After six months, I'm finally sick of the Unity Toolbar

[Douglas Saylor]

I'm tired of the Unity toolbar. I gave it six months. In fact I liked
the Unity toolbar at 1st. The IDEA was sound. I thought some issues
would be addressed in 11.10 & they were not. I don't know how/why I
put up with it so long though, it's terrible. I overshoot & out pops
the toolbar, now BLOCKING the button I want to click. Same to close or
minimize a windows. Oh & closing or minimize controls hidden &
seemingly don't want to reappear till I button-mash. I know it's me.
Maybe I need to get back on mood-stabilizer medication ...or maybe
Unity & the toolbar just sucks like most people said from the get-go.

I thought I'd give Debian another try, this time with "Testing" after
a few people made some good points. My Acer Aspire One ZG5 wireless
card was not recognized. Router is in the roommate's living room. I
need it to JUST WORK. NEEEEXT! (I might add that Microsoft Windows
fresh, generic install often doesn't "just work" with laptops, so this
isn't a "Linux" knock)

Tried to install Linux Mint. Downloaded the torrent via website link.

fails. Now trying Unetbootin from Microsoft Windows. Makes me sad I
always end up, at some point, needing to boot into Windows in order to
get certain things to JUST WORK. I, know, it's me, but I've been with
Ubuntu Linux since 9.04 & I'm STILL using Microsoft? I'd have thought
by now the Windows partition would never be used, possibly deleted.
Nope, I seem to NEED Windows!? If I had money (see above AA1ZG5), I'd
get a Mac & probably be very, very happy. I'd still have my AA1 with
Linux of some sort, but if I had a Mac, would I bother to ever boot-up
my AA1? I'd be a less hard core geek, but I'd be a happier, lesser
geek I bet.

To be fair, I did a clean install of Ubuntu 11.10 & that went without
one hiccup. Not one. Everything seems to work. Except the toolbar. I'm
kind of sad to leave Ubuntu. Unetbootin is calling me to reboot
...ttyl.
