Honestly, I didn't think I'd get to like search-based launching with a recent list, but I love the hell out of it. I'm using Synapse and never want to go back to organizing my Main Menu again. Might need to change my sig, even. = D

I know I shouldn't use tildes for decoration, but they always make me feel at home~
yah the stupid (spoken purely out of frustration) search doesn't work altogether awesomely. For example, I like the game Armagetron but forgot what it was called so I search for "tron" got nothing... Still not ready to say bag the whole thing just yet though... As long as they don't get rid of that numlockx thingy... That would just hack me off!
Hehe, I do not want to buy an Apple product
They make some cool products, but I do not like the idea of Steve Jobs deciding what I can and cannot do.
I gave Unity a test run for a few days, and decided against it.
Then I downloaded the OpenSuse Gnome3 cd, and I slowly began to like the new Gnome Shell more and more.
It has an overview of the installed programs, kinda like a menu.
It even feels like a finished product, where Unity showed some flaws on my setup.
Next step is to install Natty, and try to install Gnome 3 on it.
Could someone explain how,
1, click + Applications
2, click "search"
3, type in name (or part thereof)
4, Find what you want in the results and click
is a step forward over,
1, click the terminal icon
2 type in name and 'enter'
or
1, click "Applications"
2, 'mouse over' until you have what you want
3, click
And as far as the "Application Area" (whatever it is called) where everything is displayed and you have to search through ALL of the programs, that belongs on tablets where there are no other options.
I have a 6 core 2.8gig machine with 4gig ddr3 1600 ram and a 22" wide screen, why should I use it like my 10" tablet, I am not threatening to go to another distro and I am trying to configure Unity so that I can "just use it" but XFCE is starting to look better and better.
Meanwhile I am sticking with 10.10 for my main OS
Cheers David

Exactly!
All the other stuff is fine, but let us have a simple menu back...!
How hard can it be?
Sort of like upgrading to bash - only with a GUICould someone explain how,
1, click + Applications
2, click "search"
3, type in name (or part thereof)

2 type in name and 'enter'
It would take a few pages to list the various parts of Unity that I found irritating during the 2 weeks I used it . I upgraded to 10.04 LTS .
I will see if the Ubuntu Devs listen to the many issues that people are having and do something about it or if they just say this is how it is try another DE ( as many fanboys on this forum have done ) .

Ubuntu forum members said "If I am unhappy with Unity there are many other options " True - I changed to another Distro - problem solved !
I found I need neither Unity nor Ubuntu !
Click on the grey magnifying glass icon on the launcher and there you are.

Ah I missed the part where the os knows what program I want, oh you mean you have the search entry box open, that only means its three steps instead of the four I stated
Besides why should I have to use the keyboard on a graphical interface of the future, or are we headed back to the days of Windows 3.1. (remember, DOS with windows)
Personally I think that they are making the desktop OS's look and act like the tablets so that they all work alike.

Unity = binary turd
