Bypass the Unity UI Altogether in Ubuntu 11.10 with the GNOME Shell Remix

October 26th, 2011 • Related • Filed Under

Are you less than pleased with Unity but want to keep using Ubuntu without switching to KDE, XFCE, or LXDE? Then you may want to take a closer look at the GNOME Shell Remix of Ubuntu 11.10.

The switch to the new Unity UI this year has created quite a stir among Ubuntu enthusiasts…some love it and others hate it. If you fall into the latter category then this particular remix may be just what you are looking for.

The Remix is set up with GNOME Shell 3.2 and gets you right into the latest Ubuntu goodness without any of the Unity UI components to deal with. You have the option to use the new GNOME 3 style desktop (shown above) or can go with the Classic style desktop (shown below) if you prefer the more traditional look.

Note: Just press the Alt Key and Right Click on the upper and/or lower Taskbars to add items just like in GNOME 2.
