> Each year I tried ubuntu and the latest gnome Ah, well that's your problem right there. GNOME is shonky. If you know your way around the Windows keystrokes -- and everyone should -- then lots of Linux desktops honour them, or most of them and the rest can be added. Xfce is a better desktop in pretty much every way. Smaller, faster, stabler, more customisable, more keyboard-controllable, more screen-space-efficient.
