| May 19, 2014 at 14:06 | comment | added | Andrew M | I thought Unity was Gnome (just a veneer on top)? I'm on unity and a lot of the other tests suggested on this question show up as Gnome (eg "ls /usr/bin/*session*" and the ps | grep style ones). I'll read up a bit as it's interesting. | |
| May 15, 2014 at 17:15 | comment | added | Bobby | @AndrewM: What realationship do you mean? That they both are using Gtk3? Or the love/hate between them? By the way, no worries about downvotes on my posts, downvotes are not negative in my opinion. | |
| May 15, 2014 at 14:05 | comment | added | Andrew M | great edit - downvote reversed. Is it worth explaining the relationship between Unity and Gnome? | |
