Me too.

I agree.

I have been watching some of the 3rd party Unity remixes but nothing
seems to have critical mass.

Good luck. I hope it's a one-off problem.

Augh! :-(

FWIW, I had the problem of being unable to hibernate Windows 10 and
then boot Ubuntu.

Win10 has a "fast boot" mode which shuts down _most_ of the userland
and then hibernates. When you reload, it loads the saved running image
and then you log-in afresh.

I disabled this, by some registry tweaking or something, *and* then
disabled Windows's hibernation feature, and now I can shut down
Windows and know that Ubuntu will boot properly next time.

Doesn't help but MS is certainly making it harder for us as time goes by.

"MS <3 Linux" my $RUDE_BODY_PART. It's the same old embrace-and-extend
BS they've always done.
