Popularity of Unity

[troymius]

Is there any poll that would measure how was Unity received? How many users like it and how many went back to Gnome or even switched to Xubuntu etc?

Don't know of a poll, but I've been using Unity since beta 1 and come to like it, while I wait for gnome3 in 11.10. I've found Unity fairly stable for a young desktop environment. From what I've read in this forum some people have had major problem, but I'm not one of them.

I also like Unity alot, i tried Fedora 15 today to check out gnome 3, but it did not even want to load..the KDE version loaded fine...my onboard graphics suck <.<

You might want to post this in the Cafe. As it's not a support thread. Just ask the staff to move it for you - report button.

Good Luck finding neutral polls that reflect the actual number of users who made the decision and their final choice. Especially, polls that don't have an agenda.

I have nothing against Unity. It is a pleasant DE that saves screen space. Sadly, I can't use it, because my main computer doesn't have enough kick. I use Unity on other computers (the ones that aren't using Lucid.

Another Unity thread?

I am sure that the Ubuntu team has ways of monitoring it and that they are doing so closely. Did they publish? I can't find anything.

Test both and post your findings to your solution. Unity or Gnome?

I am looking for data, not love/hate stories.

Sammiev, there is a ton of these tests out there, mostly done by experienced users or even developers. But they don't tell me where is the user base going.
