unity is cancer. I loved it when it was just maximus for better screen state on netbooks and a few dashboards... but now, that's a travesty.

it's so wrong that they are adding feature and features to try to 'fix' it. tabs in the bottom, filters on the right... it will became a full window manager on the dashboard soon. just kill it.

i'm happy back to good old debian.

Oddly enough that is what I have done as well. Squeeze is nice and stable with backports for Firefox/Iceweasel and LibreOffice and Gnome.

Then I started fiddling with dwm as a window manager and dmenu as application menu and have not looked back...

i went back to ion3. i missed it and didn't know :)

i'm impressed how much debian and ubuntu are the same after you install the non-free firmware package.

now i'm wondering if ubuntu is giving a lot back to debian or just doing minimal changes. but i promised myself to stay out of distro politics a long time ago
