Dear All
I hope that this does not sound like a big whing but I do not like how
the presentation of the later versions of Ubuntu and Kubuntu are going
I have been using Ubuntu 10.04 with Gnome interface and I find it very
good. Then upgraded to 11.10 and I really don't like Unity at all.
I then switched to Kubuntu 11.10 and the interface while better than
Unity, is still not as good as Ubuntu 10.04
What are my complaints ??
The philosophy that the computer /should be a functional working tool/ -
easy to use, fast in operation and requiring minimal resources. These
ideals seem to be being abandoned and the /'graphic arty types' /are
taking over. Flashy interfaces ( which of course must be /'original'/ )
seem to be the go, causing bloat, slows down operations and demands more
RAM and CPU power.
For my part, I am not at all impressed by fancy interfaces - I want a
machine which is minimal in presentation, quick in operation, easy to
use, in other words /totally utilitarian/ /in design and presentation.
/
The ideal interface in my opinion is that used by Apple; lots of drop
down menus; icons which can be placed on the Desktop if required AND
/the tool bar with the sliding magnifier /- truly brilliant !!
Does any know of a simple window manager like that of Apple's which can
be used to replace Unity - especially the sliding magnifier tool bar
I would be quite happy to stay with 10.04 window manger but that will
be phased out in the future.
Does anyone else out there feel this ?
Hope that this does not put too many noses out of joint.
Cheers
David Bowskill
