I really can't stand Unity. Does this work OK with Cinnamon, for example?

It has really come a long way, you may try it now. I was also in the league of people couldn't stand for Unity when it launched, but now I'm using it for couple of weeks now, its been very pleasant.

The thing is, I need my taskbar: one click to change to another window, and I usually have several browser windows opened (each with several tabs) and hate having to right-click the application icon to choose the window. That's why on Windows I have the classic taskbar (never grouping windows) and on Mac OS... I just keep hating the dock.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yes, and there is a full set of instructions on how to get it looking just like gnome2.x http://askubuntu.com/q/58172/6005

Nice! Thanks for posting. I would totally switch to Unity if it were more customizable (a lá the GNOME's panels).

You're welcome! It will be customizable, but not to the extent of the GNOME panels. Part of the other problem is that it's still new, so developers don't want to build a lot of stuff with it.

Xubuntu seems to be out now: http://torrent.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/precise/release/d...

I've been teaching the beta for a while now, I like it. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS comes with new vagrant, puppet and arduino 1.0. And with Xubuntu, you can use a traditional desktop. Some of my experiences teaching with the beta http://terokarvinen.com/2012/xubuntu-12-04-lts-on-vappu

Ok, I've just tried my 12.04 / Unity laptop with my 22" monitor. The thing is, I have my laptop on the left, and 22" on the right. So I want to set the Unity launcher to the right hand side of my main screen, the 22" display, so that it doesn't get in the way of scrolling to the laptop's screen. Sounds simple right? Switching the launcher from left to right? Wrong. http://askubuntu.com/questions/123552/unity-launcher…

What machine (and config) are you using?

I'm here to collect my OSS karma as I contributed a couple of the wallpapers to this one.

Which ones? Links please.
