huh? lol I was making a smiley, as in a "Well Thank you!". I wrote 8 Characters needed because of the stupid character limit.

I like Ubuntu. It tends to have more current releases of the software I use.

First of all, it's not bloated, so you get better performance in applications. Then, they give you essential apps that are useful like Lingo and Dexter. The minor fading animations that are used throughout the menu system are just the perfect touch (in Luna, not sure about Jupiter). The setup of the dock, and the way it automatically hides when you maximize an application.

Basically, I think that it's the most well thought out, elegantly designed Linux distribution to date. However, there are many distros that I haven't tried yet, and maybe some of them work better for some people. Through the searching that I've done in the past, I've found that ElementaryOS is the choice for me, and Ubuntu is a decent fallback OS.

I find it interesting that you start on one end of the "ease of use" spectrum with the first two, and it takes a sharp turn to Arch immediately afterward!

I am using Ubuntu. I keep on switching from Windows to Ubuntu, because I wanna use Linux a lot more. There's so much you can do with it, and using it, I can learn a lot more. I wanna try out a lot of different distros when I can. I don't wanna put them all on my HDD, so I need to get some CD's or a Flash Drive.

Same here, but I'm looking into using a difo distro this time! ;)

(Sep 05 '12 at 12:51) benwatkinsart benwatkinsart's gravatar image

Mee too. Some day, I'll buy a bunch of Live CD's and download a bunch of OS's and try a lot of them out on a CD. It will be fun.
