Agreed.... @chockosta What version of Ubuntu is that? Looks like 9.10 (my favorite one) but if its 11.10, how did you get it to look like that?
Current Projects:
-Sparta GUI Library: 25% - Alpha Stage
-Grapher - 75% - Beta Stage *on hiatus

Sigh. The latest version of Ubuntu has Unity interface by default, but you can change it. Never associate a distribution with its default interface, but with its default applications, package manager, etc.

I am an Ubuntu user and I use Awesome WM, which is an advanced window manager, configurable with Lua, and I love it. Just because I use Ubuntu, I don't have to use Unity.

Install Ubuntu and choose another interface:
- KDE;
- xfce;
- Gnome Shell;
- dwm;
- Awesome WM;
- xmonad;
- i3;
- Enlightement;
- Pantheon;
- etc.

How do I choose another interface? I used to use Ubuntu for 3 years a while back until 2009 when I got a new computer. I don't know how to navigate the interface anymore...

OK.

In the login screen you will see a gear next to your name. Click on it and select the desktop environment you want. GNOME is GNOME3/ GNOME shell, and GNOME classic is pretty much like GNOME 2. You can install more Desktop Environments with terminal:

XCFE:
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop

LXDE:
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop

KDE:
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

Hope that helps!

EDIT:
If your a real geek, get the awesome DE:
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install awesome

No, I didnt make it myself, but I did do the apple logo :)

I set the desktop to show no icons and then used the folder view screenlet to get a KDE plasma-like desktop.
