Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu "When looking at desktop Linux by itself, any analysis of the subject quickly leads to this question: why do users choose one version over another? There are as many answers for this question as there are users to give them, but ultimately it should boil down to just a few key decisions which must be made. Considering this, it may be surprising to some people to find out how successful Ubuntu Linux has been relative to other distributions."

I wish people would produce some usefull critics instead of the default brown color scheme being ugly, really! 2 clicks and it's fixed in any color you like. It is absolutely the last of my worries and I hope people stop bothering about it!

What "2 clicks" are you speaking of that will change the dirt-brown color and drums?

Do "2 clicks" change the sound theme, login screen, background, gdm splash, so the user has consistent theme throughout?

It's not just the window border color that needs de-uglification, you know.

Come on, the background is a Ubuntu logo floating, no hovering perhaps in a BROWN sky reflected in a BROWN sea.
It is like a vision of a sceptic tank.
Meanwhile two clicks away there is a plain brown background you can choose.
What would be wrong with blue?
Two clicks does what?

OMFG, who the hell cares? If that's the biggest problem you can come up with, than just go download whatever pretty background picture you want and shut up!
