What you can’t see is the absence of a “one-click” option and the ability to add program shortcuts to the desktop. Below is my current version: Zorin OS 9 Ultimate.Īs you can see two of my core features are present.
It gave me the four core features I wanted and more: Unique software, stylish design, functionality, a vast array of pre-installed applications, plus excellent support. This led me on a long trek through the Linux wilderness, in search for Linux distributions that look like Windows, which ended when I finally forked out €9 for Zorin OS 7 Ultimate. Unity has always been polarizing, creating the weird situation where when Unity-philes discuss their favorite features and Unity-phobes decry their worst ordeals-they are generally discussing the exact same things. When Unity was forced on us, I really tried to like it, but eventually, it made me crazy. With these four features, I finally had the perfect OS.īut not for long.

After all, if I can be trusted to open a program with one click from the panel, why not a folder or a desktop shortcut?And second, the window preview, which was superior to and years ahead of the Windows 7 version. All of a sudden not only was my plodding PC was more responsive, but using the Gnome 2+compiz desktop I enjoyed two novel features that I came to love.First, theįirst, the one click option. In any case, years ago with XP eXPiring and the Vista disaster unfolding, I decided to experiment with Ubuntu. So I further confess that it’s possible I may be the victim of Windows operant conditioning. If you were lucky enough to find what you were looking for you’d be crazy not to immediately shortcut it somewhere, if only to briefly avoid the menu. Of course, shortcuts in all their forms were pretty much a necessity when running Windows their “Start” button led to a totally anarchic rat’s nest. I like being able to place programs I use all the time in the panel and I like having desktop shortcuts for regular but less used programs and files. I have a confession to make that doesn’t often sit well with many in the Linux community: I’ve always loved the design of the Windows desktop.
