I don't blame you if I'd stuck with 10.04LTS I wouldn't have had the grief and flustration and eventual permanent distrohop that resulted.

Hello everyone,

I found a number of annoying flaws with Unity in 11.10 when I installed it before and hope this issues are addressed in 12.04LTS:

I f you want to stick with Ubuntu then 10.0LTS is the best by far. :-)

I too am totally opposed to the switch to unity, my suggestion is try Bodhi Linux 1.2.1 (10.04based with Enlightenment UI) or Linux Mint (Ubuntu based but also opposed to unity UI). Don't let...

I am like yourself I liked 10.04LTS but later versions have forced me to return to Win7 as I don't like the new UI's.

A friend suggested Bodhi Linux 1.2.1 (10.04Based) and I now dual boot with...

To have better stability and the bugs in Unity and Gnome Shell ironed out failing that a Gnome 3.0 powered "Gnome 2.0 look a like UI" has its default.

I would suggest Bodhi Linux (Ubuntu based) It uses a minimal install and Enlightenment as a User interface, I personally am very impressed by it.

Regarding sanderj,

The hope things would improve sadly they have got much worse, hence the distro-hop, i've already stated I too once loved Ubuntu (10.04) but these recent versions are just sad.

Hiya BillyBoa,

Problem 1: Granted thats an issue Win7 boots slower than Ubuntu

Problem 2: I also used to like to tweak Ubuntu but since 10.04 its impossible without breaking half the system...

Thanks for your comments 3Miro, I have indeed tried Xfce, gnome, Gnome-shell, unity, Kubuntu, Linux Mint amongst others. Ubuntu pre 10.04 "Just Worked" for me and I had no complaints, after that the...

Thanks OrangeCrate hope you enjoy your linux ride too :-)

I am going to test dualbooting Win7 and Bodhi Linux 1.2.1, Bodhi seems a nice alternative to Ubuntu's madness for me. :-)

The Unity insistance and its problems have driven me back to Windows7 alongside other ex-Ubuntu users I know, this is down to flustation of Canonical pushing of "Unity" and blaming its users for its...

It is with regret i post this thread but I am sick on the Gnome 3 / Unity farce now, so much so I have returned to Windows 7.

I will agree with you on this not found it is down to opinion and what Linux personally means to an individual.
