How can UNITY be replaced by Gnome Classic on U 11.10?
Please direct me to a FAQ if one is readily available.
I just upgraded to U 11.10 and hopefully will upgrade to U 12.04 or U 12.10 within the next three months.
The login menu only lets me get variants of UNITY. Now I understand why UNITY is being pursued, but it is klunky for desktop use.
If I am going to stay with Ubuntu, I'd like what has been called Gnome Classic to remain an option. Is there a way to get Gnome
Classic functionality, menus without the UNITY bar, back? I had it on U 11.04 but that was out of support. I got quality help to upgrade my system to U 11.10 and I will probably need to upgrade to U 12.04 soon (LTS?), but I.d also like to cast my vote, agitate possibly, for support of Gnome Classic or similar functionality.
Please be aware that I am not opposed to the idea or even the necessity of UNITY, especially for tablets, smart phones, or laptops, just that IMHO it doesn't serve desktop users very well. I have tested UNITY on another system running U 12.04 and also on a live DVD U 12.10. I just prefer having menus instead of the UNITY bar and Dash on a desktop. This sentiment must be expressed to Gnome developers as the next release will emphasize gestures and small displays more.
