Unity is a desktop platform, based on technologies such as Nux, GTK and Compiz.
Why is the unity is underrated when its what i use right now with Ubuntu Unity and its actually really great experience for my 2021 HP Stream 11 Laptop and i hope you all to share your experiences using the unity de in Debain Ubuntu Arch Fedora Gentoo Opensuse Etc thanks for your Amazing community my Wonderful Friends

Everyone is going on about the lack of punctuation; I can't get over this snippet. It's like the ideal of an ego wrote this.
If you'd like to know my experience with Unity DE, I thought it felt like a toy and when it was packaged with Ubuntu, it was the first time I left vanilla Ubuntu since the days of Gutsy Gibbon.
I'm glad to hear Unity getting love. The customizability is by far linux's key strength. So it can give people what they want. For example, it gives me the ability to completely ignore Unity.

I still think KDE is a much smarter desktop environment and much more light or fast. I never liked GNOME 3 and Unity had many performance issues in the past. I also tried GNOME 3 recently and still, I needed many plugins to make it good and usable and was still lacking much stuff, while on KDE works all perfectly. I'm waiting for Plasma 6 now. :D
As far as I understand, Unity is mostly just a Gtk-based desktop environment similar to Cinnamon, but with the Unity shell and launcher, and the global menu.
As a long-time Mac user I always liked the global menu, but it was just such a pain to always have to patch Gtk to get it to work, and in the end it isn't such a huge improvement to my quality of life that I think it is worth the trouble. It is nice that Unity takes care of this for you. That said, and I hate to admit it, but I think Gnome actually is more stable than Unity, mostly because there is so much more financial backing for it, so it is hard for me to recommend using Unity unless you really just love the aesthetics of it.
Ok but you know that im using the official Ubuntu unity flavor thats maintained and i really just want to be unique using an Underrated de instead of gnome and the like but kde is also great as well and i will switch to it after i get a customized to unity first
As a long time Ubuntu hater, no. They did so much weird de shit that I eventually had to fuck off and I've been happier(in regards to computers only) ever since.
I'm old school. I've been using GUI based OSes since Windows 3.11 and 95, and prefer KDE due to its similarity. Unity feels like what they did with Windows 8, where they tried to turn a desktop OS into a tablet OS. And it just feels "klunky", for lack of a better term. Too much bling for not enough benefit. KDE strikes a nice balance between eye-candy and responsiveness.
I miss Unity. It never got the love it deserved from a praise nor development standpoint. My typical Gnome desktop typically ends up being a quasi-Unity layout. I need to spin up the latest Ubuntu Unity spin for nostalgia's sake.
Last time I used unity full time was 3 years ago on an old hp, couldn't run gnome for some reason and I was very noo in Linux at the time so I installed Ubuntu 16 and upgraded it to 18. The aesthetic was very windows 7. It was alright but I prefer gnome
I never particularly cared for the Unity desktop. The first few times I tried it, there were hardware incompatibilities, slow performance, and crashing. Gnome3 is a complicated mess. I prefer to keep it simple. XFCE is fine for me.
