If you still love GNOME, KDE, or one of their variations such as the GNOME-based Cinnamon you're not going to love Unity. That said, Unity 7 is a completely polished desktop now. Both projects are under heavy development so be ready for regular changes.

That's the quickest, cleanest way to install Mir and Unity 8. Sudo apt-get install unity8-desktop-session-mir To do that, open a terminal and enter the following command: If you want, you can give Mir and Unity 8 a try. You'll see those appear first in Ubuntu's smartphone and tablet efforts. Canonical has decided, for example, to not pull the old stable X window server and the Unity 7 shell for the graphical interface for the newer Mir graphics stack and Unity 8.

In turn, if you use an older PC you could get as much as 13 years of use out of it before you'd need to buy a new PC-just try that with Windows.Īs an LTS, Ubuntu 14.04 doesn't have a lot of new features nor has there been much in the way of changes under the hood.
That means that Canonical will be supporting this desktop Linux for five years. It's also worth noting that Ubuntu 14.04 is a long-term support (LTS) version.
Gallery: Ubuntu 14.04: Smoother than earlier versions My point in listing these systems' stats in detail is that Ubuntu works just fine even on seven-year old systems. This PC is powered by a 2.5-GHz Intel Core 2 Quad processor, 6GBs of RAM, a 1TB SATA drive, and an Intel GMA 3100 for graphics. The second was a 2008-vintage Gateway DX4710. This PC has 4GBs of RAM, a 500GB SATA (Serial ATA) drive, and an Integrated Intel 3100 GMA (Graphics Media Accelerator) chip set. I've been testing it in a VirtualBox virtual machine (VM) on a newer high-end Dell system and on two older test systems: The first was my 2007 Dell Inspiron 530S, which is powered by a 2.2-GHz Intel Pentium E2200 dual-core processor. I've been checking out the Trusty Tahr since its beta two release and I've been very pleased with it. That "inside baseball" criticism aside, I've found the latest release of Ubuntu 14.04, Trusty Tahr, to be an outstanding Linux desktop both for new users and for professionals. , and that's annoyed many non-Ubuntu Linux developers. For example, Canonical, Ubuntu's parent company, eventually plans on using its own Mir display server instead of the more broadly supported Wayland
Lately, Ubuntu has been getting a lot of flack from other Linux users for going its own way.
