Ubuntu Unity. Never before has there been a user interface to bring about such polar opinions. Users either love it or hate it—there’s very little middle ground. One of the reasons so many lay claim to their dislike of Unity is the lack of configuration options.
If you compare Unity to the likes of Xfce, you will certainly find that Unity does, in fact, lack a certain amount of available options. However, that does not mean the shell is locked down such that it cannot be configured. In fact, you’ll be surprised at just how much you can do with Unity. That is my goal here, to introduce you to some Unity tweaks you can easily manage in order to make the default Ubuntu desktop work perfectly for you.
