Re: Unity desktop environment

There is already an independent project to port Unity I believe, It wasnt too long ago. I swear I can remember there being a repo, let me see...

Question, seriously though...

Doesn't unity look similar to Gnome 3?

If it is that one,  that will be a tough task.

Anywho, just wondered

I have no idea what gnome looks like. I abandoned that ship with the arrival of gnome3. The desktop image provided on the link has all the subtlety of Fisher-Price on steroids and caters to the ADD generation. I don't know how anyone could do serious work in that environment. Gives me a headache . . .

Devuan is not soliciting additional desktops and I am not sure it would even be offcially included unless it gets passed down to us from Debian.

Re: Unity desktop environment

I abandoned KDE/GNOME many, many years ago, they are just so bloated; normally I would run a WM, but it is very convenient to install from the Devuan Live version of this distro, that I now use XFCE as my primary desktop; I certainly wouldn't want anything heavier/bigger.
