I might start using Ubuntu pure again. I honestly never understood the switch to this interface on desktop. Microsoft tried it on Windows 8 and failed.

Please to be defining 'failed'.

Not the OP but I think hacksonx might be referring to the big squares UI. They designed an interface that one could use with their feet... elbows.... etc... And it had that Pinterest/Masonry appeal to it. I think they realized quickly that that's not how desktop users interacted with their computer. Was it a failure? I can't say I've met anyone that is trying to re-enable that interface on any other device. I do know they went back to using a more Window95-esque interface for the default Windows 10 desktop.
