I have been on unity for the past 4 months. eventually it has grown on me, but I admit the first few days were quite hectic getting used to. I still prefer it to Gnome 3. Thanks and regards, Ian On 4 August 2011 12:02, Brian Ngure <brian@mystique.boldlygoingnowhere.org>wrote:

you still can run gnome on ubuntu 11.04, just specify the UI you want to at login (gnome 2 should be installed by default iirc) On Thu, Aug 4, 2011 at 11:43 AM, [ Brainiac ] <arebacollins@gmail.com>wrote:

Christian, I am aware of the Gnome 2 login option. However, I wondered how long it would be there as an option. It could be removed at any time.

I was initially excited about Ubuntu 11.04 when it was released and switched to it from Mint 10, after an hour or two I found Unity hard to get accustomed to (navigation to apps, switching themes, desktop right-click which are things I frequently do on Gnome 2) I agree it has a simple interface but I guess am a die hard fan of Gnome 2.x.x Am glad my favorite disto Mint decided to retain Gnome 2.x.x on release 11, which is what I use now. -- ˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙ Regards, David Njuki @njukey [Google,Twitter,Yahoo]
Classic Gnome 2 UI Preffered. If you think about it, Canonical has been trying to APE apple's OSX UI, adding some variations. You will find over 9000 similarities between Unity and OSX UI. This kind of F*^%'s up any chance of a PURELY UNIQUE LOOK AND FEEL for Ubuntu Linux. Other linux distros were bright to chose gnome 3 shell, a trully unique linux UI experience like no other The only advantage i see for Unity vs Gnome-Shell is that Unity still supports compiz fusion. However none of the above next generation Gnome UIs is as mature as the classic Gnome 2 UI (convinience)
