I can relate to it in many ways. I've tried to get involved in developing Ubuntu, but nobody has reached out. 11.10 is so bad on my machine I reverted to 10.04. I never liked Unity, it's silly and implies heavy use of the mouse. I want to use the keyboard to navigate everything. And I like firefox too. Just my thoughts on this matter; I don't intend to start a war but a thoughtful discussion if anything. Alexander </blockquote> You should ask more questions. The thing I like the most about Unity, is how efficient it is to use without a mouse. I nearly only use the mouse for web these days. There are keyboard shortcuts for nearly everything. There are a few I would've wanted, such as using alt+num to choose between workspaces in the switcher, and between windows in super+w instead of using arrow keys, but since there are other keyboard shortcuts available, such as alt+ctrl+arrows, and shift-alt+ctrl+arrows to move windows between workspaces, it's not very annoying. I would advise you to look for answers the next time you get frustrated by something, instead of just reinstalling the operating system, which is a fairly radical choice.

Thanks for the advice. I enjoy hearing diverse opinions; for example I prefer the keyboard but you prefer the mouse! I like that. -- Alexander
