Well, I like unity, but I still think it good to add some classic elements. I think we at least need a classic menu, and some panels. Unity has a great launcher, which reduces my clicks a lot. The lens just mix everything together, and can be a great problem when I have plenty of music and appli

There seems to be a 50/50 tide up about Unity and Classic. ¿Wouldn't it be possible split the issues among both? Let's say, april releases with classic menu and october releases with unity? Otherwise, Ubuntu is going to loose half of it's users.(I among them). Carlos Havel-- Ubunt

Putting different desktop environments in different releases is really a good idea, but we can do a lot better than that. These two DEs are just some packages, and obviously we can support them both. We can have different editions sharing most applications, one with unity, the other one with G2,

Thanksfor your advises. I have been following ubuntu since 10.04 from every beta 1, and have seem most changes taking place in unity. The idea is great. Maybe I should get used to searching... And how linux works. I still think we should pick different default wallpapers for different DEs though

Hi Carlos, I'm not sure about it. I know there are so many users prefering the old gnome style. I think the best option would be a simple way to config which interface the users prefers, like on 11.04 version. So the user could choice between Unity, Gnome3 or Gnome-Fallback (Classic) But it thin

Carlos, Well, there IS a "Filter Results" dropdown that brings up the application categories. It works, but this method takes a few more mouse clicks than I would like. I posited another idea in a different thread to just add the classic menu functionality into the Dash button as a right-click eve

This isn't a bad idea either. At least having the filters already onscreen would make things a little more usable. I would wager a lot of people don't readily correlate the phrase "Filter Results" with "Application Categories", or just don't see the dropdown. Further on this topic, instead of a ri
