Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Out; Unity Gets a Second Chance

Posted by timothy on from the will-reserve-judgment-until-I-try-it dept.

An anonymous reader writes with this enthusiastic review of the latest from Canonical: "So how does Ubuntu Precise Pangolin (12.04) fare? I will say exceptionally well. Unity is not the same ugly duckling it was made out to be. In Ubuntu 12.04, it has transformed into a beautiful swan. As Ubuntu 12.04 is a long term release, the Ubuntu team has pulled all stops to make sure the user experience is positive. Ubuntu 12.04 aka Precise Pangolin is definitely worthy of running on your machine."

  1. Re:Buttons on the wrong side... still. by CubicleZombie · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Funny how slashdotters in general applaud Microsoft for completely throwing out the concept of menus, and then slam Ubuntu for moving the minimize button to the other side of the window. Which IS easily configurable. I don't remember how, because it took like 2 seconds the first time I logged in.
