Plus options of personalization in Unity, and the launcher in the bottom position as option.

More fluent in Unity, por example; in Intel Quad Q8300, nVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT, 2 GB Ram, is regular, in PC´s with less potence, is poor.

I use the 64 bits versión.

Performance !, Performance !, Performance !

Global Menu always visible, as it is now is not logical y as said above are lost seconds add up and a is lost productivity.

Step by step, with ambition and hard work, but without neglect

Increased support for peripherals, printers, scanners as:

HP Photosmart D7460 Printer & Canon Canoscan Lide90 Scanner.

I hope this news in 12.04 LTS for productivity.

I’m going gradually leaving OS X

Ubuntu love.

Regards, to the Ubuntu Team and to you Mark.

1. Where are the windows ( When they were inactive ) with the zone transparent in the top ?, Return to them, complements the environment ! ( Only updated / adapted between quotes to the design of 12.04 )

2. Zoom in the right down corner as Nautilus Elementary for archives & folders.

3. Background by default more atractive, with colors blue, orange, leave this wallpaper current, create a most unique and charismatic to 12.04 LTS

Ah! certainly, a +1000 to the petitions / request / suggestions of “Orellana”.

A greeting.

For example, you are trying to force the concept of a global menu bar on applications that where never designed for one. So every application that does its own tricks to render the menu bar will be inconsistent with the rest of the desktop (unless you hack every single such application out there). And the fact that all menu operations has to pass through dbus is causing unnecessary latencies and cpu usage which is probably one reason why the global menu is slow.

The new scrollbars has the same problem. And they break a well-known UI behavior and add visual complexity for a very slim gain in screen estate.

The supposed advantages of designs are not good enough to justify the inconsistency, complexity and slowness.

Also, why does the window decoration merge with the top panel when the window is maximized? From the visuals clues it looks like the network manager indicator, user switch menu, sound icon etc. are a part of the maximized application. And if you start another application it will be controlled by a menu bar that is a part of the other (maximized) application’s window. Wtf?

There are other issues as well. I get the feeling that nobody thought things through properly before you started implementing various ideas.

Gnome shell has its problems to but at least you can customize it with shell extensions.

1- Global Menu always visible, as this is a loss of productivity.

These rounded top corners of the windows, when a light background or dark depending of selected theme, are serrated, please refine.

2- I do not feel bad that comes by default Launcher on the left side ( for ubuntu identity ), but you must give the option of placing it down at least, made ​​some minor adaptations to the Dash and others to match Launcher position down and away you go. I assure you that share will rise enough Ubuntu users having this option.

3- Debug code, optimize and increase performance by at least 60% compared to 11.10.

4- Focus on 64-bit version above all, and for the 12.04 Put ubuntu.com recommended the 64-bit download for home users. It´s the logical already

5- For when DVD Rom, Put purchase CD/ DVD also available 64-bit version for home users.

6- Ubuntu.com Translate to Spanish ( second language in the world )

I hope to meet the first four, and last two are feasible and easy to make.

To work hard, the effort will be rewarded in every way.

Thanks Mark and proud of you.

Regards.

First, the common thread in all of the comments above is that we all love(d) Ubuntu. I picked Ubuntu years ago when it first started, and I’m still here with it – for good reason. Thanks for making Ubuntu what it is.

That said, the other common thread is that Ubuntu is slowly losing it’s support for the diverse range of Gnu/Linux users that are out there. I’ve been a Kubuntu/compiz user for the past 4 years, and I’ve been disappointed with all of the breakage I’ve experienced in Kubuntu/Compiz since 10.10. (That was the last distribution for which compiz actually worked – and I’ve tested on a variety of hardware. So, I am looking forward to 12.04 exactly because the polish needs to catch up with the development work that’s gone on. I hope other people aren’t frustrated to the point where they give up, given that Pangolin looks like it will start addressing some of these concerns.

In any case, my plea is that some of the polish that goes into Ubuntu 12.04 be spread to Kubuntu 12.04 – and that some effort is put into making sure that the changes made for Ubuntu/Unity be made with compatibility in mind. It’s been really tough watching commits be made to enhance Unity which have destroyed the ability to use compiz for those of us who don’t use it.

I’m not going to pull out the “I’m going to switch soon” drama that I’ve seen above, ’cause I really do like Kubuntu – but I just wish I could share that love without all of the pains that Ubuntu/Unity development has inflicted on Kubuntu.

Anyhow, thanks again – and thanks for listening.
