Beautifully done, but it's a shame that Ubuntu, or any flavor of Linux for that matter, just don't work quite as well as shown here. It's a tinkerer's OS, because it requires a lot of tinkering just to get it running smoothly. And even then, there's no guarantees.

Plus there's not a lot that can be done with it since it doesn't really have the vendor support of Windows. Sure, you can watch movies, listen to music, check your email, and browse the internet, but how much real FUN can you have with it? At least when applications aren't crashing or giving nondescript error messages.

Don't get me wrong, Ubuntu Linux is one of the most powerful operating systems around. It's just not ready for mainstream.

I dunno, I prefer it over Windows. Maybe it's because I love to tinker, but I haven't had any real problems with it at all (nothing I haven't caused...). It's changed a lot lately, and there is much more support for it now then there used to be. Ubuntu also has a great community.

I, too, love to tinker. As an operating system, I prefer it over anything else. I used it for years. However, until it reaches the level of Windows as far as vendor support goes (and I'm not talking about opensource stuff), then it can never really replace it for me. When I used it, I had to keep my system as dual-boot, because I would often require Windows.

As a designer, not being able to use Adobe applications such as Illustrator, Photoshop, Flash, etc. is a huge downside. Also, as a gamer, well, you're extremely limited on that front as well.

In any other arena, Linux is very, very powerful. It just lacks a lot of usability that I require. Fill those needs, and it would easily become my sole operating system.
