Ubuntu Unity desktop

[Rob Dawson]

I made the switch to the Gnome desktop in 17.04 and it was the best 
thing I could have done.  I never felt really comfortable with Unity and 
I find Gnome is much more suited to how I work.  I added the Gnome 
extension "Dash to Dock" and I find it superior to the Unity dock in 
that I can place it in any location (I use the bottom of the screen) and 
I can duplicate it across multiple monitors.  Gnome uses the Window key 
for a similar functionality to the HUD and it's quick and responsive.  
In a nutshell Gnome just feels like it's integrated much better with the 
OS and I don't miss anything about Unity now; in a very short space of 
time I was comfortable with Gnome and have been even happier with it as 
time passes.
