Re: is Ubuntu 13.04 going to be any better?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi guys, I have Ubuntu 13.04 installed on my laptop. At the moment, what is the recommended interface? If Gnome is the interface of choice, how do I migrate to Gnome from Unity?

Given there are a few big changes in the 3.8 cycle, and since Ubuntu has rather heavily patched some of the core components, a decision was made to stick with 3.6 this cycle, partly for stability reasons, and partly due to the work required to port the patches to another new release. There are also not enough human resources to keep track of a GNOME development release. The accessibility stack in 13.04 is from GNOME 3.8 however.

I'm just a little concerned that the GNOME edition is still running GNOME 3.6 + Orca 3.8, whereas Ubuntu 13.04 should be running GNOME 3.8 in its entirety. But maybe they will upgrade the GNOME edition to 3.8 after the Ubuntu release is finalized. ~Kyle http://kyle.tk/ -- "Kyle? ... She calls her cake, Kyle?"

Re: is Ubuntu 13.04 going to be any better?
Well, I think Ubuntu 13.04 is going to be released at least by this month end. So may be they might fix more bugs along the way. Perhaps waiting for a month more might help the cause. Happy hacking.
