- Faster boot time almost 20 sec “wow” check this video
- New network manager and its way better and easier comparing to 8.04
- Nautilus 2.26.2 and tabs thing very useful

The main reason IT people are unhappy at work is bad relations with management, often because geeks and managers have fundamentally different personalities, professional backgrounds and ambitions.
So where does it go wrong? Here are some top reasons :
- Not giving geeks a recognition since managers may not understand the work geeks do it’s hard for them to recognise and reward a job well done, which hurts motivation
- Always asking for overtime , that maybe because managers figure that geeks don’t lead a normal life and that’s a huge mistake , that always lead to quit
- Managers tries to be smarter than the geeks when it comes to technical questions that they don’t know anything about , they should admit it , better than pretending to know, geeks are smart.
- Making decisions without consulting geeks. they usually know the technical side of the business better than the manager, so making a technical decision without consulting them is one of the biggest mistakes a leader can make.
- Not giving a proper tools that needed . A fast computer may cost more money than an older one and it may not be corporate standard, but geeks use computers differently. A slow computer lowers productivity and is a daily annoyance. So is outdated software. Give them the tools they need. Understand that tools come in many forms. Caffeine is considered a standard tool among Geeks. It’s good to keep a supply of the caffeinated beverages your team prefers handy.
- Managers thinks that programming is industrial process and geeks must constantly come up with solutions to new problems and rarly every solve the same problem twice , geeks are creative workers therefore they need leeway and flexibility . Strict dress codes and too much red tape kill all innovation. They also need creative surroundings not putting them in cubicle to die , giving them small place or crowded offices
- Sometimes happens that a geek managing geeks and they wear the boss hat like crown , They know you’re in charge- don’t carry it like sign
consequences of doing all or some of above
- low motivation
- high turnover
- Lower productivity
- Lower quality
- Bad service
