I have been a long time Ubuntu user, been using it since 2006. I loved it and have been installing it on user's PC until version 11.04 came out with Unity. Before you get a wrong impression let me make it clear that I love to try new things as long as they don't come in between me and my work. I started using Unity since its alpha days and am currently running Ubuntu 12.04 with HUD and KDE 4.8. The reason is simple -- I am curious and love trying new things. I am also running openSUSE with Gnome 3 to stay updated with the latest development.

It has!

It's called Linux Mint. And a hundred other names.

So Silly

Going to post the same thing here that I dropped on the Muktware G+ page:

He complains Unity is too different - yet suggests Gnome 3 is a better choice? Surly LXDE or KDE are better choices for a more "Standard" desktop that users expect!

Plus we already have "official" Ubuntu remixes with these desktops - so what is the issue? Its not like Unity is the only choice Ubuntu offers.

Quoting:...Surly LXDE or KDE are better choices for a more "Standard" desktop that users expect!...
I've read that LXDE isn't as user-friendly as some would like it to be, but this is the first time I've seen it described as "surly."
He didn't want to be accused of calling folk Shirley :)

Leslie Nielson may you R.I.P you always made me laugh.
