I’ve been trying many of the Ubuntu Flavors with the latest 20.04/20.1 and Unity feels a lot lighter and responsive on my late 2013 MacBook Pro 13” 8gbRAM.

Mate was also pretty great (amazing improvements to the GUI (for another topic)) but Unity thus far feels the most responsive from Gnome, Budgie, and even Xubuntu (crazy talk I know). Maybe it’s something to do with it being a MacBookPro.

I’ll try and run some benchmarks and report back so it’s less subjective.
