What is your favorite desktop? (Survey results)

first_main_article” class=”article readability=”72″>

As we said, we reveal today the results of a survey that has had enough participation, is that the question deserved what is your favorite desktop? As simple as that. And the choice has been the most votes has been, surprise …

kde 500x282 What is your favorite desktop? (survey results)

Do you recognize? Well, because it was the first environment desktop GNU / Linux seems to return to hold the throne he lost a few years, if not in use-we know how difficult, if not impossible, that is to quantify that, at least in the opinion. We recall that in 2011 fell short of GNOME 2, the winner then.

But it rained a lot in two years, and as I said the other day, we had never taken so much variety in GNU / Linux, speaking of desktop interfaces. Now KDE is king , it is true, but, how much margin? What has been the overall picture? We have shown in the following image (click to enlarge):

500x500 Poll What is your favorite desktop? (survey results)

I’m not going to evaluate the results, that’s what you are you, but if I would say I have had several surprises along the evolution of voting. The first I have told you already, KDE has won the crown with one important difference, the second has surpassed Cinnamon Xfce , which is well below what is expected, considering the popularity enjoyed by Linux Mint in recent times. I was also surprised to see how MATE beats heading to LXDE , and there is much user out there who likes window managers and “Móntatelo yourself” which I think is great.

votes for “Other” are, as always, difficult to analyze, but with a quick review of the comments you can glimpse how much like Openbox ‘bareback’, while others prefer dwm, icewm … U options complete as Razor-Qt or Pantheon, Gnome with Cairo-Dock … Anyway, as a catch is not bad, really, but it has only been over GNOME Fallback and E17 (the latter , by the way …).

About the survey results, an error margin is safe. Also, in any case have to be taken as absolute truth, of course. However, I do think a sample to take into consideration on how is the courtyard on this issue, even “above”. Regarding the faults that we have had on the development of the survey, we note for the next.

Install and uninstall applications from Unity in Ubuntu

Many Ubuntu users complained when introduced Canonical Unity , but the interface was much improved from earlier versions, both in aesthetics and performance. One of its most attractive is that it facilitates access to available programs, and even allows you to install or uninstall directly from the “dash”.

Those who use Ubuntu

long surely feel more comfortable running apt-get install in terminal, but the board of Unity application offers friendly and fast method, ideal for those not used to the command line and create that the Software Center is very slow.

The first thing we will do is open the application board from the Ubuntu button on the launcher. If we click on the second icon from the bottom bar will see the available applications, both installed as the Software Center catalog.

Feedly and Unity, a lovely couple

first_main_article” class=”article readability=”68″>

If you are one of those users that Google is going to stop lying to the closure of Reader and all of the alternatives, which are many, I’ve opted for Feedly, if also a member of Ubuntu and I like to take advantage Unity, you’re in luck, because webapp of Feedly is available .

web app feedly 500x264Feedly unity and Unity, a lovely couple

In fact, the application has been in development a couple of months, but it was not until Monday that unveiled via OMG! Ubuntu! It was a story that was reserved for the PING , and we had to do “weird things” to install, but everything has changed since the advent of, yes, a PPA repository .

So without much eat the head, because I’m not interested Feedly especially (for me), I was able to install the app , test and check that runs luxury and Here I come, to recommend it to any user of Ubuntu and Feedly because it is, as they say, must have .

To install this application, available for Ubuntu 12.04, 12.10 and 13.04, open the console and:

Once installed

to activate entering Feedly, which as you know users of this service is only available on PC from your extension for Firefox or Chrome / Chromium (above link). And although presumably Chrome Chromium-that also integrates -webapps of Ubuntu, me I only worked with Firefox . Yes, it has worked very well.

In fact, it has worked exceptionally well, considering the profound disappointment that I took with webapps on Ubuntu 13.04. The same to which Mark Shuttleworth introduced at the time as “first class citizens on the desktop” and I have found-all I’ve tried: Gmail, Docs, Twitter, Google, Grooveshark … – useless. What the hell I want an icon in the panel that serves only pitcher

that happens with Feedly, which shows the number of unread items in the panel icon and integrates with the Ubuntu notification system , as shown in the header image for this post. This really is a webapp ! I said: Recommended one hundred percent.

Note: I remember reading some incompatibility issues webapps in Ubuntu 13.04, but I have not quite clear. If there is a ‘ubuntero’ advanced out there that I can get out of doubt, be happy to read your comments.
