I'm not entirely Unix illiterate, but this distribution has got me totally buffaloed.

I can't add the Terminal app to the application loader no matter what I do. I've now spent an hour researching it, and if I open Terminal, and then right click, there's no option to put it there.

Also, I REALLY don't like Unity, but all attempts to install GNOME have been totally defeated.

Perhaps I'm living too far in the future, but as 2016, somehow I have the impression that installing GNOME should be easy. I think the terminal app should be easy to add to the left side dock.

But none of this is easy in Ubuntu. Or perhaps it's just Unity. I can't tell.

What's going on? Can anybody tell me why I can't do these things?

Open the terminal. An icon for this application will appear in the Launcher. Right-click this icon (the one that appeared in the Launcher) and select "Lock to Launcher" from the context menu that appears.

For the other issue, please ask a separate question. (One question per post).

You might want to switch to Ubuntu MATE 16.04 LTS. AFAIK due to an installer bug you'll need to do a clean install if you want to migrate from Ubuntu 14.04.x to 16.04.0 LTS. I did that, got rid of quite some cr*** and now my system's speedy as heck. Also, it sports the old GNOME desktop. Worth a try!

Press [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[t] to open the terminal, right click the icon on the Launcher and select "Lock to Launcher".

Other option is search the terminal program, press the Windows Key and write terminal. Keep the windows key pressed to see the keyboard menu.
