[Bug 776867] Re: Unity option defeats UGR's purpose

 

As far as i know. The idea of UGR was not to have Gnome3 instead of
Unity. The idea was to give people a choice. Before UGR people had to
choose between Unity or Gnome3.

Another benefit is that UGR will use Gnome3 per default. A user who do
not want to use Unity can now get Gnome3 directly after install instead
of installing over Unity. Before UGR that could only be accompliced by
the use of a minimal image and then manually install all the programs.

I hope that we can accomplice a similar image in the future. Installing
Gnome-shell over Unity renders to a lesser experience resource wise. I
suspect dependencies of Unity lay in the background and make the system
slower. My system got a lot faster by using the minimal image and
Gnome3. Though the performance boost could also come from me not using
the full system.
