RE: Computing memories: Being on the cutting edge of technology
Yeah, I really hated Unity too but I think they dropped it several years ago and went back to Gnome as the default desktop environment. But the workaround for me was simple. Install Xubuntu instead of Ubuntu (for the XFCE desktop environment). It's not any harder to use than Mint. I think Unity was trying to be Windows 8 and nobody liked Windows 8 to begin with. I guess Xubuntu and Mint are my current favorites...
Thanks for the information. I think the reason I don't mess with it for now is because I would need a dual boot environment and I am afraid to try that on my one and only computer. When I do get a new PC I will not be buying a $2000 one and I think Linux would be perfect for that. Not dual boot, just a one and only OS. Glad to hear that Unity got bas boot. It needed to because I don't recall anyone really liking it.
