ive been using ubuntu since release 9.04...all i can say is it do perform well, and ok for everyday usage, but it needs to be polished in two parts, driver support (mainly because propriety manufacturer does a bad driver coz open sourcew bla3x) and users ignorance...lol...much of todays users still dont know what linux is despite having an android phone...
