If I may say so...

If you can't handle the single global menu bar at the top of the
screen, and you're finding the in-title-bar menus hard to use, then
IMHO it could be that Unity is not the desktop for you.

I'd suggest switching to some alternatives, experimentally, and if it
works, reinstalling with a different remix.

My personal favourite alternative is Xfce -- i.e. Xubuntu -- because
it handles a vertical taskbar fairly well. None of the others do this.

But if you're comfy with a Windows-like desktop, then Cinnamon is
arguably the best and most modern, being based on Gtk3 and GNOME 3 and
thus having a rosier-looking future than the Gtk2-based alternatives
(Xfce, Maté, etc.*)

*(It might be worth noting that LXDE is also based on Gtk2 but it's
migrating to Qt instead of Gtk3. At least they have a plan; the others
seem to have their heads thrust firmly and determinedly into the
sand.)
