The new Ubuntu distros now are a lot like Windows 8. They are using simplicity
w
ith icon-based desktop viewing but in a more graphical intensed way than
before
causing more complication and major confusion for a lot of users in the
long run
including me who test drived it recently. I was definitely not too
impressed wi
th it. That was for sure there though.
