Well I'm running kubuntu so it won't affect me. But I still don't like this change.

How's Kubuntu treating you these days?

It's not so bad. Still don't like konqueror very much (file browser part).

But I realize that as konq got slower and more annoying I started using the shell more for the same kinds of things.

Is there anything that's more attention seeking than marketing? Incidentally, Apple's single strongest competency?

good thought

I just like it that way, btw. It's like having someone who always defend you against "what they call a common enemy" and right away can be stabbed in the back just for being themselves

I think the best job that Apple did is deluding their boys.

Another reason putting the buttons on the left-hand side is stupid is because the File, Edit etc menus are there, and a slip of the mouse could have you accidentally closing the window instead of accessing the menu.

Here's a relatively simple fix for changing the order of the buttons back: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/13535/move-window-buttons-back-to-the-right-in-ubuntu-10.04/

$ osdetect
Platform: Linux 2.6.32-22-generic i686 ~ Ubuntu 10.04 lucid

(osdetect here)

First impressions:
- desktop looks almost entirely unchanged, which means nothing stopped working: GOOD
- fonts look sharper
- firefox more responsive/quicker
- konqueror (file manager) equally sluggish

EDIT: firefox A LOT more responsive (3.6.3)

What happened to Dolphin?

Should I go Kubuntu this time?

 

[JCK]

There are no shoulds when it comes to Linux.

I'm a KDE man through and through. Normally prefer to install Ubuntu first then slap KDE on top, but this time around, I did a Kubuntu install. Right from the beta. Been apt-upgrading since, and I'm loving it...

still there, I don't use it

You are right. Ubuntu and Linux Mint - Check. Time for some Kubuntu over the weekend...

You forgot to mention the boot-up and shutdown times... 10 seconds for boot, 3 seconds from shutdown command to silent fan

Though you probably never shut down and all, I know I know

Yeah, I don't notice boot times very much because I use suspend instead of turning it off.
