GNOME vs Canonical

[Eric Nicholls]

Good evening Guys,


Before Ubuntu Linux was just an alternative of Windows for tech savvy people
only. Gnome and other Linux distributions already existed but they weren't
meant for regular users. Nevertheless Mark Shuttleworth had a different
vision and he decided to take the advantage of Linux (Open Source, Simple,
Fast, high performance) and put it into an OS that could challenge Mac OS X
and Windows. And then Ubuntu was born (Linux For Human Beings).

So far you can compare Ubuntu with Mac OS X but there are still some buckets
to fill. Even thought Ubuntu outstands over the rest of any other Linux
distribution, it still looks like other Linux Distribution and it is almost
limited to what any other Linux distro can do.

But Unity is the start of something new. Thanks to Unity a lot of features
will come native and built in. For example, this days you need to install
and configure a lot of stuff from Ubuntu 10.10 in order to get a better
graphical experience (Compiz Fusion, Docky, Google Gadgets, ect). With
Unity everything will come on by default.

Besides it makes Ubuntu unique and a better rival for Mac OS X.

Maybe it will be hard to adapt at the beginning but I feel it will become
better on every Ubuntu deployment.

I do Like Gnome but the same thing happened to all "Debian" Users that had
to let it go for a better OS.


Warm regards,

Eric Nicholls
