Xan when we look at everything, there is always hassles somewhere! I basically got to the point that I appreciate all that is here. As I said before, not to down Windows, but the simple fact is it never works right for me! Same goes for GM products, have absolutely no luck whatsoever! So, I basically do not buy any GMs anymore and do my best to avoid Windows!I know at many points when it comes to Linux, I do push it a bit on people, but for the most part is to show there is a choice. With cars, I never do as everyone is more aware of the vehicles in production, than Operating Systems! Am not defending Ubuntu at all, but least when it comes down to it is usable and is about the most simplistic system for new users. We have to remember way back(for me close to 2 years) when we started using Linux. We were naive Windows users that were used to the way that system worked. It was not an easy conversion for many of us. Least with Ubuntu, the changeover was a bit easier since there are so many forums and help sections in the system itself! Sure Ubuntu's systems are becoming more intense now with some crazy new ideas, but I suppose when it comes to trying to win more customers, newer ideas are implemented to reach their goals. Of course, many times new ideas and visions are not going to get the "Red Carpet" treatment as have found out on some of my own ideas! Still, there are many that want to see new ideas/visions and enjoy them! Also, in the past year have thought some of the ideas were not good, but after building a few of these Ubuntu's I came to find out there was no other way to do it! This 13.04, I currently run to me seems like is 5 years after the 12.10 I put together, just amazing! Sure there are some points that hurt and the fact I do not have more years at doing this, but the end result is awesome to see things function! A few days ago was working with video. Now in all my time on Windows, I never saw things go so smooth!
The exact second of the film I wanted to start the video clip was so simply done without crashing or strange messages! The footage was then put on a small mp4 player and played with more precision than I have ever seen in my life with computing! I will guarantee that Windows would never produce something so precise. What is really amazing is the software that came with this unit is not even half as precise as the software of Ubuntu! Developers in Ubuntu have not sold us out! They are simply in an ever evolving state to produce the best possible product they can produce. We also have to take into consideration that Ubuntu wants us to be able to do anything we want and does not want to have any constraints for us to contend with! Ubuntu never forgets the end user and the many wants and needs!!!! To me with everything concerned is a very exciting time to be in computing!
Anyway as not to get anymore carried away and follow this post here is my desktop at present with one of my newer themes called "Cyana". Credit for the great background picture belongs to "demercel" on Gnome Look. Absolutely, brilliant and beautiful background picture of the "London Bridge" just another point and proof that we can have an absolutely gorgeous desktop with Gnome and Linux!
