Unity 2D Will Be Removed from Ubuntu 12.10

I love UNITY-3D. Also, I never felt the need to use unity-2D. So, I don't mind. However, I wonder this may again cause ripples in the Ubuntu community.

It will be better if they replace UNITY-2D with MATE or similar (But I know Shuttleworth will do that).

the thing is people were happy before unity. now is like it or gtfo.

I know something else Canonical should remove too, it is the "blur" effect in the "dash", because it steal computer resources like crazy. I installed "MyUnity" on my computer and click "dash" then "off" and my computer was, if not 2x faster, possible 10 times faster :-)

Ubuntu should maintain a lighter version because even in 1st gen core i3 laptops Unity-3D doesn't play that much well. And for serious users, developers, full time linux users and so on it's preferable to have a lighter version. Ok, that's my opinion.

I don't like Unity, period. I switched to Linux Mint with MATE.

I don't think it'd be a wise decision. Ubuntu can be run on many low configured machine till the latest release of 12.04. But if Unity-2D would not be available many machine cannot survive for Ubuntu.

actually i have it running very well on a 6 year old amd 64 sincle core 2 gig computer. it runs better than previous release. and that pc has no internet connection to update.

Unity is a pretty awful interface decision all round. I tried it and totally hated it - why should I re-learn the interface. The best thing you can do is get rid of Unity and go back to Gnome. Unit is Windows 8 fur Linux users.
