With the release of Ubuntu 11.04 and the move to Unity I've switched to using Kubuntu as my main PC OS, and Ubuntu is getting wiped off. Unity just slows down the usage of the computer, I was able to switch between and launch tasks far quicker with a task bar and drop-down menus for apps instead of this terribly simplified tablet-style crap. Not to mention they got rid of scrollbars in Gnome so you have to make sure every window is in focus before you can attempt to grab the (non-proportional) scrollbar that appears when you hover over the area long enough for it to pop up near your pointer.
I agree, I was very happy with Ubuntu 10.10 but went to 11.04 thinking it would be great and was disappointed. Nice to hear Kubuntu isn't the same, maybe I'll load that one up today.
I also updated to 11.04 at it froze at the end and left me with a non booting linux install.
I had the same issue with two different laptops. Very disappointing.
