Re: is anyone here using the new ubuntu, 11.10?

I dislike Unity enough I make check out Mint....

I've been Ubuntu-only for most of 5 years now, but Unity may just put an
end to that.

Unity buries all the things I use a lot too deep to bothered with. I do not
like it. But it won't go away. I tried changing to Gnome and the lock
screen stopped working and I wasn't able to login without powering the PC
off. That wasn't going to carry on...

Looks like someone at Ubuntu wants to *enforce* Unity.

F*ck that...
