how much did canonical have to fuck with to make this DE impossible to install outside of ubuntu
what happened to the days when they actually contributed to the linux ecosystem instead of forking everything

Christ linux is disgusting.
i feel bad for you, anon
cinnamon is nicer for me
>>54269365
Why would you want to install it outside Ubuntu? If you really want to use Unity, just install Ubuntu. You won't have to jump through so many hoops just to use your computer.
>>54269378
naw i'm just trying to do something obviously completely unsupported. have fun trying to customize your windows 10 pajeet
>>54269392
i hate apt and fixed release distros in general. Unity was pretty comfy though, and makes more sense on a desktop than gnome shell.
>>54269387
cinnamon a shit
>>54269395
I don't get this meme. The pajeets should still be on XP.
>>54269410
How is GNOME usable on literally anything other than a desktop?
>>54269443
its works great on my touchscreen laptop, actually. its got pinch zoom, and even some gestures
>>54269365
They contribute, just nothing useful at the UI level. Xubuntu, Lubuntu etc. are all pretty nice because you get up to date packages but no Unity.
>>54269381
Indeed. Last time I replaced my DE on windows my package manager did not complain at all and everything went smooth as fuck
Why the fuck do you have Arch if you are going to run something like Unity? Jesus christ, dude.
Take a day to config awesome and stop using a DE entirely, thank me later.
>>54269546
b-but anon... i am using awesome
>>54269574
There ya go.
Meanwhile on Gentoo# layman -a unity-gentoo
# eselect profile set x
# emerge -av unity-build-env
emerge -uDNavt unity-meta
Done'd.

>8 hours of compiling later
>>54269574
>stop using a DE entirely
That's clearly a panel I see.
>>54269774
DELETE THIS!
>>54269365
>Unity on arch
Lmao
>>54269759
>Done'd
After a couple of weeks you say
>>54269387
Cinnamon is shit, Just use mate, LXDE, or XFCE
God dash is terrible
>>54269365
What's wrong with manual compilation? That's all I do on Gentoo.
>>54269365
all stuff canonical do aren't easy to install on other destributions. Even debian.
Those guys are fucking morrons.
>>54269432
Microsoft pays Indians to post pro-Windows posts on online forums
Was the repo by Cannonical? Nope. The repo was outdated but so its Github. If you used Unity-for-Arch from the wiki, then it has to be updated for over a year.
You can try though the official source and see how it goes. Don't be stupid and use fakeroot (through a pkgbuild file) so you don't fuck your system again.

>>54269759
Try it and then come back. It looked good on theory for arch too.
>>54269365
why would you even install that shit anyway? even most ubuntu users hate it and use the kde or xfce versions.
>>54269365
Werks pretty gud here.
>>54270843
this
Mate with compiz is the heaviest DE anyone should ever be using
