Well that was fast. I knew that I and others severely disliked the Unity desktop but the backlash has been startling.

Yesterday we published about Linux Mint's secret project for Gnome users and Clem's claims that soon they will overtake Ubuntu. Seems like he spoke too late.

Linux Mint sits on top with 2199 and Ubuntu slides to the second spot with 2011 rating.

Ubuntu really screwed up with that Unity interface. Hopefully Microsoft is paying attention.

I'm really loving the linux mint UI. thanks for the post.

I'd stick with ubuntu for any sort of supportable project, but mint is nice for non-mission-critical stuff.
