How can I install the unity-desktop on Red Hat?
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I am using a computer system with the gnome desktop system, with which I am not able to work properly (resizing of windows does not work etc). Therefore I would like to install the unity-desktop.
Is that possible on Redhat (Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation release 6.8 (Santiago))? And if so, how?
A simple yum install unity did not find anything....

yum install cinnamonshould work. I don't know the package names in the RRH world though. Just search through the repos (same should be true for unity, if you choose to install that).

I tried that already, but is says:No package cinnamon available.

Try rpm search engines like rpmfind.net. If that still doesn't help, you might need to install from source. Sorry, but I really don't know much about the RH world, haven't used a RH-based system for more than 10 years.

The EPEL [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux] repository is easily added to RedHat and CentOS servers. It's an excellent, well-vetted source of additional packages not otherwise found in the standard channels. Install the EPEL package and you should be able to do `yum install cinnamon'.

Looks like it's pretty unstable at this moment, so I can suggest you against it anyway.
Did you tried KDE already?
