op just use the gnome3 version of ubuntu. its ubuntu but excises all of shuttlewurf's silly GUI experiments. it even comes with the tweak tool installed by default so you can fix the alt+tab behavior and put all the window controls back on the windows. and the controls are on the right-hand side of the windows by default

well yeah but with near-standard ubuntu you've got a PPA for like every desktop package you'll want to install, and there's minimal fuckery

also for the other ubuntools itt i found a decent tutorial for custom encryption installs the other day:

-works good
-looks ok

-ships with a hosed up app menu configured, you have to remove it from the panel and add the mate menu on

otherwise its p needs suiting. i installed "mate-menu" becuase it is slightly nicer than the included menu but both have search functionality and look p much like the win10 start menu

it's worse than that: they attempt to implement gnome 2 using deprecated gnome 3 apis that are constantly changing underneath them

seriously canonical was sorta good around the time the first crysis game came out and it's been downhill since then
