For me, Linux is all about choice.
Suppose I wanted to install Gnome 3 on Ubuntu 11.04, how would I do that? I
have done my homework and used Google, but everything I found involves
adding ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 to the repository, and included a warning that
it will break Unity and that there was no downgrade path. But most of these
things were at least 2 months old, so before 11.04 was released.
I really want to have my cookie AND eat it, iow when I log in I want to
choose between Gnome 3 today, Unity tomorrow, KDE the day after and Fluxbox
the day after that.

Anyone here who has successfully installed Gnome 3 on 11.04 and still has
Unity?


Amedee, one of my users installed Xubuntu instead of Ubuntu for this
round. He is very satisfied though I myself have not looked at it. It
is very similar to Gnome he reports, and he says it is not sluggish
anymore (I did not even know that he felt Gnome was sluggish). In
truth he downloaded Xubuntu by accident as I actually recommened
Kubuntu, not Xubuntu!


Thank you for your contribution, but it's not really an answer, is it? :)
