Ubuntu story continues

I shall start from where I left last time. Recap, was facing issue with CPU utilization, every time I change my wallpaper CPU spikes to 100% and even after closing "Change Appearance" window process did not exit keeping CPU overloaded. After lots of googling, got one workaround and it worked. So, these days I am living happily ever after with my dual boot Ubuntu/Window laptop.
The primary reason for installing Linux was to understand: if linux has matured enough to provide cost effective but uncompromising option to users who wants to relinquish costly and hardware sucking Window in near future. After using Ubuntu for quite sometime answer is absolute ‘Yes’. Except few glitches here and there, Ubuntu provide all necessary functionalities one needs from PC and that too without being too Geeky. Ease to use is pretty important things when it comes to be popular whether its machine or people?. I would surely avoid any TV which requires me to spend 3 hours on setup for playing a movie. So with PC why would any normal user require to know kernel architecture to read his mails? Make sense?

PS. I intentionally avoid much of technical detail to keep things easy to read. For anyone who wants to know more on CPU overload workaround, mail me I will be happy to help.
