This OS is simply amazing. Even though this wont be my primary OS, I wish it was. Lets throw some pros and cons up here. Oh and by the way, this is running Ubuntu 12.10. I run a dual boot of Ubuntu 12.10 and Windows 7 Home Premium if you were wondering

Pros:

-Customization

-Lots of Workspace

-Simplistic Feel

-Quick and Simple Install

-Beautiful Built In Fonts and Wallpapers

-Loads of Settings

-Fast/Responsive

-Pre Installed Office Programs (Libre Writer, Calc, and Impress)

-Ubuntu One (5GB Storage Cloud, Free)

-Terminal For More Programming/Computing Needs

-Finds Network Connections Instantly

-Firefox Pre Installed

-Thunderbird Mail Pre Installed

-Ubuntu Software Center

-Dash Home (Search anything on your computer, anywhere, anytime, in seconds)

-Crystal Clear Audio

-Gwibber (Social Networking Program)

-Install Only Takes Up About 4GB

-Built In Tools (Calculator, Text Editor, Etc.)

-After Four Days of Use, I Havent Found Any Bugs



Cons:

-Not Many Programs Are Supported

-When You Download Setups It Mostly Always Takes You to Software Center

-Some Freezing Issues When Updating And Running Other Programs At The Same Time

-Still In Beta Stage So Freezing Issues Could Be More Frequent

-Software Updates After First Ever Boot Could Be Pretty Lengthy


For me, I absolutely love this OS as I previously stated. Fine, sometimes it can have frezzing issues, but its 12.10. Its a beta, its supposed to be a bit glitchy. There were times where I got a little bit frustrated by the freezing, but I got over it quickly. It was happening mostly for me because I was updating the Ubuntu software while fiddling with some features.

My Final Opinion/Recommendation:

I would recommend this OS to anyone. Its great. Against all other Operating Systems (Mac and Windows) I feel that Linux took the crown this time around. I would suggest trying out the OS before installing it, to see if you like it. Also if you are in love with the software, but dont want freezing issues, go for version 12.04 of Ubuntu. It doesnt have some of the new features of 12.10, but you are guaranteed not much freezing since it is an official version not a beta version. Hope you guys enjoyed this little review. Thanks would be nice, since this took a bit to compile.
