Canonical called it Unity because it was supposed to "unite" all your device interfaces, PC, phone and yes even TV.

Reading this i thought "the fuck?" But the more i thought about it the more i realized that yes, unity could work on TVs using only a remote not many other programs tho, but that's the same issue on phones

@BrodieOnLinux too bad they abandoned the project.

@gianmarcogg03 They didn't just abandon it, they basically pretend it never happened

@BrodieOnLinux even worse.

@BrodieOnLinux honestly what Ubuntu was trying to do was extremely promising, and the fact that it was a solid distro at the time, its a shame what its like now

@10volt @BrodieOnLinux Agreed. It was Unity's design that really sold me on GUI-based Linux. To this day my GNOME installs still have Dash-to-Dock with everything on the left, mimicing Unity.
