Recently, I made a post about how Linux on the Desktop (LotD) has been getting closer. I’m starting to think that I was wrong, and that LotD has already appeared in the form of Ubuntu.

Now, I’m not the only one that thinks this way. My friend Matthias recently posted on how Ubuntu told him he needed to charge his wireless mouse.

Jorge Castro has been talking about this for quite a while now. I’ve always considered him to be a bit of a Gnome and Ubuntu fanatic, so until recently, I’ve always taken the things he says with a grain of salt (well, I still do, but it’s a smaller grain).

So, what brought this change about? Ubuntu’s Edgy Eft release. Yeah, Dapper was polished, but it just felt like some things were either missing or just didn’t work the way I thought they should. Well, those complaints have mostly disappeared.

So, starting tomorrow, as a semi-regular feature (at least for now), I’m going to be posting some of the things that make Ubuntu a Linux desktop for me.
