From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I used Unity for five or six years. It was undeniably fine. I had no complaints.

I used it at university. I don't think anyone there complained about it, and these people were not Linux users...

That's good! It should be usable and intuitive for everybody.

But isn't the new version great

Probably? I switched employers and I'm running osx now. I prefer Unity, but osx works too.
