    I tried raw Gnome and hated it. Ubuntu’s changes made it actually usable. At the same time, I don’t really like all those DEs that just mimic XP.

      Interesting. I love Vanilla Gnome over Ubuntu’s version. What do you prefer from Ubuntu that I might have overlooked?

        The dock/taskbar. Gnome’s default one being hidden in a menu was unpleasant. I did try the dash-to-dock and dash-to-panel extensions, but I preferred Ubuntu’s implementation.

          Ah, OK, it’s a personal preference thing. Personally, that’s one of the things I like over the Ubuntu one.

          I am using a laptop, very limited screen real estate. I wonder if that makes a difference.
