Re: is Ubuntu 13.04 going to be any better?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi guys, I have Ubuntu 13.04 installed on my laptop. At the moment, what is the recommended interface? If Gnome is the interface of choice, how do I migrate to Gnome from Unity?

Re: is Ubuntu 13.04 going to be any better?
Well, I think Ubuntu 13.04 is going to be released at least by this month end. So may be they might fix more bugs along the way. Perhaps waiting for a month more might help the cause. Happy hacking.

The beta install was about the same as all other previous accessible installs in that it's mostly all functional, but there are a few rough edges that I wish had been banished already (my wireless driver is proprietary, so every time I install on my laptop I have to connect via ethernet so my timezone gets set automatically.) Unity accessibility is maybe a bit better than 12.10. I used to experience some odd alt-tab behavior that is now mostly gone. The menu along the left side also seems a smidge more accessible and provides spoken feedback more often than not. I don't use GNOME so can't speak to any of those questions.

I'm just a little concerned that the GNOME edition is still running GNOME 3.6 + Orca 3.8, whereas Ubuntu 13.04 should be running GNOME 3.8 in its entirety.

Ah, so they have not finalized the release date is it? I haven't been to Ubuntu home page off late so not really aware. Happy hacking. Krishnakant.
