Ubuntu Unity Existed Before The GNOME Shell?

[alexThunder]

If you want to know when a piece of software 'existed', go and look for the code. I don't see why you think this is a weird thing to do.

It excludes every previous work.

If any claims were made about previous work, that would be relevant.

And? Gnome shell is the worst DE ever made. Unity rocks. Suck it up . And stop whining already!!!

The current conversation isn't about which DE sucks. Calling out facts is not whining.

Like UNR?

But actually I was thinking of the planning phase i.e..

The claim that was made is that Unity existed before GNOME Shell. That is a factually inaccurate claim. UNR is a somewhat related but still separate project and no claims were made about UNR.

If by some freak chance Unity was in development before we're even aware, I'd argue that it doesn't really matter as they chose to disclose the project well after Gnome Shell was widely reported on, and publicly under development.

That is a factually inaccurate claim.

In how far public presence of LoC is "factually" equivalent to existence was subject to the last several pages (and still is).

Ingoring all this and starting all over again isn't making it any more factual.

It's your turn. Show us any "fact" that says that unity "existed" in any way shape or form prior to any "fact" that gnome shell "existed" You are the one defending the claim so the proof is up to you. I am satisfied with AdamW evidence that he brought to the conversation as showing "factually" that gnome shell "existed" first.

Congratulations. I can't believe you actually got people to respond to your trolling for 6 pages.

This is how it's done, people.
