I'm writing from GMail in a web browser. I hate using a web browser for email, and have been using KMail for over 10 years. I love KMail. So somewhere after midnight I got the upgrade notification thing from my running Kubuntu 10.04 LTS that 12.04.1 was available. Interesting. That's the first

Michael, I feel your pain with respect to GNOME. It is hideous, awful, disgusting, and all that stuff. I always preferred GNOME to KDE, but now they are both on the same level of awfulness. Thankfully, though, they are not the only solutions. If you like Ubuntu, there is a distro that is based

Ditto re. Gnome 3. I avoided upgrading several Fedora 14 installations until Fedora 17 in order to avoid it. I have resolved things by moving to XFCE, to which it was easy to adapt and with which I am now perfectly comfortable. The broken stuff is frustrating but there are usually work-arounds and

Like the others, I offer my sympathy for what little it's worth. I've tried a variety of distros form Mandrake, to Slackware and derivatives, but always seem to come back to Debian. I now have a two text files, one with step-by-step instructions on a cold install to my preferred 'office' setup, an

+1 for XFCE. If you feel more strongly about your distro than your DE, the distro's default DE is the way to go. Unity on Ubuntu is a lot better than it used to be. (I hated the first release, but I now prefer it over Gnome.) If you feel more strongly about your DE, then it works best to find a

Let's not turn this into a "trashing GNOME" board; there are plenty of those out there already. BUT ... The thing that I hated the most was that the old GNOME stayed out of the way and let me do what I needed to do. The new GNOME made me work the way it wanted me to work. Amazingly, if I ha

Sorry to hear your upgrade didn't go well, Michael. I've had a few things break over the years during upgrades, but nothing so completely trashed as what it seems you experienced. I'm currently using the latest Kubuntu 12.04, and I have to say I'm quite spoiled by KDE. Among other things, I'm lo
