Its a little late, bur awesomewm

grub is an easy fix too

Once you switch to a tiling wm, you can never go back.

Free floating windows feel obsolete and an obstruction after that.

Ya I don't really like how thick they are either, and I also don't like that the taskbar at the top curves downward at the end. In terms of out-of-the-box functionality it's amazing though. I'll get around to fixing the quirks some day, but for now I am too lazy and just looking past them lol.

I'm back on Ubuntu 16.04 MATE now, for some reason I just like MATE. Even thought XFCE is meant to be the better choice. Provided you add the advanced MATE menu icon in the topbar, it seems pretty good and clean to me.

I'm waiting for OBS to get going on Linux. It's supposed to be ready very soon.

If you are using Ubuntu, it's in the software center. If you are using a derivative, you can add the repo and apt get it.

I've never thought GNOME 3 was ugly to look at, but I do find its' default configuration as ugly to use as Unity or Windows 8.x.

I believe you can change a lot of that up, but I don't have the time or the inclination to mess with my desktop to that extent any more. If I can't fix it in the Tweak Tool then it's too difficult, and probably means my configuration will be too different for various features of some apps to work as intended.

OTOH, Pantheon exists, works in a GNOME 3 way (more so than Cinnamon, I think, though that is a good alternative which I'm confident will catch up) and that's perfectly usable as is. I'll stick with that. (I don't mind Mac-isms in key labelling XD)

If Pantheon did not exist, I would probably be using GNOME 3 as my primary DE. I've loved MATE, but it's time to let it go, I've hated Plasma and Unity, but now I don't have to use either of those to not be stuck in the dark ages. GNOME 3 is stable and works and alternate DEs or configs are a reality.

Of course, if I want to remote desktop via X (not VNC or such) then even MATE is too new, so I'll put xfce (or lxde) on those, and they're great for micro systems like Rasberry Pi and such too.

ubuntu gnome is one of my favorite operating systems its a shame the software isn't there like the adobe suite and drivers for mixing desks

I have tried gnome again, with the configuration mentioned on this site. funny I can't find that reply anymore here...
I like how it looks and I like how it feels, but I don't know why, I always return back to unity... And I am a bit shame of that. I don't want to like unity, and I would like to like gnome a bit more... but unity does seem better for me :(

Can't wait for a video on this.

It is not how it looks. It looks lovely. It is the navigation that drives me mad.

I can't complain because I only use it for casual use on my laptop. I did briefly run KDE and I like it a lot too. I'd probably run KDE if it were my main rig...

@Logan

So you have OpenSuse + Gnome Desktop?

I would have been happier if the images were named Ubuntu, Ubun2, and Ubuntoo

I just use the Unity that comes with ubuntu and like it.........................................
