Bro. Use punctuation. Help your readers.
Tell that to the AI which actually wrote that article.
Ai doesn't make those errord
Unless you tell it to. "Make this sound like a human with terrible grammar."
The poster's history is grammar cancer.
Here's the problem i can't edit it again
You still used no punctuation in your latest messages. Learn to use punctuation. It will get you further in life.
Everyone is going on about the lack of punctuation; I can't get over this snippet. It's like the ideal of an ego wrote this.
If you'd like to know my experience with Unity DE, I thought it felt like a toy and when it was packaged with Ubuntu, it was the first time I left vanilla Ubuntu since the days of Gutsy Gibbon.
I'm glad to hear Unity getting love. The customizability is by far linux's key strength. So it can give people what they want. For example, it gives me the ability to completely ignore Unity.
Will it your point after all.but remember not anything is going to be forgotten forever.
...is this GPT spam?
How could you confuse this with GPT. The GPT style is entirely grammatically correct, perhaps a bit awkward, and incredibly bland.
I guess this is more like when you keep tapping the next word in autocorrect.
GPT would offer excellent English and perhaps some nice formatting in at least twice as many words.
It reads more like a Donald Trump speech
No its my actual writing but i can see why are you confused by my style
I still think KDE is a much smarter desktop environment and much more light or fast. I never liked GNOME 3 and Unity had many performance issues in the past. I also tried GNOME 3 recently and still, I needed many plugins to make it good and usable and was still lacking much stuff, while on KDE works all perfectly. I'm waiting for Plasma 6 now. :D

Those are some punctiation characters you for sure missed. Please use multiple scentences, that was a hell of a read
Ok sorry for being inconsistent
Its fine, but really improves readability :D imagine yourself breathing. Every scentence has a beginning, climax (point of most tension) and an end.
Shortening it to many shorter scentences helps
As far as I understand, Unity is mostly just a Gtk-based desktop environment similar to Cinnamon, but with the Unity shell and launcher, and the global menu.
As a long-time Mac user I always liked the global menu, but it was just such a pain to always have to patch Gtk to get it to work, and in the end it isn't such a huge improvement to my quality of life that I think it is worth the trouble. It is nice that Unity takes care of this for you. That said, and I hate to admit it, but I think Gnome actually is more stable than Unity, mostly because there is so much more financial backing for it, so it is hard for me to recommend using Unity unless you really just love the aesthetics of it.
Ok but you know that im using the official Ubuntu unity flavor thats maintained and i really just want to be unique using an Underrated de instead of gnome and the like but kde is also great as well and i will switch to it after i get a customized to unity first
I love your spirit here, but please add punctuation to your comments in the future.
Actually I am liking her writing. (Not native myself either.)
Why are you guys like this its just a very passionate post talking about the unity de
It makes you a bit harder to understand
Oh its my keyboard being not functioning well again
I used Unity for five or six years. It was undeniably fine. I had no complaints.
I used it at university. I don't think anyone there complained about it, and these people were not Linux users...
That's good! It should be usable and intuitive for everybody.
But isn't the new version great
Probably? I switched employers and I'm running osx now. I prefer Unity, but osx works too.
Unity started with pretty awful performance (much like GNOME 3) and coincided with some infamous decisions on the part of Canonical, namely that whole business with the Amazon integration, so it's permanently tainted in the minds of many. It also meant that the largest distro in town was suddenly using a desktop that was much less inviting to newcomers than the familiar GNOME 2.
I'm glad it's being kept alive as it does have a unique vibe to it, but I always found the workflow a bit awkward and much prefer GNOME for something modern and xfce or MATE for when I want something traditional.
Ok so do you still recommend it for other specific users
I'm old school. I've been using GUI based OSes since Windows 3.11 and 95, and prefer KDE due to its similarity. Unity feels like what they did with Windows 8, where they tried to turn a desktop OS into a tablet OS. And it just feels "klunky", for lack of a better term. Too much bling for not enough benefit. KDE strikes a nice balance between eye-candy and responsiveness.
As a long time Ubuntu hater, no. They did so much weird de shit that I eventually had to fuck off and I've been happier(in regards to computers only) ever since.
I miss Unity. It never got the love it deserved from a praise nor development standpoint. My typical Gnome desktop typically ends up being a quasi-Unity layout. I need to spin up the latest Ubuntu Unity spin for nostalgia's sake.
Why not use Unity then? You still can.
Unity was fine, I used it. But the fact I've never tried to replicate that workflow since moving on from Ubuntu is pretty telling.
Using stock Gnome on Fedora Workstation now and couldn't be happier.
Last time I used unity full time was 3 years ago on an old hp, couldn't run gnome for some reason and I was very noo in Linux at the time so I installed Ubuntu 16 and upgraded it to 18. The aesthetic was very windows 7. It was alright but I prefer gnome
I realize the name was likely chosen for completely unrelated reasons, but I can't stop laughing about UnityX being the only variant of Unity with Wayland support.
No not currently
I never particularly cared for the Unity desktop. The first few times I tried it, there were hardware incompatibilities, slow performance, and crashing. Gnome3 is a complicated mess. I prefer to keep it simple. XFCE is fine for me.
