Re:full Ubuntu (Score 1)

Throwing in Ubuntu is easy to suggest, but watch out here! I am very happy with many aspects of Gnome3 myself. Still every once in a while, i am thinking of switching from using an Ubuntu laptop to a Chromebook. This has an important reason: graphics performance! X11 is for many reasons depreciated, but linux desktops still heavily rely on it. Canonical and other Linux desktop development sadly put their graphics efforts in different projects: Mir and Wayland. Both are at the moment not mature enough to use. Add to that proprietary Nvidia and AMD graphics driver nonsense. Or details like Chromium is not planning to enable native gpuMemoryBuffers for Linux. Or rubbish Linux hybrid graphics support. And you can figure out that Linux desktops are not efficient in running graphics, and won't be any time soon. Linux desktop user experience, and battery life suffer enormously because of that. But in the meanwhile, Chrome OS replaced X11 with Freon, eliminating display servers all together, by using DRM and OpenGL directly. So it's also easy to figure out that if you want affordable hardware, with great graphical performance, and with long battery life, a Chromebook is an option, but a Linux desktop not at all. At least any time soon.
