Windows 3.0 was released in May of 1990, just one month before I graduated from high school. Previous to this, my experience with computers was limited to DOS operating systems and good old fashioned Tandy Basic, with a smattering of machine code here and there. Needless to say, for me Windows was a godsend, and I remained a faithful little fan-boy all the way up through Windows 98, where for financial reasons I stayed until the release of Windows XP. | Windows 3.0 was released in May of 1990, just one month before I graduated from high school.

XP was missing a few of the features I liked from '98. It had some new quirks I had to get used to. And, until they came out with “service pack 2” it was rather unreliable. A few years go by and they finally get done shaking all (well most...) of the bugs out of XP just in time to release a new version called Vista. It was supposed to be faster, stronger, and just better in every possible way. They even beta tested the thing so it had to be good. Right? So, naturally, I ran right out and bought myself a new desktop, set it up and hit the power button. I didn't know it at the time, but that was the beginning of the end. | XP was missing a few of the features I liked from '98. It had some new quirks I had to get used to.

Thus began my exploration of this strange new world of Linux. I must have tried out 20 different distros and flavors. Some more than once. I finally settled on Ubuntu. It was the highest rated, most download, best reviewed, and most intuitive distro I found. After bouncing around between the three main desktops (Gnome, KDE and XFCE) for about a month I finally committed to Gnome because it was the most comfortable for me coming from a Windows OS background. | Thus began my exploration of this strange new world of Linux.

My first full install was Ubuntu 7.04 LTS with the Gnome desktop. It was freedom, Baby. I could finally make my computer look how I wanted, and act how I wanted. I must have completely rebuilt my personal desktop 1000 times in the last 5 years. My wife is terribly grateful for her own Login, I'm sure, as I am constantly fiddling and tweaking and revamping. It's so in tune with my artistic nature, and the possibilities are seemingly endless. It's been everything to me that an OS should be. It's intuitive, responsive, logical, and, mostly, it gets out of the way and lets me do what I want. | My first full install was Ubuntu 7.04 LTS with the Gnome desktop. It was freedom, Baby.

I've since installed every LTS version of Ubuntu that came out. Which naturally includes Ubuntu 12.04. I have to say, that it came as a bit of a shock to me when I saw the Unity desktop come up instead of Gnome. At first, I thought I had accidentally downloaded the wrong ISO.

Don't misunderstand. I'm not kicking Ubuntu to the curb just yet. I've found a desktop that works o.k. for me (Gnome classic... with quite a few tweaks added). But, I cannot help but question the wisdom behind the move to Unity. By swapping to Unity, they not only alienate their current fan base, but potentially alienate themselves from new converts who are used to a Windows style interface which has been around for 20 years. If we want to attract new users, we have to make that conversion easy and natural for them. Gnome accomplished this. Unity does not. I find it insanely ironic that a desktop environment which causes so much confusion, disharmony, and division is named “Unity.” | Don't misunderstand. I'm not kicking Ubuntu to the curb just yet.
