Really happy to see I'm not the only one using Ubuntu on a MacBook air! If anyone is looking for the most customizable Ubuntu desktop (and my favorite window manager since 2010), I highly recommend compiz! > sudo apt-get install gnome-session-flashback compiz compiz-core compiz-plugins compiz-plugins-default compiz-plugins-extra compiz-plugins-main compiz-plugins-main-default compiz-plugins-main-dev compizconfig-settings-manager You'll log out of GNOME, click the settings cog, and select Flashback-Compiz. Then you'll see a wonderfully clean desktop, and then you can go into Applications -> Administration -> Compiz Config Settings, and you'll have complete and total control over your desktop! This video is kind of gaudy but it might help explain what's possible: https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=Jb7kFWTj28g https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=Jb7kFWTj28g MINUS the horrible sidebar, that will be replaced with an upper toolbar similar to Mac. I actually have a proper write-up for how to get the Ubuntu Desktop you deserve using compiz, but it's very much a WIP unfortunately.
