From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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

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.

...is this GPT spam?

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

It reads more like a Donald Trump speech

[–] LeFantome@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

GPT would offer excellent English and perhaps some nice formatting in at least twice as many words.

How could you confuse this with GPT. The GPT style is entirely grammatically correct, perhaps a bit awkward, and incredibly bland.
