On a bored Saturday afternoon I decided to give Ubuntu Unity a try, since I hear so much about people successfully running KDE on this beauty.
sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop unity
Verdict so far - not bad! I wasn't expecting anything brilliant, and was pleasantly surprised to see that while it struggles with UI elements, actual operation works pretty damn well.
Problems I've encountered:
* Takes a long long time to transition from login to desktop environment.
* Need to disable Ubuntu mouse adjustments, otherwise you literally cannot use the touchpad.
* HUD doesn't seem to work.
* Opening Dash takes a while, and animations are sluggish.
But it's all worth it for that beautiful, streamlined and seamless experience offered by Unity 7. Gives me a chance to make the most of it before it's fully deprecated!
With this guide, you can also change lightdm to Ubuntu style.
