i personally love ubuntu 11.10. the interface is very inviting. though when you install edubuntu through the software center it wipes out the interface and gives you the standard gnome. so my workaround was to just install the edubuntu software individually; no big problem. i always install it as a second operating system for customers who i can talk into trying linux.<br>

I'd especially like to hear from those of you who recently switched to Ubuntu from another OS.<br>

Well I went from Mint to Ubuntu if that helps. And then I actually installed Mythbuntu on my desktop because regualr Ubuntu was being stupid about playing hidef video, but mythbuntu on my media center had no problems.<br>
<br>
So then Mythbuntu on my desktop was being stupid about playing hidef video AND about audio.<br>
<br>
But I kicked it around a bit and now it's all working.<br>
<br>
(Ubuntu likes to have it's desktop environment control everything, and since I don't use it I have to go and manually add myself to the audio group. As for the video, for some reason a symlink to an nvidia library was not being created on the desktop).<br>
<br>
<br>
I know this isn't really the kind of story you wanted but what the hell.<br>
