I have the latest buntu with cinnamon (just install from a ppa). It's nice. At work I do kubuntu. Also quite nice.

Sweet. I always liked Ubuntu, so I'll continue sticking with it.

I realized that I had been holding back from upgrading for too long, still on 11.10 or whatever it was. It wasn't just a whim, I had a full working stack of software that I was using for work daily, so I was unwilling to mess with it.

But I realized that even though Unity is kind of a disaster (at least in my view), Ubuntu as an umbrella project has just as much vitality as ever. Kubuntu gives you a KDE desktop that is waaaaaay better than the early KDE4 releases. The only wrinkle there is you have to configure a lot of stuff to get it working your way.

Whereas running cinnamon brings you closer to the end result of the big integration effort that Ubuntu keeps doing, like really nice default fonts and generally a good experience. The only real problem is Unity itself.

Excellent man! Thank you. I was worried that Winzip had a monopoly on file zipping.

OK, I'm hating Ubuntu with its Mac-ish menu bar and taskbar buttons. Where can I get a window manager that works like Windows?

Can I install Gnome again? Or Cinnamon?

 

[Lapa]

Is V still alive?

 

[Martin]

Sure you can.

 

[enzo]

Can I install Gnome again? Or Cinnamon?

Sure. Have you removed it at all?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Sure you can.

I tried installing Cinnamon through PPS last night, but it didn't work for some reason. :S

Ahhh, "for some reason". The most famous of all errors

Nope. How do I do that?

I realized I added an old repo. Added a new one and seems to be downloading.

Then let's see what happens. You will either end up with some libs you do not need, or they will get upgraded perfeclty fine anyway.

Ubuntu just announced their OS for phones. Looks like they are going to nail it.
