I managed to install Ubuntu, and it is working! Although I wouldn't recommend it to the noobiest of users just yet (me being one of them), I can certainly see the appeal. I have been able to do more "out of the box" than Windows has ever let me, and this comes from completely free, community-supported software, the Internet has truly evolved people.
Hm, I had the most awesome post written up, however, I made the mistake to "cut" it and then copy a link to post here, which means that I lost it, the most awesome post ever, period. It had fireworks and everything. I completely forgot it now, this is just a tribute, in fact, the original post read nothing like this! This is just a tribute. (Yes, I rock out to Tenacious D quite often)

Anyway! The reason why I feel Ubuntu is not ready for the masses is really just because of the issues I ran into when I first installed it, namely unsupported or corrupted or whatever Nvidia drivers, or failure of some Xorg or Xconfig file, OR a corrupted kernel update (I didn't ask for corn thank you very much) truth is, no one actually knows why exactly this happened. I admit, I am a noob when you start to involve kernels and cobs and Xorg, cyborg, or whatever they decide to invent now, so I had no idea of how to proceed through the dozens of forum threads by people experiencing the same problem: a stupid black and white blinking screen that would not let me log in. My solution was much simpler than going sudo/extract/move/etc/X11/9/11/ which unless you are familiar with Ubuntu will be the last thing you want from an OS which claims to be simple to use. My solution was to simply avoid those Nvidia updated drivers, or the kernel updates, or anything that mentioned Xorg.config and so everything is still working, for the time being, but until when?
So just to leave you with something I found online, here is a website that makes OS-tans of Linux distros: http://www.jkhp.it/OS-tan/desktops.htm which is where I got that lovely Ubuntu girl from. They look really awesome, Linux should definitely adopt one of those as a pre-loaded wallpaper.
I have a few essays to finish *cough*start*cough* so I won't have too much free time to post but I promise I will review this week's Naruto episode which was, as expected, amazing, and sad at the same time.
Ja ne!
