how easy is it to switch user on the desktop with Gnome? it's rather easy with Unity now in my 16.04 system. i usually have 12 users logged in a switch around among them for better isolation. one user is dedicated to viewing videos on youtube. one each is dedicated for my 3 AWS accounts. one is dedicated to linkedin (they often try to get info about my email contactcs). one is dedicated to slashot. a few do separate email and development.

i want to keep all this going when i switch to Gnome. if i can create a button for each user that switches to that user when clicked, that would be even better.

does anyone know this kind of stuff about Gnome?

Download the daily iso file of Artful Aardvark (to be released as 17.10), make a test installation and try it out,

I have not counted clicks to compare, but the Ubuntu implementation of the Gnome desktop does not look too different from Unity. You find the logout/switch-user stuff in the top right corner. Select the line with the current user id ...
