With Ubuntu 12.04 just around the corner, I was shocked
to discover that Unity now offers a stable and configurable desktop
experience. Thanks to the HUD (heads up display), more Unity-based
configuration options, support for Sandy Bridge, and improved power
consumption, Ubuntu 12.04 is shaping up to be a really solid
release.On top of all these great features, another great thing about
Ubuntu is that you’re never really stuck with only one desktop
environment. The end user can just as easily install Cinnamon or an
alternative lightweight desktop, should they wish to.
