I know it's a bit late, I found this while trying to find a verion of Gnomenu I can install for Ubuntu.


Piece of the Article:
Canonical has just released the new version of Ubuntu 12.10 (http://www.ubuntu.com), also known as Quantal Quetzal. If you decide to download the new version from Ubuntu’s official webpage (http://www.ubuntu.com/download), you will notice a rather provocative message. Above the download button, a slogan appears urging the users to install Ubuntu 12.10 instead of Microsoft Windows 8, not because of Ubuntu’s superiority but just to avoid the drama of Metro UI. In a matter of fact, it says “Avoid the pain of Windows 8. The all-new Ubuntu 12.10 is out now“.

Thanks for the article!

the correct way to put it would be "You sure love Ubuntu, don't you"
Yes, yes I do love Ubuntu, but not as much as my Tulpa, Yami. :cool:

Canonical is forgetting(or more likely choosing not to realise) that Linux is Not Windows (http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm).

I'm more concerned about 13.04. 12.10 is so buggy it's not worth the hassle.

I'm in 12.10 right now running KDE without issue. There is a slight problem with file indexing on the desktop though.

I've been having issues with Ubuntu software Center lately, It dosn't seem to want to open, I'll have to figure out how to reinstall it.
aparently I will need to update to 12.10.

I also find this interesting...

they explained why the phone could be the ultimate gaming device, perfectly...
