“Long time Ubuntu users have been complaining loudly about
Unity’s lack of stability, limited options and an overall
unfinished feel. Distros that have watched Ubuntu gobbling up the
Linux mind-share are suddenly getting a second look by unhappy
Ubuntu users seeking alternatives to Unity.Ubuntu started life as a simplified Debian with an emphasis on
desktop usability. Recent Ubuntu releases seem focused on blazing
their own trail toward a touchscreen, cloud enabled, widget driven
environment. This may prove to be a very forward thinking plan, but
it leaves traditional Gnome users hungering for their familiar
desktop environment.
