I hate Unity too...<br>
And/or the M$-like bloated KDE. <br>
Because my long hated (and mostly reliable) Linux Mint went out of support, I decided to go with what I hate the least: Xubuntu. <br>
But I could not burn the DVD, so I installed it on VirtualBox, transferred the system to my real box, fixed up the MBR and booted my shinny new Xubuntu.<br>

And now everything works!<br>
But I am hard headed and now I am facing years (I installed LTS) of hating MINT!!!! <br>
Grrrrrrrrr... <br>
3 wasted days later, and with a fully functional system that I hate, I am seriously considering to end it all and hang myself from a pumpkin tree...<br>
