Ctrl-Alt-T will open the regular terminal on most Ubuntu desktop distros. As for >=12.04, the less said the better. Everyone wants to morph their desktop into a mobile nowadays... Sheesh.
With Ubuntus >= 12.04 you can specify a "normal", traditional startup - instead of the hideous "Unity" - at the login screen. If you *must* use Unity, then you can still get to all your regular programs. I did it once, so I know. Forgot how though... LOL You go to Program Launcher and then choose the "Show All Installed" tab, or something like that, and they all appear.. in alphabetical order (sigh). Might be OK on tablets, I suppose, but I can't comment on that. Gnome 3.0 ops in Nautilus are painfully slow. Something wrong there. Other than that it's OK, more or less, and J701(gtk) works fine. I don't know if you're using a 64-bit Linux, but I found major problems on the using J's OpenGL. I'd appreciate it if you let me know how yours works. 32-bit Ubuntu installations seem OK with OpenGL, unless running on a 64-bit machine.
