Topic: I actually kind of like Ubuntu.

Although, I do get an Authentication Error whenever I try to install applications from the Ubuntu Software Center yet I managed to install Firefox just fine through the terminal. Is there a way to set permissions for this application. I hate knowing there is an app I cannot use installed on my computer.

Research your issue and if you're still having the issue after that then ask one of the ubuntu forums and you'll have better results.

Ha, I was in the process of Googling before I came back to this thread. What does 'add line to startup applications' mean?
Also, in the sidebar I see a bunch of icons of what looks like hard drives with names such as XXX MB Volume, ROOT-A, etc. Should these be there?

Why use an OS that requires programming knowledge to install it?

Because I want to learn it, but I didn't need programming knowledge to install this with Crouton on my Chromebook.

I like it too. Somehow I find the aesthetic soothing.

The toolbar and the options bar make it feel like a free OS X, but that is probably due to GNU +Linux's roots in UNIX.
I just I could figure out how to get the Software Center working, but these solutions assume you're an expert and not a beginner.

Try one of the help forums. They will tear your ass apart so expect that.

@787,725 (Catherine !TGirlYJKXM)The UNIX roots have nothing to do with the GUI as such. Pre-2010 (iirc) Ubuntu had a very conventional GUI (pic related), with 10.04 being the first with window buttons being on the left and looking more and more OS X-ish with subsequent releases.

It is exactly the same as Windows, which is exactly the same as Mac: oh, look! Double click on icons, or click a start button! What a revolution! Wow!
