Tried looking at powertop? It's more about the tweaking rather than the distro when it comes to battery life

KDE doesn't bode well for me.

Put Ubuntu on my ultra-book, Mint had a few driver issues which I really wasn't in the right mindset of sorting out.

Nothing special.

My desktop looks pretty similar. I use the default Ubuntu desktop on my main machine across 3 monitors. Unity gets a lot of stick, but I quite like it.

Got very annoyed with Unity in the end.

Gnome 2 is awesome

It's pretty much stock Ubuntu 12.04 - using Adwaita for the GTK/Window Theme and Faenza for the icons as always.

Running Ubuntu 13.04 on a VM with Xubuntu Desktop; apt-get install xubuntu-desktop

Fairly stock at the moment:

Now changed to Pinguy 13.04

It's sure not a lot, but it's GNOME and it makes me a very happy boy indeed.

I have just added Zorin 6.3 (64bit) to my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Win8 Pro x64 PC,so have three OS options for bootup.

Very clean UI which is very Windows user friendly,http://zorin-os.com/ .

Zorin is based on Ubuntu,very underrated Linux Distro IMHO.

Unintall Docky and install Cairo Dock instead. And then install the gnome shell theme http://www.noobslab.com/2012/05/install-malys-glassart-gnome-shell-34.html Just type the commands in a terminal.

You can find all custom themes and icons here
And get useful extensions here I've got a weather extension enabled in that screenshot which is in my status bar.
