Switching to Linux Mint 11
After some time using Ubuntu where possible, I think I’m giving up on it until they get the whole Unity desktop straightened out. It’s not intuitive, it’s not as “fun” to use, and I think it’s time for a swap.
Linux Mint 11, based on Ubuntu, gives me back that whole Gnome 2 feel that Ubuntu did prior to Unity. Here’s a comparison between the two (Mint 11 vs Ubuntu 11.04) and there are many other posts about the differences and similarities out there.
If you’re not too thrilled with the Unity desktop, but still like Ubuntu, check out the latest Mint here, and see what you think.
