My 2 cents:<p>- 14.10 isn't LTS, and is EOL now, i think you might mean 14.04?<p>- If you're going to disable unity for a dock, you might want to try elementaryOS, ubuntu Gnome with the dash-to-dock extension, or xfce. in 16.04 now you can also put the unity launcher at the bottom using unity-tweak-tool or running `gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Launcher launcher-position Bottom`<p>- I dislike droid sans mono because 0 and O look pretty much identical<p>- in my opinion, conky is just a useless waste of resources
Honestly, as a developer who's constantly trying out distros and stuff, over the years I've concluded that Ubuntu is a really suboptimal starting point.
The only thing he does that's remotely related to programming, is configuring the terminal.<p>I can't even think about using Ubuntu for developing stuff without first enabling virtual desktops, and they are not included in this guide.<p>Also missing: system indicator with CPU, memory and network usage.<p>No mention of a clipboard manager.<p>And he doesn't install SublimeText!
Really? A developer Ubuntu setup without installing Ubuntu Make [0]?<p>[0]: <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-make" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-make</a>
Basically it seems like they're trying to recreate OSX, which feels like it might be easier to just purchase a computer running OSX, or try turning your computer into a hackintosh.
