Ditching the Ubuntu Unity UI

It seems to be the decade of the bad OS UI; between Windows 8 and Unity, I'm about ready to swear off UIs and stick to command prompts.  Here are some quick notes on how to get the Unity monstrosity off your Ubuntu desktop.  First open a terminal window, and run

sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback


After restarting the machine, click the Ubuntu logo from the login screen (on the upper right):

and you'll be greeted with another menu:

Select GNOME Classic, followed by OK.  After logging in, Ubuntu will be "back to normal".
