Is Unity also a shell for GNOME? It's a bit confusing... :)

That is because so many here erroneously use the phrase "Gnome 3" to refer to the "Gnome 3 Shell". Unity, Gnome 3 Shell, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu all sit on top of Gnome 3. Several other distros dirivative of Ubuntu also, obviously, use Gnome 3 (not the Shell). Also, Mint has two Debian based distros that use Gnome 3, but use XFCE or Cinnamon for the desktop. SolusOS currently ships Gnome 2 and has begun development on a Gnome2 exact lookalike, but sitting on top of Gnome 3.





KDE isn't built off GNOME 3. GNOME 3 has nothing to do with KDE, XFCE, or LXDE.
