i hate to tell you this OP but it just sounds like you don't know much about linux or are bad at it it's not that hard to use, and there are multiple functional wms. try lxde? it's basically windows 98 kinda or something? if that's too smart for you then gob ack to using the mac

using linux on a desktop is a bad idea unless you've been using linux on a desktop for years... if they provided you with a mac why did you bother going for wayyy-too-hard-to-use ubuntu?

gnome is a lot better than any other desktop. You have some kinda insane stockholm syndrome from using the terrible aids infected osx too much. I pray for your recovery op. Namaste.

Seems most of your problem with the os are derived from you trying to give it aids (making it more like osx.) Think about it op You're sick.

akadajet posted:osx is really good and nice it's ok, but gnome's window management is great once you learn the shortcuts. you can fling windows all over the desktop and between workspaces with just the keyboard while osx still requires you to drag things around for certain operations, like moving windows between workspaces
