Simply install gnome-shell. $ sudo apt-get install gnome-shell Doing so, you will have an option to choose between Unity and GNOME at the login screen itself by clicking on the gear. > I don't understand why they have to keep making changes to the > appearance or the user interface with each succeeding version when the > old interface was working so well. > > I kind of disagree with you on this point. If no changes are made, then there will be no development. While features like HUD and others have been annoying to some, they are also been liked by many. So its not fair to say why such changes are made.
