Looks ok on the webpage but i don't think it looks very nice when you install it.

I just don't get how it got chosen as the new theme as it seems very immature ranging from insipid to over the top lazer orange against bright white that just looks nasty.

At least Ubuntu has desktop icons. In Fedora they have removed the ability to save anything to the desktop.

Supposedly it's a Gnome thing that will come to all distributions eventually.

They might put it back but for now, no desktop icons or saving anything to desktop.

From the screenshots I quite like it. With regards desktop icons in Fedora I think you can add them back with Gnome Tweak.

I have been using Ubuntu Mate which I find much nicer, also enabled plank as its installed but not running by default.

Gnome and no desktop icons is great. I love it now I got used to it.

I'm impressed with Ubuntu Mate every time I use it.

Indeed, its also nice having almost everything I need available straight from the software centres.
