[Qgis-user] FW: Problem with Ubuntu 12

[Dennis M. Linton]

The issue is really not with Unity but with the fact that choices were
removed when Canonical chose to implement Unity.  True there is (or was)
the choice of a semblance of the option of a Gnome desktop but it is a
bandaid and functions poorly in my experience.  

I suffered Unity during a six week effort "give Unity a chance" and to
avoid being accused of being unwilling to learn something new by Unity
supporters - I despise Unity now more than ever and, frankly, also no
longer have much regard for Ubuntu, which I had relied upon as my main
OS since around 5.10.

It may be that Unity should not be ignored in QGIS development but
neither should scarce resources be assigned to a desktop that,
apparently, functions far from the norm.
