Gentlemen:
As my 3-year build-cycle approaches its end I am looking 6-12 months for'ard at building out in Ivy-Bridge or Bulldozer HW. Currently my two Ubuntu boxes have stabilized in x64-10.04 LTS ... the new box will be looking at the next LTS varient.
What plans has Canonical made for a UI other than the iphone-type Unity? My latest AMD_quad build uses an NV_9800gtx+ and 27.5" monitor; it should be able to deal with a computationally and visually **very demanding** UI ...but sadly the specially effects all called down system killing **hidden agenda** issues beyond my expertise and patience. I run a plain-vanilla GNOME-2.
Really ... in my coming build with say 50% more CPU, a ~30" monitor and twice-times the vid-card push I can reasonably expect woop-de-doo eye-candy and usr-plush from my UI. It should be **unbelievable** as the kids say. Where is Canonical on that YBroad-to-OZ ?
