Is there any way to get the old Ubuntu Netbook Remix UI back in 10.10 and ditch Unity, which while it might be nice for some people (I'm unconvinced) is completely inefficient and horrible for other use cases.

sudo apt-get remove unity --yes && sudo apt-get autoremove --yes && sudo apt-get install netbook-launcher --yes

Which would be great if netbook-launcher on 10.10 didn't reinstall unity and thus leave me exactly where I started. – Nick Bastin – 2010-10-15T22:31:30.313
Hm... is there anything stopping you from jumping back to 10.04 though? – digitxp – 2010-10-16T03:05:52.307
Well, there's no clean process for doing so, but it's probably what I'll end up doing. That being said, Unity is just an X application, it seems insane that I have to downgrade my entire OS to change my desktop environment. – Nick Bastin – 2010-10-16T07:37:46.253
And hence, Ubuntu is the new mac. ;-) – digitxp – 2010-10-16T13:23:26.360
I switched from Unity back to the netbook remix UI on 11.04 and sure enough, the package I needed was netbook-launcher-efl, not netbook-launcher. – Keithius – 2011-05-04T20:01:48.543
