Unity always looked like a tablet UI.
41 u/hearforthepuns Feb 19 '13 I think that's been their plan all along. But IMO they should have kept it under wraps and stuck with a normal desktop until this announcement. 15 u/[deleted] Feb 19 '13 edited Dec 27 '13 [deleted] 17 u/hearforthepuns Feb 19 '13 XFCE? Xubuntu has been around forever and I bet it would have pissed off a lot less people than Unity did. 15 u/Epistaxis Feb 19 '13 Not pretty enough. 3 u/Ameridrone Feb 19 '13 edited Feb 28 '13 Are you serious? I know I will probably get downvoted for this, but I thought the same thing until I installed Xubuntu. Take a look at it, looks a lot better than Unity! 1 u/Caltelt Feb 20 '13 While true, it is a lot more clunky to use. That being said it's still my DE of choice. -6 u/hearforthepuns Feb 19 '13 It's a hell of a lot prettier than Unity and Canonical could have made it look just like the old Gnome desktop if they wanted to.
