Ubuntu 12.04 LTS removing unity and installing GNOME

[Eddie G.O'Connor Jr-I]

I have been using Ubuntu since 10 and to me I don't find the new desktop 
environment offensive at all. I happen to like things that are 
different, unique, and that go against the "norm". The Unity desktop is 
something that although it might take some getting used to, is 
definitely a step in the right direction......for me anyway. I realize 
it's not everyone's cup of tea, but we're talking about a desktop 
environment running on a platform that is NOT Windows! There's no reason 
to just "deal" with a desktop you're not happy with, or that seems 
complicated and confusing to you. For goodness sakes just use something 
else. or create one of your OWN! Are we not the "Open Source Community"? 
Surely there's some code, or some app, or some tip, trick, hint, that 
you can glean from the gurus that exist throughout most of the world! As 
for myself, I'll just use Unity, and get used to it....only because my 
next project is trying to figure out how to "blank out / erase" the OS 
on a tablet and install Ubuntu on one, without having to buy the thing 
with Ubuntu pre-installed on it...I wanna craft my OWN OS on 
one.......here's to hoping someone can point me in the right 
direction?....thanks in advance and let's remember, it might not be what 
you're looking for....but at LEAST IT'S NOT WINDOWS!...LoL!
