Unity 成为 Ubuntu 11.04 默认操作界面

[pityonline]

Mark Shuttleworth 宣布 Unity 将取代 GNOME Shell 成为 Ubuntu 11.04 的默认操作界面。

Unity 是由 Ubuntu 针对上网本发起的用户操作界面改良项目，与 GNOME 3.0 即将引入的 GNOME Shell 同样使用了 Clutter 做为基本图形框架。

Mark 认为 GNOME Shell 和 Unity 都是 GNOME 桌面环境的操作界面外壳，此举并不意味着要彻底抛弃 GNOME 桌面环境。同时，他还指出 Unity 和 GNOME Shell 的竞争关系对于 GNOME 的发展是有好处的。

The big news at the Ubuntu Developer Summit? Moving to Unity as the default interface for Ubuntu Desktop with Natty Narwhal (11.04), rather than GNOME Shell.

Earlier this year, Canonical representatives had to deny that they were forking GNOME with the work on the Unity interface. (Quick disclaimer, I'm a GNOME Member and help out with GNOME PR.) Unity is a Canonical-sponsored project that was initially delivered for the Ubuntu Netbook Remix. GNOME Shell is the interface being developed for GNOME 3.0, which was delayed to spring 2011.

Apparently, Canonical were being asked the wrong question. During the opening keynote, Mark Shuttleworth has announced that Canonical is committing to making Unity the default desktop experience "for users that have the appropriate software and hardware." Unity requires compositing to work properly, which means users need functioning 3D support to use the interface.

Unity will require quite a bit of work between now and April, 2011 to get Unity into shape as the default desktop. While the Ubuntu desktop 10.10 received glowing reviews, the netbook release much less so. Canonial partner and system integrator System 76 chose to stick with the 10.04 LTS release on its netbook line, saying the interface was "slow and in many ways confusing to use."

What happens with GNOME at this point? Shuttleworth says that Unity is "a shell for GNOME, even if it isn't GNOME shell." He added that he thinks it's good to have "competition" between GNOME Shell and Unity, and referenced Monty Python's Life of Brian as an example of factionalism in a community. Shuttleworth says "we're all in this together," even if there's differences of opinion.

It will be interesting to see how the larger community reacts to this. I'll be covering this more extensively throughout the week, so stay tuned.

[leni]

unity长啥样？

[nasul]

I saw that they have plans to integrate Unity in the feature Ubuntu 11.xx but we'll see in April.

个人觉得还是桌面版的好用些，虽然上网版的界面给人新颖、华丽的感觉，但是用了一段时间还是会觉得桌面版顺手。

刚看到这推

[tenzu]

难道就这样？丑死了

[pityonline]

起先以为是把 unity 作为 netbook 的默认桌面环境，哪知连 desktop 也是了，ubuntu 太求新了……

看那英文评论第一条……

[lerosua]

支持compiz

[陽光院景仁]

桌面般的Unity肯定會修改，和netbook不完全一樣。

[phoenixlzx]

Arch用户表示没感觉。e17暂时不换

[扭曲杰]

unitiy也就一般吧

[sammysun]

我试用过，觉得有时候会卡卡的，不太流畅
还有就是不太习惯
