Further, a Unity desktop can be installed and then forget about Unity most of the time by installing one of the many 'docks' such as AWN, GNOME Do, Cairo etc.</div><div>I am undecided what to do. I need to upgrade all my computers in April/May and most need to be on the same OS so I can ensure they all work with MythTV.</div><div>The 'Mate' desktop may be a favourite for lovers of old school GNOME. I go for minimum 'mouse' movement (though I use a trackball - wouldn't give one of those RSI inducing devices house-room !).</div><div>Mint's Cinnamon desktop, installable on other OSs, is also proving to be a favourite.
