There are two things I never liked about Unity, the Amazon thing, and the super shallowness when pressing the &quot;windows&quot; button to launch apps. It only works reasonable well on super fast machines with a really good graphics card. I don&#x27;t understand why it takes up to a second before I can start typing on almost any machine I use. And it is only a overlay which could almost be static.<p>Gnome on the other hand does the whole live animation thing for every window on every desktop and it is still mega fast even on my oldest machines. I press the button and basically instantly I am able to start typing and launching the app I need.
