elementaryos is so similar to Mac. It's pretty sweet, took a jump into popularity out of nowhere.
Well I ended up installing Ubuntu and I'm already getting annoyed. Why is there no easy way to get a listing of all available programs? I can't even find a way to open a command prompt, which is crazy... this is Linux, and you don't give me an icon for a command prompt? WTF
I like the Xfce desktop, and am currently typing this from Xubuntu. You can install other desktops on that installation, and pick the one you want at login.
Both!

Just install mint cinnamon and be done with it. Coming straight from windows its reasonably familiar and much better than fighting ubuntu with its unity GUI.
I didn't see anything wrong with Unity, really.
The reason I don't see anything wrong with it is probably because I am a perpetual Linux noob. Unix style cli commands and syntax have never come easy to me. If it wasn't for Google searches, I doubt I could ever have gotten the things to work that I want. But now that I have, we'll see. Maybe it'll stick this time.There's nothing wrong with it if you like that style of desktop. It works according to specs. I don't like that work style, and prefer a classic desktop. AFAIC, nothing beats the Gnome 2.x style, with two panels. That's how I setup Xfce, and I don't see making substantial changes to that ever :^D
