Ubuntu 11.10 Unity

[venturasurf]

Thats what we use to get crap done!

I am NOT a fan of GUIs. Sure they are pretty, but not efficient!

I do all my coding in vi.

Long live the command line!

And long live EMACS!

Been giving Unity a chance on my home machine, but running older Ubuntu still on my company laptop and my netbook. So far Unity feels way too restrictive and not intuitive at all.

I had to google how to even load a 2nd instance of the command prompt (just right click for anyone who hasn't figured it out), but having to do that at all is just an example of how not intuitive it is.

Also, vim ftw!

Hate the new unity BS. Did they seriously remove the Standard desktop option? I have updated my netbook's OS in a while, that's the only one I run linux on currently.

+1 for vi

I have never directed so much foul language toward my screen as the day I installed Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) on my Thinkpad.

Love it. (Emphasis mine):

Unity looks like a candy-coated turd
