  #-Link-Snipped-# Thanks sir, by the way; nice word-play. 😀
  
  #-Link-Snipped-# -
  Have you tried testing Ubuntu ? It's GUI is pretty simple, I guess.
  Anyways, Let's cover everything !
  (CLICK ON THE IMAGE TO VIEW IN IT'S ORIGINAL SIZE OR RIGHT-CLICK ON IMAGE & OPEN IN NEW TAB)
  
  - Ubuntu is Linux/Unix based Operating System.
  - Ubuntu by default comes with desktop environment named as "Unity".
  - You can switch to other desktop environments like "Gnome" or "KDE" or "LXDE" as per your taste. (Don't bother understanding this at this moment)
  - When you start Ubuntu, on left-side panel what you see is known as "Unity Application Launcher panel". It looks something like :
  
  This is similar to desktop shortcuts in Windows.
  
  - The top most button in Unity Launcher Panel is called "Unity Home" which looks like:
  
  This is similar to "start menu" button in Windows.
  
  - When you click on "Unity Home" the "Unity Lens" pops which looks like :
  
  
  In bottom of Lens, you'll see many different tabs like Recents,Movies,Files,Sound,Amazon,etc.
  Click on second option as given in figure :
  
  By clicking on it, you can access all Installed Applications & Recent Applications. (All newly installed apps can be accessed from this bar)
  
  - Installing Softwares : You might've noticed that, even though your internet connection is healthy you're unable to download apps from Ubuntu center, right ?
  Before installing applications, you have to update your Ubuntu Repository (what the hell is Repositories ? Ignore it or Google it - your call).
  For that, Open Terminal & type :
  

   sudo apt-get update 

  Be sure that internet is working. This will update the repository file to latest.
  
  Now you can install applications from Ubuntu Software center, looks something like:
  
  & clicking on it will open something like
  
  
  Search the Applications & hit on "Install" & App will be installed.
  
  Can't Play Songs or Videos ? Codecs Missing ? :
  In Ubuntu Software Center, search for "Ubuntu-restricted-extras" & hit on download.
  Now your Ubuntu is set up for ride 😉
  
  I assume you understood now that how ubuntu works.

  STILL FIND UBUNTU MESSY ?
  WELL, I HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE : LINUX MINT 14 NADIA
  
  Yeah, to the people moving from Windows to Linux, this is perfect choice.Why ?
  1) It is community driven Operating System which is an derivative of Ubuntu.
  2) It uses very simple "Windows-like" user Interface but very neat & fast.
  3) It has Ubuntu Repositories which means "Endless Applications"
  
  I am using Linux Mint & Ubuntu both, so check some screenshots of my Linux Mint 14 Cinnamon GUI :
  
  
  Welcome to Linux, Most people can't survive in our beautiful world & I don't know why.
  Anyways, I hope you survive ! 👍
