I miss it

My family lived in a soviet satellite state. They all miss communism.

Unity was fucking garbage. GNOME 2 was GOAT

Same, user, same

my parents and grandparents did, too. they loathe those fuckers that annexed our country, sent all the farmers to gulags and stole all our shit.

Slovak actually
Might be because we weren't anexxed, but the people in my country mostly carry disdain for the corruption that capitalism has seemingly led to. Not that I'm really qualified to talk about that. I was born quite some time after the "revolution".

Current Ubuntu is pretty similar

I don't miss Gnome 2 at all. I've had my first Loonix experiences on Ubuntu 9.04, and at many points it's been fucking infuriating, and this sorta appearance with that fucking font and color scheme almost triggers PTSD every time I see it.

Current version is a sluggish buggy piece of shit because they just slapped a bunch of extensions on Gnome to make it look like Unity. What they have now is inferior to Unity in every way.

Debian with GNOME 2 was better.

Why aren't you using it now?

It was less polished

I'm eastern European and i can tell you for a fact that the vast majority of people that lived in the USSR hated it, not that it matters because communism was always a dumb idea and it will never come back.

well, i can still feel the aftermath of communism. commies completely fucked our infrastructure but we're rebuilding.

>it will never come back.
Just wait until universal basic income and when most jobs will be automated

Same here. From what I’ve heard it was pretty bad in USSR, but the communist european countries that weren’t directly a part of USSR, only under their heavy influence were actually pretty comfy.

it was fucking shit and your contrarian ass won't change it.
The only reason it took off was because gnome3 was even worse

It is literally the ugliest kind of desktop and I still cannot believe someone thought this was a good idea.
>any year
>needing more than one bar on your desktop

They picked up the entire user base of what used to be a separate distro, ubuntu gnome

Socialist nostalgia is really just capitalist dissatisfaction. Bad capitalism doesn't make socialism better though.

I felt Unity was pretty polished relative to the others out there. The only thing I felt was shit is the taskbar. Its fine in ops picture with a few applications open. Open 30-40 and the taskbar on the left has no real way of rendering all of those icons and it looked retarded.

>the communist european countries that weren’t directly a part of USSR, only under their heavy influence were actually pretty comfy.
It depended on the country.
Hungary was probably the best off, yugoslavia wasn't even really socialist and allowed people to work in the west.
In contrast east germany was a shithole that heavily depended on exporting "quality" products to west germany.

The USSR was much more communist and weird compared to the european countries, some examples: a lot of people in rural locations got everything they needed from their workplace, the convenience stores often only stocked fish conserves. The train tracks were deliberately built so that people could not see anything of the environment at most times because the government was so afraid of espionage. Also the train tracks deliberately have a different size compared to standard european tracks. Most products hat their price fixed and embossed onto their package/case. There were a lot of "secret" towns that only people who worked there were allowed to enter. And so on.
