Re: Ubuntu Unity / Gnome is a dumbed-down disaster.
I don't like Ubuntu because they mimic Windows 8/10 too much (with some old OSX thrown in too).
Stop hiding everything behind meaningless gloss.
Ubuntu jumped on the touchscreen bandwagon a long time ago now, but does anyone actually use it for that -and is it even any good for that purpose?
Are hierarchical menus really that frightening to people? Never seemed so in the Win 95 days.
Sure, it can all be configured, if one can be bothered. But why install all that bloat if you don't want it?
I don't see Ubuntu as being very innovative (GUI-wise), just following trends. But Canonical has done a service to Linux regarding hardware compatibility and ease of installation.
