This. I was a Ubuntu user for a couple of years, it's sh*t in all reality. If you want that UNIX look, just install OSX tbh. Not about going to "repositories" everytime you wanna download some GTK or KDE version of something ffs.

I don't understand how that's a bad thing. Repositories makes things easier.

Plus I don't get why you'd download a "KDE version of something" when you're on Ubuntu.

1. I just didn't like it, UMADBRO?

2. Cos there are some programs where the KDE version is just better or the leader i.e. K3b.
