Unity Tweaks

Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet from the release of the codename is the talk of the town for a small but very helpful tweak 'show menu always'. In Ubuntu 14.10 the tweak to show menu on window you're working on rather than on the top of screen. But now with that tweak there is another tweak 'always-show-menus'. Now you don't have to hover over the window title bar to see file, edit, view, help etc. menu but they are always there.

Systemd 

One of the major changes in Ubuntu  15.04 is that the default init system, upstart has been replaced with systemd. With that change there is improvement in boot speed. I felt the OS booted faster than before with upstart. 

Although there is an option to boot system with upstart in GRUB and it is for in case any user faces trouble with systemd so he can select upstart to boot system.
