Okay, so relatively new then. Cool, no worries.

The "new Ubuntu crap" is actually pretty good. You should take a look at it.

How is that "new?"

Anyway, no, the new Ubuntu crap is mostly just that. This isn't a mere idea; I teach IT and every semester I require folks to use a Linux desktop. Mint, MX, Lubuntu and Ubuntu, the occasional Arch are all in testing rotation; over the past few years Ubuntu/Gnome give me the most trouble -- they just suck at backwards compatibility.
