        πŸ™‚ That's how it's designed... A single page of all the apps in alphabetical order, and an app drawer on the left where you can place, and arrange your most-used apps.

            I'm not sure what your expectation is here. It looks much like normal Ubuntu does, though there are some small differences. If you switch to the rc or devel channel instead, it might be more like what you're expecting as the former dash (scopes) is now gone, replaced by the app drawer which is opened by swiping in from the left edge, or by tapping the big logo icon on the launcher panel.

            It is however, still not a traditional Linux distribution, but is an OS built for phones and tablets.

                @kevafc You're going to need to be more specific. If you're talking about scopes, those are all going away anyway. It's unclear what your expectation is of this "look" you mention.

                For Libertine, there is an option in System Settings, or you can use the CLI tools. However, it is very experimental, and for legacy apps, not for phone apps. The OpenStore app will let you install phone apps.

                      @kevafc That is a very old picture of how Ubuntu for Phones used to look when it first came out.

                      Things have moved on since the n. That look is no longer available.

                              @kevafc Right, that is a very old version of the dash and scopes, and those are gone in the upcoming release.

                                    @kevafc No. There is point where it was exactly what it was "meant to be," especially given designs were still changing when Canonical stopped development of the phone and such.

                                    The purple version you're talking about was not on any Ubuntu Edition phones, no. It was very early pre-release designs. You cannot get it.
