I like very much global menu in previous versions of Ubuntu. But Unity is too slow for my Eee PC. So now I am looking for some alternative Desktop Environments or Distributions where there is global menu available. But at the same time there should be UbuntuOne service working too, as I use it pretty often. Could you, please, suggest what should I try out?

I also use keyboard shortcuts very much and so I guess they should be configurable, and try not to use touchpad at all. So big icons like in gnome-shell and Unity are not a good option.

    Have you tried unity 2d? Nov 19, 2011 at 18:48
  • Yes, but it is much less configurable than unity. For example, I could not find how to configure the size of the left panel buttons.

You can try out xubuntu-desktop. There is now a global-menu plugin available for XFCE.

See OMG ! XFCE Global Menu [PPA Ready].

Try enlightenment e17.
It's a great lightweight DE that I use on my old Atom netbook.

Everything apart from software centre is quite snappy.
