Because of bugs in Mint 13 MATE 64-bit, I plan on installing Ubuntu 12.04 Gnome on my computer.
Is there a way I could make Ubuntu 12.04 look like Mint 13/Maya?
No, I'm not talking about the desktop theme or desktop wallpaper. I'm talking about getting rid of the big fat squares on the left sidebar, getting rid of the tablet/touchscreen interface, and going back to a for-keyboard-and-mouse-input environment that Mint focuses on.
Some things that I would like to have if I switch to Ubuntu 12.04:
1. A Sofware Update manager like Mint's. Designed to prevent inexperienced users from installing updates that are unnecessary or require a certain level of knowledge to configure properly. It assigns updates a safety-level (from 1 to 5), based on the stability and necessity of the update. Updates can be set to notify users (as is normal), be listed but not notify, or be hidden by default. In addition to including updates specifically for the Linux Mint distribution, the development team tests all package-wide updates.
2. An environment focused on keyboard and mouse.
Thanks.
