Introduction: GNOME Shell vs. Ubuntu Unity-the fire of the default desktop interface is imminent. The two sides have been on the stage for a long time, and it is time to decide who will laugh at the end. In this article, Jack Wallen will give his own opinions on the two sides of the showdown.

GNOME Shell and Ubuntu Unity, the default desktop interface against the two sides on the horizon. No matter which party wins, it is destined to lead to a strong response from the user-a bid from a clap of hands, and an injustice from others. But when the battle on the desktop becomes fierce, it is doomed that one party will drive the other party away. Which party is superior in strength? In addition, I can make a comparison between the two sides here and summarize the respective prospects of GNOME Shell and Ubuntu Unity.

First impression

First, let's take a look at how the user first saw the two friends. Assume that you have no idea about these two desktop interfaces before. What kind of reaction will the user have when they first come into contact with these two interfaces? If you look at them side by side (see figure A and figure B), it is estimated that your conclusion should be the same as what I came up with-in the first impression, ubuntu Unity has a better affinity for new users. Why? Because new users do not know how to place the mouse pointer in the upper left corner or click the "activity" button to open the starter menu immediately before a desktop that is almost blank. On the Unity interface, all the starters stay on the desktop, waiting for you to click it.

The two interfaces you see in use are default settings (except for the GIMP program opened for a more comprehensive display ). GNOME Shell lacks an obvious way for users to execute applications, which is indeed a stumbling block for new users.

So far, Unity has no small advantage.
