What's wrong with sticking to an older version of Ubuntu - 11.04 or earlier where you're not forced to use Unity? That's what I do. And I get a lot more work done without having to worry with the latest shiny new toys in town.
- pekk 15y agoWhat's wrong with installing xfce? It's only an apt-get away.
- SlipperySlope 15y agoBut I've grown use to Gnome apps and applets. I especially like the multi-tabbed terminal.
- mbq 15y agoXFCE's terminal can do it too. And you can use Gnome applets.
- SlipperySlope 15y agoThanks! Good to know. I've used xfce some years ago.
- pyre 15y agoYou can use gnome-terminal within XFCE just the same as I can use xfce4-terminal from within GNOME.
- metachris 15y agoWhat's wrong with selecting "Gnome" as a desktop rather than Unity when logging in? It's literally 2 clicks to change.
- SlipperySlope 15y agoHave you tried Ubuntu 11.10? Where are those 2 clicks?
- clark-kent 15y agoThe 2 clicks is the tools icon right next to Username on the login screen.
- keithpeter 15y agoMy fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10 has exactly two entries in that menu... Unity Unity 2d You can install other desktop packages from the repositories of course.
- gcp 15y ago...and you get something entirely broken! Really, have you tried your own advice?
- mixmastamyk 15y agoSounds good but it will lose support in a year or so. And you cant forget about new apps without difficulty.
