Unity is default for Ubuntu 12.04. You can install XFCE from the
repositories and use it instead.
Ditching Unity is one of the first things I did after the upgrade,
not only because of the CPU-hungry compositing effects but also, I
couldn't find anything. "User-friendly" my *** ;-> So now I'm
running Gnome Classic (no effects).
Neither my wife nor I found Unity at all user friendly. When I tried it
on my laptop, it wouldn't enable any of the compositing effects, I guess
the 8-year old Intel video hardware just isn't up to snuff anymore.
Actually, there's 2 versions of Unity now. One uses 3D acceleration
(assuming hardware/driver supports such). The other is Unity 2D. It is
noticeably faster than 3D on old hardware.
