What about it bothers you on large screen sizes? I think the integrated menu makes sense on any screen size and the GNOME double title bar looks icky to me in comparison - just a waste of screen space. But maybe I am biased because I am not a heavy mouse/touchpad user.
Unity was definitely one part of their convergence mission but I feel that Unity did convergence better than any other desktop environment (even Windows 10).
I think the dock positioning is a matter of personal choice but it can be positioned on the bottom since the past two Ubuntu releases.
- hendersoon 10y agoYou rarely maximize windows on large screens, so you need to move the mouse much further to reach the menubar. I actually prefer the dock on the left-- I keep it there on MacOS also. That's preference too but it makes sense as most displays are widescreen with much more horizontal than vertical space available.
