Coincidentally just ordered the Core i5-6500 off newegg (along with NZXT S340, Z170 mobo, 16GB DDR4, 550W Gold rated PSU, 850 evos, etc.) for my new rig. The CPU seemed perfect at $199 for my needs and first full new rig in about 7 years. Of course it'll be running Linux (Ubuntu 15.10), it does look like there were some regressions but those will improve in time. This post has got me even more psyched, can't wait to build it this weekend.

1) Systemd works great on the several machines I've tried, from an 8 year old home-built rig to my newer ThinkPad Carbon 2. Booting and shutting down are lightning quick.
Unity specific:
2) Place an option for Click-to-Minimize with the taskbar. This fundamental feature shouldn't require Unity-Tweak-Tools.
3) Get rid of the ugly boxes around the taskbar icons: https://askubuntu.com/question...
4) Really a new icon set is needed. Yes there are some great ones out there, which again seems to require Unity-Tweak-Tools e.g.: http://www.noobslab.com/2015/0...
5) Why not just include Unity-Tweak-Tools and call it Advanced or something, since basically everything requires it.
6) The Unity top bar is not useful. Honestly Windows 7 and newer has more efficient use of space since the taskbar, notifications and clock are all on the same bar. All it all it's a nice enough UI though.
7) After just the few tweaks above, I think Unity is excellent and no problems using it over any other Linux DE/WM.

With Debian running systemd, I appreciate Ubuntu moving in line, I'd prefer to keep fragmentation to minimum. I remember back when Upstart came there were significant boot time improvements. Surely with all (sometimes misconceived) cons related to Systemd there must be some benefits? Performance improvements? Configuration? Future-proofing? Something? Anyone?

Couldn't Android and ChromeOS merge into a single OS by now? It would be another Linux distro that supports x86 / ARM? Call it Android since the world actually knows the difference between that and a web browser. This current effort reminds me of Android 3.x Honeycomb that supported tablets and not phones, where this supports laptops not mobile devices. Why not merge?

Linux based like Kindle, ChromeOS, Android and everything else is these days. Or BSD based like Mac OS X, PlayStation 4, etc. Even if they closed source some of their assets. There, I said.

I don't mind Unity so much and Ubuntu is still my distro of choice. Having a persistent taskbar is a hellofalot better than Gnome. But I have to nagging complaints about the utter lack of customization with Unity: 1. Cannot click a taskbar app icon to minimize. It's buried in Compiz settings somewhere but I didn't see it in 14.10, I'll look again. 2. Cannot move the taskbar to bottom. Just... wow.

I read Hot Zone maybe 10 years ago. IIRC Ebola Zier was around 90% mortality rate, and Ebola Sudan was around 50%. Maybe that changed over the years but either way you're probably going to die if you get it.

Exactly there is nothing "poor" about this low life piece of garbage who knowingly came back from a place he may have contracted the virus then happily goes on with life in a city like there is no concern. Gets on subways, goes bowling in Willamsburg. He should burn for this. He wants to die a hero? No, he'll die a scumbag who brought Ebola to NYC and deserves Hell for it.

This asshole should be shot in Times Square for this idiocy. Knowingly going to a place where he could contract the virus then BRINGING IT BACK TO NEW YORK CITY? He goes bowling in Willamsburg like there is nothing to worry about when he's within the gestation period?! What is the #1 way to prevent the spread of a virus? Anyone would say isolation. Why are we even allowing flights to/from these countries? Who ever is in charge of these government agencies should be forced to resign. This idiot should burn.

This comment 100% hits the nail on the head. It's say that Android has become the best Linux "distro" now because of all this gnome3/unity garbage.

Have a small setup myself, I recently upgraded my router after many years of Linksys WRT54GL / WRTSL54GS class routers running Tomato and went with a Netgear R7000 (due to the WRT1900AC's terrible open source support). Running DD-WRT (Kong's builds) along with an Ext4 formatted USB 3.0 1TB hard drive (Seagate Backup Plus Slim). This is pretty much my "datacenter". Running Samba for storage and Minidlna for streaming right off the router now, and it works fairly well, meanwhile Kong's DD-WRT builds get better all the time. It pretty much covers my NAS/Datacenter in one 10W device.
