Ubuntu Linux losing popularity fast. New Unity interface to blame? | Royal Pingdom

[Eric Shubert]

I'm using Ubuntu LTS (10.4) on my workstation. That's due to be upgraded 
with 12.4, at which time I'll need to make a decision. I'll evaluate 
that version of Unity, but expect I might be going with GUbuntu, or else 
go back to Fedora. I really don't want to be upgrading my workstation 
every 6 months though.
