Ubuntu 11.10, replacing unity with gnome

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 5871 / 3 Years ago, mon, october 4, 2021, 2:48:22

Today I've decided to replace unity with gnome. I used the "gnome-session-fallback".
My question is: is a fallback safe/effective in the long run? I was told that I can actually use some commands and get rid of unity totally and replace it with gnome. Is it true that replacing means more available things (compared to a gnome fallback)?

I was wondering what the real difference is between a fallback and a new installation of gnome.

Ubuntu already comes with Gnome 3, don't get all confused. Unity is compiz plug in, the underlaying environment is Gnome 3. The Gnome Shell is the new implementation of the Gnome 3 GUI, it's made of the regular Gnome session and the Fallback session.

Put simply Gnome Classic or Gnome Fallback Session, is the Gnome Shell without the "3D" greatness.

It is as effective as you get to work with it. Now, yes you can Uninstall Unity and just keep Gnome Shell or the use the Fallback session.

Now, I get lost when you ask if you get "more things available" more of what?.
