Frustrations

I am growing frustrated by Ubuntu inconsistencies.
Each flavor has its own GUI idioms and from a usability point of view it is a nightmare switching around them. I felt idiot as I was unable to add an icon to Kubuntu's screen or making Gnome not interfere with Xfce.
I will try PinguyOS - if it's the same crap I will consider other alternatives (OS-X).

  1. What I've experienced last week-end : one acquaintance upgraded to 10.04, then one of his installed software didn't start anymore. Cause - java disappeared from the system, need to reinstall.
    I hope PinguyOS solves this kind of issues.
    On the other hand, for a beginner its hard to chose from all these distros. Not everybody wants to try lot of them to make the final decision.

  2. Give a chance to Zorin OS too. I tried it from a USB live and was amazed.
