It’s been 3 weeks since I began using Ubuntu as my primary desktop OS, and so far I am loving it. I never claimed to be the expert on Linux, and had never really run it for anything other than experimentation before, so this has been quite a learning experience for me.

Obviously the best part is having that fine-grained control over every aspect of the OS and being able to readily access a wealth of software from the open source community with more often than not, a simple apt-get command.

Beryl is another reason I am loving Ubuntu. When I discovered the middle click function on the desktop, I was in awe. It literally throws you into a 3D mode where you can drag the cube around and see layers of windows on each desktop, stacked behind each other in the order they were opened.

I’m going to give another update here in a few weeks and decide whether to continue using it as a primary desktop OS.
