I'm not a massive nerd like the H&S section of FP is but from what I can tell - you're getting mad over functionality?
cry me a fucking river
i uninstalled ubuntu a long time ago (mainly because the sound didn't work at all) but i'm excited to see how this works out
I dunno why people get angry when Canocial make these crappy decisions. I didn't like Unity, and Installed Arch, simple as. If people really still wanted Ubuntu they could just use a different DE.
People fear change...simple as that. I mean...really...all desktops have remained nearly the same since one of their first iterations. Not because it was the best, but because it was familiar.
I may actually start using Ubuntu again.
It's absolutely fantastic that there's a simplified, "dumbed down" (as most of you would say) version of Linux that the average computer user can manage to use. For the less technically oriented, it brings Linux from being the scary domain of the more technically experienced to something they can use. Ubuntu has always been this version.
There are literally thousands of Linux distros, if this isn't your type, why not find something you prefer? It's all about choice.
Make it optional and I'm all for it.
[QUOTE=garry;34393452]Yeah they should get rid of the whole GUI and just go back to command line. That's what linux fans REALLY want.. RIGHT? They don't want a nice version of Linux that anyone can pick up an use - they want it to only be usable by 1% of the population.[/QUOTE]
I'm not really mad over GUI improvements, it's just that it feels more restrictive than Explorer, which, hilariously enough, is my baseline as a 'good GUI'.
There's a time and a place for both command lines and visual interfaces. Coding in a command line editor is hell inside a computer, and similarly stuff like file management is a lot easier if you're dragging stuff around. I use the terminal nearly exclusively for debugging and compiling C code.
This... actually makes a lot of sense. For the action menu's that is.

Actually, I tend to find file management (under Linux/Unix-like systems) a helluva lot easier in the CLI rather than a GUI...
