The mock-up shows a Unity focused on finding and rapid interaction to
launch applications. No distracting elements.

- The circles on the right indicate the Applications page where you
are, like Android or iOs, but scroll down.

- The 3 rows of lens applications would be eliminated. ('Recent
Applications' by now would have no better use than the left-launcher.
Why 'Installed Applications' are hidden? by showing all of those icons
you can get a better view of what is in the system. 'Applications to
download' is redundant with the action that meets Ubuntu Software
Center, which performs the function of recommending applications)

- The lens Applications replace the home. (The home is divided in
three rows, the most recent elements are found in the left-launcher or
lenses)

- The window control buttons removed. (The Ubuntu button opens and
closes the dash, full screen always keeps your attention)

- Categories filters removed. (More options for subdivision
applications only brings more complexity, to this is the search and
quick scroll with circles)
