Ubuntu Studio Doesn't Like Unity Or GNOME Shell

[korpenkraxar]

AWN eh?

FYI Avant Window Navigator works well in Gnome Shell...

If you prefer Gnome2 then I think there is some irony in that statement.

What irony?
I prefer the Gnome 2 UI.
Since its outdated, I don't use it anymore.

no he switch to KDE... ...

Ah, the original poster had reverted to Gnome "Classic," got confused.

I don't like staying on outdated software.

10.04 is supported on the Desktop until 2013. I'm running FF4 form a PPA. If you don't like Unity it's easier to stay on 10.04, IMHO.

You have just answered yourself.

use PPAs, etc, etc,...

Unity is horrible to use, after upgrading to 11.04 I quickly switched my default UI to Ubuntu classic.

I don't understand change for change sake, the UI in GNOME 2.0 isn't that bad, I haven't tried GNOME 3.0 yet, I hope its not worse too.

It is worse, because gnome3 g-shell doesn't work with compiz and instead replaces it.
That gives both disadvantages (stability) of running 3D apps, and no advantages of beautiful and usable compiz interface.

And before you say that 'beautiful' is 'eye candy', I'll tell you. that 'eye candy' sells.
Until ubuntu devs grok that, no users will switch to it.

Look how much money vendors put to make their devices look nice and pretty.

I don't ether

The point is that classic interface is going to be crippled and removed this way or another.
For example in 11.11, ubuntu switches to gnome3.
Now the classic gnome-panel I think was ported to GTK3, but it does miss some feature, and it is more g-shell like.

And I don't like to use interface that is in this state.
So I use kubuntu now, and enjoy best of both worlds (I kept using many GTK apps, they look just fine in KDE).
