New Ubuntu OS Secrets revealed

http://www.necopost.com
Ubuntu 11.04 default user interface know as Unity AKA Craptastic.

Ubuntu did not rush Unity release because they wanted to appeal to new users. It should already be obvious to some that Unity is a marketing based decision. A Windows machines looks and feel like Windows Operating System, The same goes for apple products, all Mac OS X looks and feel like a Mac. So Ubuntu is trying to put their makeup on to finally have a face they can call their own, just before they can get in the game of OS vs. OS. Their aim, Ubuntu vs. Mac.

Opinion express are my own. The title of this video is fictional, any actual Ubuntu "secrets" revealed if there are even any are purely by coincidence. I am not an Ubuntu employee, I do use the Ubuntu OS on my machine.

This video is my Ubuntu 11.04 Classic, recorded in 1080p HD AVI, I tried the avi instead of Webm this time.The avi file is way bigger. It took ages to upload and process on Youtube.

I actually like that Canonical is developing their own user interface for Ubuntu. This way it can give it its own original look and feel. And if someone wants to use Ubuntu. but doesn't like Unity, they can install XFCE 4 which can be easily customized to look identical to Gnome 2, which is what you refer to as Ubuntu Classic.

I'm starting to get used to Unity.

@the0real0realitykid Canonical is a business. So, they will do what they need to do for profits. And have no problem with that. With that said, their new UI is a move backward compare to Gnome 2. The same goes for Gnome 3.

@alexthehaitian do not worry, my friend, linuxmint debian xfce edition is nothing like what debian used to be! no more long waits for apps! Thats a thing of the past. Mints future is very very bright now. they are no longer a frozen release like ubuntu is, they are updating now continuously. Also after downloading and installing gnome 3 on 11.04y, gnome 3 does not support compiz any longer! they have there own built in version and that it!

@alexthehaitian but this has been a trouble for along time i think. my first linux was slackware, if i were to invite someone to try linux today i'd still be split between throwing them in the deep end with something like arch or having them start the latest ubu with unity..

(p.s i like your desktop, little bright for my personal tastes/eyes but very nice :3)

@alexthehaitian it's the negative coverage that gets me recently i guess xD there's alot of people hating on unity and 2bf i'd not use it myself (probably will test it soon tho..next you'll hear from me will be a long winded appology probably xD), if it's inviting to mac and windows users then i see this as a positive thing. tho after watching your vid again i can relate to what you're saying about inviting new users. (continued in next post)

@oOJINxOo1 There is nothing wrong at being a CPP. I am a philomath myself. You are welcome to post as my comments you want. It's ok to have an little intelligent discussion going on with anyone who can keep up.

Can you keep up? :)

@oOJINxOo1 Customizing Window and Desktop Manager is taking candy from a baby. You telling me stuff I already know.

@alexthehaitian (sry for 2nd post, i'll stop after this ;3) gnome/kde are slow but shiny, open/flux/blackbox are WMs aimed towards devs, and that's what linux wants still, more devs. And yes i can code a little, tinker'd with python for afew years now, learnt bits and pieces of other languages but is just a hobby for me, so yeah i'm a coding newb x3 everyone has to start somewhere

also sorry for being a douche with my opinion, it's just the way i see things tho, linux is about learning.

[oOJINxOo1]

@alexthehaitian That's besides the point, configuring a wm isnt hard. if it is then unity is for you.

linux is linux, ubuntu makes it easy yes, and unity is for people that don't wish to have to tinker. is it unity you're not happy with or a lack of willingness to take a step and tailor other WMs to your needs?

@GPEART1 Have you tried Debian? Ubuntu was base on Debian
