PcWorld: “Canonical made quite a splash last fall when it announced that the Unity interface used in its Ubuntu Netbook Edition would become the default interface in the Linux distribution’s desktop version as well beginning with version 11.04, or Natty Narwhal.
Previously, Ubuntu used the GNOME shell by default. Conflicts over design issues between Canonical and the GNOME project, however, apparently caused Canonical to shift to the multitouch and 3D-enabled Unity shell instead.
Not long after Canonical’s announcement, developers on both the Fedora and openSUSE projects indicated that they’d start implementing Unity on their own distributions as well. Whereas Ubuntu is currently the No. 1 Linux distribution, according to Distrowatch, Fedora is No. 3 and openSUSE is No. 5.
“Unity’s an interesting project,” wrote Fedora developer Adam Williamson back in December. “I want to look at it and compare it to GNOME Shell and I think quite a few others do too, so it seems nice to package it so you can run both on Fedora.”
This week, however, both efforts apparently stalled.”
