So I just switched from Arch to Ubuntu to try out Unity for a bit. How is this done? When I move windows from the left to right monitor they keep getting caught on the edge and try maximizing. I'd prefer the dock on the bottom/top.

There's the sticky windows options under System Settings > Display that should disable the maximizing behavior.

For changing the dock, the command
code:
gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Launcher launcher-position Bottom (or Top/Left/Right)
should do the trick.

I'm loving 16.04 (and previously 15.10) with Cinnamon on my MacBook Pro from work. Cinnamon is the only DE I've found that sanely handles the resolution. It's pretty nice, really.

I'm surprised, honestly, considering Cinnamon uses X11, which wasn't really meant for HiDPI. How do common applications like for example LibreOffice or firefox fare? I don't really have a high res display to test it out.
