I've switch three pretty computer illiterate people over to Ubuntu because they were sick of Windoze running slow. As long as they know what to click on to open their internet browser and listen to their music they're perfectly happy. And don't get me started about installs in Windoze. Linux takes a couple clicks and your admin password in Synaptic or Add/Remove. Windoze takes 3 reboots and a lifetime of selecting the "No I don't want to send you all my personal information so I can register my product and you can spam me with offers." option that pops up every time I run said software.
Next time you try out Ubuntu go to their forums. Most, if not all of the issues you pointed out can be resolved there fairly painlessly.
Terminals kick ass. So much easier than digging through 7 or 8 layers of Windoze options.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
