Monday, April 29, 2013  My take on Ubuntu 13.04  Ubuntu 13.04
was released last week, supposedly a polishing release that
provides the best Unity experience to date. However, the
response to this release from the media has been cold, why so?
Raring Ringtail comes two years after Unity was first introduced
in Ubuntu 11.04. Back then, and for several releases to come,
Unity was a bit of a disaster. Ubuntu took something that most
people loved and turned it upside down, many times introducing
changes that apparently made no sense or that hinted at a total
lack of direction. In my case, Ubuntu 10.10 was the last release
I used and have only tested subsequent releases briefly, just to
realize, time and again, that Unity was still far from being a
proper alternative to other options available in Linux. In a
sense, I guess I have to be thankful, because I don´t think I
would know KDE, Fedora and other things so well had it not been
for Ubuntu messing up. That´s probably something the Ubuntu
community didn´t want to
