[ubuntu-uk] What should be done for 12.04

[Nick McAlpin]

I'm sorry, but if you want stability for a Server etc, you'd be going with RHEL, SELD or Cent OS, because they are the most stable (nowhere near the best, especially Cent OS), but they are rock stable. Ubuntu's market should be the end-user market of regular people, not business. Ubuntu is meant to be the cutting-edge, desirable and easy to use Linux System, not the stable, corporate one!

Just saying, 


Nick.

Since nobody else has even mentioned it...

How about ensuring complete feature parity between Unity & Unity-2D?
Apart from the 3D effects, I feel that they should look and work
identically. At the moment, on Oneiric, from a quick look, they're not
- e.g. the 2D version has differently-shaped buttons.

I would also urge more testing of Unity on lower-end kit. I find the
animations very jerky when moving between desktops, for instance. I
would like an option to turn the animations off.

Indeed, more customisability for Unity would be a good thing, even if
that just means bringing "confity" or CompizConfig and the Ubuntu
Unity Plugin into the distro as standard. AFAICS these don't work at
all with Unity-2D, too, BTW. That's a hole that could do with closing.

I found it much more pleasant to use after turning off the lairy
coloured backgrounds and shrinking the buttons by about 25%, myself,
for instance.
