[10:35] <snadge> is there something i can read about any specific development that's being done to ease transition for ex unity users?
[11:40] <jbicha> snadge: maybe it's not exactly what you're looking for but I recommend checking out the desktop updates at https://insights.ubuntu.com/
[11:40] <jbicha> you could also subscribe to the ubuntu-desktop mailing list if you like
[12:09] <snadge> i found an article on omgubuntu that seemed to answer at least in a rough way, the way things seem to be going
[12:10] <snadge> 17.10 will have unity 7, and gnome without any significant customisation.. maybe a few tweaks but not all of the functionality that unity has
[12:13] <jbicha> GNOME won't be quite the same as what you get on other distros (at least a different theme and some different default app choices)
[12:13] <jbicha> but it won't be a full copy of Unity either
