Sorry I didn't mean to imply an obsession. I'm a relatively high-level Linux user so I was just wondering what you were referring too. Your comment cleared that up though - thanks. My surface level impression of Ubuntu's innovation since I started using it around 2005 is that its interface usability and driver support has improved consistently - but I can totally see what you mean about the lack of improvements in the applications themselves. I do hear that gaming on Linux has improved quite a bit but I'm admittedly not much of a gamer these days so I can't comment.
