    Ubuntu is now a failed experiment. Linux is still awesome, but if you want the real experience you basically have to go with straight Debian.

    I certainly hope it does not have that Unity or whatever the interface is called. I have opted to switch distros because of the user interface. Is a painful choice, because it is a really great distro, but having the launcher on the left is a pain!! If they took it and moved it to the bottom, would make a whole lot more sense! Or, if they would allow you to move it to where you like, would be good also.

    At least Linux 's number one agenda isn't data mining and selling you stuff like Apple and Microsoft. Linux is is a good operating system.

    Soldier1st: you miss the point of my text completely, I have been trying Linux for the past 20 years and I am having the same old problems now as I had 20 years ago i.e. no printer drivers no scanner driver, can’t use 2 monitors nothing remotely as good as photoshop (and don’t mention Gimp it’s a joke” the man in the street just wants a OS and software to do their bidding without tinkering about on the command line. This is the year 2010 not 1985
