I think the stupid decision was to stick with in interface you hate instead of going for an alternative distro that uses GNOME for a desktop environment, but I'm glad it panned out for you in the end.
- Kenji 10y agoI think the stupid decision was to assume that I do something that I do not do and then respond to me based on that assumption. First of all, I am a Windows user 95% of the time. But when I wanna spin up a VM or Linux distro real quick, Ubuntu is my choice. Of course, if I use it longer, I will install KDE or something like that. But with lots of window managers, I noticed instabilities or redundancies (e.g. there's a Unity and a GNOME service running for the same thing). It's best to use a distro with the window manager it comes with. Which was Unity on Ubuntu, but will finally be GNOME again.
