Description
My ubuntu 12.04 screen at my mini laptop. To the left is the program launcher, to the right short cuts to some folders. As wallpaper I have the fractal Winter Droplets of maybe Winter Droplets brighter
I haven't upgraded to 14.04, the latest Long Time Support yet, but I've installed on some other Laptops Ubuntu is at the moment the most popular version of GNU/Linux.The word “ubuntu” comes from the Zulu language and means “human-ness” or “human kindness”. It also is a South African party. See also this journal

Oh, so that's how Ubuntu looks like! I really like the side bar ( I have it like that in Windows ).

Yep, same with Windows. I tried it myself, but I prefer to have it there all the time.

That's a matter of taste and how big screen you have
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's a normal laptop screen. Most people who see my desktop say it's boring, but I love it! For the record, that Dollars sign has nothing to do with the money, it's just something anime-related, lol.

I just installed this on a laptop for my niece. The only complaint that she has given me over it, is that she can't watch Netflix on it.
I hope to do a duel boot of it on a laptop that my brother is handing down to me.
Is yours a duel boot, or single OS?

ooh, nice
You have actually the option to install Ubuntu as dual boot. I haven't tested it my self. The mini lap I took the screen shot from I got secondhand at 2011 with Ubuntu 10 on (it had originally XP). Then I have just upgraded the distributions 
Here in Sweden people jut through away there laps when the support of XP runs out or due to that Vista is to slow. In that case I think it's a god idea to recycled the hardware , blow Windows away and install Ubuntu

I don't know if it was Wine, but I tried to do something like that, and it was dependent for the computer to have been a duel boot with a Windows OS.
But the answer with Chrome worked, so thank you for the advice.
My niece doesn't do much on the computer and since it comes with an office, I don't need to install any other programs.

Wine does nor require a dual boot
OK, Shouldn't Chrome be plattforms independent? Or maybe not. Chrome is probably the fastest browser, but I don't use it cause of the "Big Brother" (NSA) spying, but Firefox which also come with Ubuntu. For that reason I also use Start Page instead of Google 
Libre Office (the same as Open Office) comes with Ubuntu

I don't like chrome that much at the moment.
I used Opera for a long time, and then it developed issues when they changed some code. So I tried chrome and it seems to have issues of it's own and I missed my old version of Opera.
So now I'm stuck using IE. I'm finding myself liking it, just because it works for me right now. But this is the first time in like 18 years that it is my browser.
I saw that there was an office included, but I didn't dig deep enough to realize that it was OpenOfice. It's what I have installed on my computer too.

I have a fellow on my job that is very much into Opera. he says that every news in the world of browsers is first developed on Opera. Ha maybe at least partly right, I dunno. When I got my new stationary I first tried Opera, but aftre a while I went back to Firefox .love: Chrome I had to uninstall several times, cause I got it installed when installing other software, as Adobe Reader (if I remember right) 
I never installed MS Office on my new statonary, but Open Office. I have no problems to move odt-documents forward and back between my stationary and my ubuntulaptop, the document format (odt) being the same. For some years ago there was a "split" of that Office pack when oracle took over Open Office. Libre Office is also available on Windows. Moreover the Epost client Thunderbird comes with Ubuntu ..

I had Firefox too. I had it before Opera, but it was crashing or was slowing down my system, so I tried others.
That lead me to Opera and Chrome. Now I'm down to IE. I may go back to Firefox. I was gone for so long that when I saw it the other day, I saw some new updates.
I don't care how people know how I'm using my computer. As long as they don't arrest me I'm good or steal what little money I have.
I'm way old enough for porn, but the line can be dodgy for what is or isn't illegal and then there are the pop ups that you don't want to see, but the computer just records as accessed. Other than that, I really don't care.
As for office, I haven't use MS Office in years. That is just because I couldn't afford it, and couldn't find a disk, I think I have, so I got Open Office and I just kept on use it. I have no issues with it. Currently. At one point, actually two, it forgot how to spell, but I know how to fix it now and of course it hasn't happened since. I hope it stays that way.
And Thunderbird is the mail client that is from the same people that make Firefox. Mozilla. I remember when I first saw it. It felt like Netscape. But then, it's still the same people. But I have never had to use it, so I haven't.

You really have experience of the most common browsers. Ooh that was bad, may be different now if you have another newer OS. For some years ago IE was very slow, and at that time Firefox was faster but that may have been changed
Well 
Glenn Greenwald: Why privacy matters
But so far we have no World Govenment, so ..
Yeah, in that subject, the line may be very dodge, and probably fractal
I never use a later version than the one I got with may job computer for 15 yers ago. I was disturbed by the way it predicted my way in mostly wrong ways 
You are right regarding Thunderbird. Most people using web mail don't use any e post client, I think
