I recommend disabling some of the Amazon integration in Unity if you're concerned about your privacy. This shouldn't be too difficult, even if you're new to Linux. I 'd also suggest getting Unity-tweak-tool and playing around with some of the settings in there.
EDIT: Just realized that since 16.04, Ubuntu no longer has online search results enabled by default in the Dash. Still though, play around with some of the settings!
- 0xmohit 10y agoOne doesn't really need Unity, does one? Openbox is awesome. It doesn't hog system resources either.
- Sylos 10y agoYeah, but Openbox isn't suitable for new users, at least not on its own. As part of something like LXDE or LXQt, it's definitely workable, but without a deeper understanding of Openbox, those are pretty much as good as any other Desktop Environment (except maybe that LXDE/LXQt are also among the lightest DEs around). I would rather recommend either Ubuntu GNOME, if you want a rather unconvential, but highly integrated, highly user-friendly interface, or Linux Mint Cinnamon, if you want a cleaned up Windows-like interface, or Kubuntu, if you want a Windows-like interface which just smothers you in options, tweaks and customizability.
