Effectugnome15.10: The Perfect Linux Desktop release

I have always claimed that Ubuntu and its Unity desktop are one of the best Linux distributions. I once liked Unity. The design is beautiful, and there is no more efficient workflow than it. The Panel (Dash), the Launcher bar (Launcher), and the HUD ...... They all integrate the appearance and functions. However, it seems a little worse later. First, there seems to be almost no improvement for the new release. Since developers have spared no effort to inject vigor into the next version of Unity (Unity8/Mir ),

I have always claimed that Ubuntu and its Unity desktop are one of the best Linux distributions. I once liked Unity. The design is beautiful, and there is no more efficient workflow than it. The Panel (Dash), the Launcher bar (Launcher), and the HUD ...... They all integrate the appearance and functions.

However, it seems a little worse later. First, there seems to be almost no improvement for the new release. As developers have spared no effort to inject vitality into the next version of Unity (Unity 8/Mir), the desktop seems to have become something to add later. During this period, there was something worth noting.

That is GNOME.

Specifically, it is GNOME 3. In essence, GNOME 3 is similar to Unity. GNOME developers decided to do their best to put the desktop on hand. Unity developers tried to integrate (ended in failure), but GNOME developers did some really important work.

That is, they helped build a perfect Linux Desktop release.

That's Ubuntu GNOME 15.10. It is what Ubuntu initially wanted to be. It is what every Linux desktop environment should do. In fact, since I used Linux, this is the first time I have installed the release, and I cannot find any necessary changes. The more time I spent on the desktop, the more I realized that I was not needed at all. This is like 18-year-old children no longer need the help of their parents. I just need to use it. Of course, I need to install something like GIMP, Audacity, and Spotify, but I don't have to do anything else.

I don't need to do it at all.

All works well

I just want to say that it is perfect because it is completely easy to use. All hardware, software, window synthesizer, installation, and upgrade are easy and carefree. In fact, there is no trouble in the whole experience. Ubuntu GNOME makes me feel that, after years of hard work, I have been waiting for this version to come out.

All the random crashes of Ubuntu in the latest version no longer exist. What is the performance? I installed Ubuntu 15.10 64-bit, updated everything, and then started running. A week later, I threw away the installed version and installed Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 64-bit. Performance improvement is quite obvious. The application runs faster, the transfer and animation are smoother, and the network speed is greatly improved.

Let's talk about the design! By default, Ubuntu GNOME is very gorgeous (see figure ). It can be said that every detail creates a perfect whole.

　A pain point

Which of the following aspects of Ubuntu GNOME must be changed is the use of the Ubuntu Software Center (USC. Many people have long believed that USC has become a huge burden of Ubuntu. In addition, we all know that Ubuntu plans to abandon USC and use GNOME Software. Despite the fact that GNOME Software has been released along with GNOME 3.10, it still cannot be installed on Ubuntu. Of course, this situation will change after Ubuntu 16.10 is released, because GNOME Software will become the default Software Center.

During this period, the Ubuntu Software Center was the only flaw in the original flawless version.

Say a few words to Canonical

Although it sounds harsh, Ubuntu GNOME is exactly what Ubuntu should be. That's simple. So far, GNOME has surpassed Unity in terms of feature improvement. The brightness of Unity fades, and the rest is eclipsed by the features provided by GNOME.

GNOME may not have such a beautiful component as HUD, and it may not try its best to achieve integration (due to the current situation of Ubuntu Phone, integration may never be achieved by Canonical anyway ), however, GNOME becomes the release version required by Linux on the desktop. It is beautiful, perfect, reliable, stable, novel, and capable of doing all the tasks you want it to do.

I realize that this won't happen at all (because Canonical has put too much effort into Unity), but Ubuntu GNOME is really great, and Canonical cannot not support it. Canonical will not discard Unity and hold GNOME. This is understandable. However, it should be put together Ubuntu GNOME and Unity on the official Ubuntu website, as an officially supported release, just like Ubuntu.

Don't get me wrong. I still like Ubuntu and Ubuntu Unity very much. But if you have a chance to try GNOME (it can run on Ubuntu 15.10), you will immediately realize that you are using a very special release version, that is far beyond the reach of Linux Desktop.

Have I taken Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 To Heaven? The only way you want to verify if this is true is to install Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 and try it yourself.
