Ubuntu

After having so many problems and issues using Fedora 15 I switched to Ubuntu 11.04. I have used Ubuntu before but with Gnome I thought the desktop was very simple but also not very configurable. So I have been on Kubuntu for a while before running the live USB version of Fedora. Gnome 3 was nice for a while but I had to use all the tweaks to get something that i could work with.

After reading about unity I thought I'd give it a go. I am impressed with the result. It is a very good desktop. Refined and easy to use but highly cutomisable and just has all those touches that make it easy to use. The bar on the left and the easy search for apps for example. I thought initially it was going to basically be a Gnome 2.x clone but it isn't. It looks like a whole redesign and one of the perks over Gnome 3....

It actually shows you what programs you have open!

I hope it hits off with the community and hope they keep adding new features
