I'm running on a Macbook pro. Most of the times, not always, the "switch user" functionality fails. There are 2 outcomes:

1. My laptop goes to sleep.
2. My laptop shows me the login screen of my current user.

Anyone knows a workaround?

I have a Macbook pro running Ubuntu 18.04 with GNOME 3. I use my laptop in 2 setups:

1. Closed lid with a monitor
2. Open lid with no monitor

I've been noticing that when I pull my laptop out of my bag, it's very hot and the Apple logo is lit. Here is how I usually suspend my laptop.

Setup 1:

1. I click the battery/audio/wifi icon
2. I press Alt so that the Power icon turns into a Pause icon
3. I hit the Pause icon
4. I watch the Apple logo on the back of my laptop turn off, then turn on again, then turn off.
5. I unplug and put away my laptop.

NOTE: If I do not unplug my laptop from the monitor, the monitor goes black briefly, then I see the login screen!

Setup 2:

1. I click the battery/audio/wifi icon
2. I press Alt so that the Power icon turns into a Pause icon
3. I hit the Pause icon
4. I close the lid
5. I watch the Apple logo on the back of my laptop turn off, then turn on again, then turn off I put away my laptop
6. List item

Why won't my Macbook pro go to sleep? I do not want to shut down every time I go out.

I want a keyboard shortcut that is equivalent to pressing the dotted "Show Applications" button on the Ubuntu dock. The closest thing in Settings > Devices > Keyboard is Show all applications (Super+A), but this shows not only all applications, but all activities as well (maybe a bug?). For example, here is a sequence of actions:

1. I press Super+A to get up the applications dash.
2. The applications dash pops up as expected.
3. Now I want to close the applications dash, I hit Super+A OR Escape.
4. It goes away, but now the activities dash is there instead of the desktop or whatever I had before Step 1).

I installed Ubuntu 18.04 which comes with GNOME. Since I wanted to have the Windows task bar feel with no item grouping, I opted to install Cinnamon.

In Cinnamon, I lost the default Ubuntu feel and color theme. In particular, the default close:maximize:minimize icons that come with Ubuntu are gone (refer to below picture). How can I get those back?

I have explored countless themes using Preferences > Themes > Add/Remove, then choosing the appropriate window "feel" from Preferences > Themes > Window borders.

Here is a picture that shows the window appearance for both Nautilus and an arbitrary utility under Preferences taken at the same time.

GNOME (default) window feel vs window feel on Cinnamon:

I want to get back the GNOME (Default) feel. Somehow Nautilus maintains the default window feel but all other windows do not.
