Unity Update

On August 10, 2010, in Thoughts, by Silver Fox

As some may be aware I elected to install Unity on my Acer Aspire One.  I found it totally unusable, mainly brought on by a non functioning nautilus :(  Thankfully my system was not borked, as I was able to use the traditional UI session instead of Unity.

I do not recall where but I came to hear that more development had been on Unity and I believed it would be worth seeing how the development is progressing (especially given it will be installed by default in the next Ubuntu Netbook Remix).  I am happy to report that that Nautilus is now functional! :)  Well done to all the developers who have been working so hard on the project, it is really appreciated.

Although not finished I have found Unity to be a little sluggish.  That could be related to my Acers technical specifications (Only 512mb ram for example).  I am intending to install an additional 1GB of RAM in the future.  This upgrade could make all the difference in these lags that I am experiencing.  Regardless,  I am very impressed and look forward to using Unity more in the future :)
