> that terrible ubuntu GUI update to have a ribbon.

Which one was that?

No version of Ubuntu I've ever seen has ribbons. This is one of the reasons I like it.

Do you mean when they switched from Unity to GNOME?

As I suspect that op meant that left sidebar that Ubuntu actually introduced with Unity. It was definitely ugly and unnecessary, especially with Amazon button on it by default (if I recall correctly).

Ah, could be, by the timing. The wording threw me off.

I loved Unity. I still use it today.

Yeah that sounds right. I can't quite remember the details because it has been 15 years and I loved trying different distros in general. I wasn't tied to the Ubuntu platform.

I suppose if I'm tied to anything, its the Debian branch of distros.
