but shit like this really grind my gears 
Like, the “start menu” -> type in name of program workflow is so awful. “ter” should become Terminal (Konsole)?? “settings” should return System Settings, not fucking KDebugSettings.
GNOME just works so much better, and literally the only reason I stopped using it is because I want my games to screentear. And the patch to enable that is taking forEVER to land.
The search in unity de that ubuntu used to have was always my favourite other than it would shamelessly advertise amazon to me. The problem is when they stopped supporting it i was left with kde or gnome where like i would prefer a hybrid of the two and not have to deal with drawbacks. I loved unity so much even if everyone else hated it i thought it was genuinely quite a sexy desktop environment with the right theming
World’s only Unity DE enjoyer (braver than the troops)

Second Unity DE enjoyer checking in, it was perfect for 2-in-1s at a time when touch interfaces and drivers were kinda iffy. The only real alternative tablet OS option was Windows 8, which was abysmal and had two UIs duct taped together. Somehow neither one worked well for desktop or touch.
