One of the most active Ubuntu developers Jo-Erlend Schinstad is also a pro-active defender of Ubuntu Unity and HUD. He tries his best to clarify doubts of users and educate them about the features of Ubuntu Unity. Muktware has published quite a lot of his articles on various topics related to Ubuntu. We recently interviewed him to understand his approach towards Ubuntu and its users. He has now posted a video to compare Ubuntu Unity with Gnome Panel, as people seem to keep saying that they are more efficient with Gnome Panel than with Ubuntu Unity.

Here is the video where he tried to compare Gnome Panel with Ubuntu Unity



In the description of the YouTube video he says, "I knew in advance that Unity is a much more efficient shell than Gnome Panel. But I wanted to see how much. So I created a real life task for myself and did it in both shells. There's no cheating, and I really did my very best both times. Interesting results..."

What do you think of this comparison, share in the comments below.

A free software fund-a-mental-ist and Charles Bukowski fan, Swapnil also writes fiction and tries to find cracks in a proprietary company's 'paper armours'. He is a big movie buff and prefers listening to music at such high volumes that he's gone partially deaf when it comes to identifying anything positive about proprietary companies.
