Why I use Mint and not Unity

I just reinstalled my computer an had once again have to re-evaluate what desktop appearance I wanted. It was not a very easy choice to make.

I like the Idea of the Unity desktop, so I used it the first couple of days. However I could not stand the dash-launcher to take more than 2 seconds to start when I wanted a program. So I switched to Gnome-shell for a while (again, I hoped that the issues I had before would be gone). But Gnome-shell crashed all the time, so I tried Mint for the first time. And here I am.

I've noticed some people think of Mint being to slow, and using Unity because of that. Strange however that my experience is the opposite. Maybe that has to to do with what hardware you use, I do not know...

Mint running on my Ubuntu desktop

Here is how to install Mint on your Ubuntu computer :). The only thing to do is to run:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:gwendal-lebihan-dev/cinnamon-stable

then

sudo apt-get install cinnamon

And you have Mint installed. It is only to change session next time you log in.

I finaly realised Mint is to slow to. So it now seems like I am using openbox for a while
