[Ubuntu-PH] SJVN reports that "Ubuntu changes its desktop from GNOME to Unity"

+1 for Unity. This is good for Gnome and to the free software at large, not only for Ubuntu.

I agree. It was quite misleading. 


Regardless, I may be speaking for myself regarding this matter but, the UI decision isn't a deal breaker for me. What's so hard about doing "aptitude install your-favorite-ui-package" ? 


I find the new move to be refreshing and bold. I'm on gnome-shell for a long while now, and ive been using it on a production workstation every friggin day. I feel like I've been working much faster on gnome-shell than on GNOME. But that's just me I suppose. 


For the Unity decision? bring it on :).

Actually as one commentator pointed this out, the title is SJVN's article is misleading, it is not a departure from "GNOME" which is the desktop, but from the default shell of Gnome. Unity can be understood as a counterpart or another alternative of "Gnome Shell" which runs on top of Gnome.
