And I think it is great. It looks good, performs well, and is highly usable.
- Mouse to the top left of the screen (or press Windows key) gives thumbnails of the running apps (Activities-> Windows)
- or you can click on Applications to get a list of apps, which are categorised (All, Accessories, Games etc.).
- Hit the Windows key and start typing: this searches for Apps or Contacts (I wonder if it can be made to search for files?)
- Also on the Activities screen is a dock which shows favourites. It looks very similar to the Unity side bar except it doesn't pop up irritatingly when you put the mouse over it whilst trying to use the windows max/min/close buttons which are on the left in Unity.
- max/unmax is just double clicking on the windows top bar
So I was getting used to Unity, and could see where Canonical were going with it. But it seems to me that Gnome 3 is here now and working well - recommended!!
