Subject: RE: Opinions on Zorin OS (and a side order of Mint)
CAN you get Ubuntu to NOT use that stupid unity interface? (Goodness,
people, this is a desktop computer, NOT a phone!)

I stopped using anything Ubuntu newer than 10.10 as soon as I saw the
disaster that was ALL the window managers that I could find in the time
I had to spend looking (not much).

When I saw mint at work due to a test I was running for a customer, I
switched to it. While I still like the old interface better, at least
its usable (don't like cinnamon, obviously. I'm using Mate)...

Me too, but someone have a pointer to a howto? (since I really don't
have time to spend being an administrator and finding all that out, or
breaking my system while trying to figure it out, really. That's why I
switched to Ubuntu in the first place!)

Thanks!

Rusty
