Shuttleworth: No GNOME Shell by default in 10.10

**Nick_Jinn** · August 7th, 2010

So, is Unity going to be the DE just for netbooks or is it going to be the default for regular desktop edition as well?

I am a big fan of Gnome personally. I might check out a new desktop environment but I might end up going with a different distro that uses gnome if I am unhappy with it.

Currently it is a UNE only target but there is no reason why the design wouldn't scale up or down in size and scope if they do it right.

I think we will see them push at least parts of Unity to regular desktop deployments after 10.10.
