I'm with you on Unity - best desktop UI I've used since I had to give
up on RISC OS in '98! :-)

However, I'd question why you're using Ubuntu 12.10?  I now stick with
LTS editions, and treat the others as what they really are - betas for
the LTS's.  With the low-latency kernel and using the KXStudio ppa's
for most audio stuff, this seems a pretty solid and usable setup,
given that I use it as a general purpose setup with audio capabilities
rather than a purely audio platform.

Best wishes,

Neil
