Does anyone have a good alternative for Ubuntu's Unity. I like Ubuntu because of the community, but I just can't get over Unity. My normal keyboard shortcuts are all jacked up and it's just... impossible to deal with for me.

There is Xubuntu or Linux Mint (or of course tons of other Debian-based distros)

If you want to stick with Ubuntu and just remove unity, here are instructions for replacing it with Linux Mint's desktop interface (Cinnamon) and file manager (Nemo): http://askubuntu.com/questions/292394/how-to-completely-remo...

Lubuntu. Just windows and a panel, no clever.
Use Cinnamon.
Cinnamon looks legit! I'll give that a shot. Thanks :D
You own't be disappointed. It's extremely pleasant to use (and fast).
