Is there analternate for unity in 14.04?

Question

Is there a way to put unity at the bottom of the screen or is there an alternative to unity?

Alternatively Use Auto-Hide option at appearance-setting. Or Install classicmenu-indicator or indicater-synapse etc packages which is displayed as applet. — Pandya, Jun 09 '14 at 16:02
No you can't move the launcher. As for an "alternative" check: http://askubuntu.com/questions/65083/what-kinds-of-desktop-environments-and-shells-are-available — Seth, Jun 09 '14 at 16:04

I'm not sure if you mean the menu bar at the top, or the launcher which is at the left. There is an article which discusses how to move the launcher to the bottom to make Unity a bit more OSX like, and might work on 14.04

Otherwise you might examine some of the alternate desktops available to the gnome desktop. Open the software center and search for desktop
