Ubuntu 11.10 + Unity = Can't find stuff????

Diss · 9 Nov 2011 at 16:26

Hi

I have the latest version of Ubuntu installed with the Unity GUI.

Am i missing something obvious here, in that I can only find something I know the name of? What if i have an app that i forgot the name or just want to browse ALL Games i have installed - is there any way to do this?

Thanks

yeah... by hitting the filter button, next to the search bar, and selecting games there.

I have to say, I must be one of the odd few that like it

I'm not too keen on Unity. I've been using Gnome Shell for quite a while now and have grown to really like it although I keep reading about the masses who dislike it. I've also recently installed KDE to give it another whirl as I was never keen on it and it's quite nice now.

Some of it is that inplace upgrades never install without some problems, but i dont like Unity at all. If im going to reinstall fresh anyway to fix the bugs, i'm going to try somethng new. Mint it is i suppose!

You are aware that you don't have to use unity right? The traditional interface is there too?

Personally I love it. I just had to make all the icons in the launcher smaller and I was sorted.
