Too bad 12 inch laptop is too difficult to use for senior people. Whether you are old or young if you cannot adapt and willing to learn new stuff you might find the current setting unsuitable. The desktop version of Ubuntu is optimized for bigger screens. Alternative is for you to customize everything or use other windows manager. For a 12 inch laptop I suggest a tiling windows manager like Xmonad.
