I'm sure the radically re-designed Ubuntu interface is brilliant, but it's just not at all quite ready yet.
It seems to work fine on my Lenovo X61 laptop, but I'm having LOTS of trouble on my 2-year-old Dell T1500 desktop PC.
=== newly added:
Surely the advanced graphical user interface is big trend these days. Apple has been digging the mine all over the years, and look at the blooming of new web design, fancy/elegant styles are all over the Internet... But we're talking about Linux! Does Linux have to minic and re-engineer that Mac UI to win to get users? Isn't Linux all about freedom, performance, and get-job-done?? Wouldn't it be bad if it resulted nothing but burned out developers and grumbling users?
=== added again:
Above complaints were about 12.04 beta.
Just re-re-re-re-installed 12.04 LTS 32-bit on the Dell desktop, and rather pleased that it seems to do fine.
Look forward to setting it up on my new Thinkpad X220.
