I'm not entirely Unix illiterate, but this distribution has got me totally buffaloed.
I can't add the Terminal app to the application loader no matter what I do. I've now spent an hour researching it, and if I open Terminal, and then right click, there's no option to put it there.
Also, I REALLY don't like Unity, but all attempts to install GNOME have been totally defeated.
Perhaps I'm living too far in the future, but as 2016, somehow I have the impression that installing GNOME should be easy. I think the terminal app should be easy to add to the left side dock.
But none of this is easy in Ubuntu. Or perhaps it's just Unity. I can't tell.
What's going on? Can anybody tell me why I can't do these things?
