Nothing fancy, I love the clean and simple look. Very comfortable and easy on the eyes. If you have any questions, feel free to drop a comment.

I haven't used Ubuntu since 10.04, how is 12.xx?

Much better in many aspects like better driver support and everything pretty much seems to work out of the box. They have introduced a new Software Center which seems to be pretty neat, although it's still a little slow for my taste. I'm also not too big on "Unity" which is set as default after you install, so I had to download "Gnome Shell" because I find it to be much easier and comfortable to use, not to mention it looks much better.
A lot seems to happening for the open source community right now. After Steam released their Linux native client I can see how companies may see Linux as a potential market and will hopefully start developing games for us. It's definitely growing, it's good, I like it and I'm staying. :)

I've tried Unity. It's alright. My biggest gripe about the *nix systems is the lack of driver support. It took me about a week to get the drivers up and running on my HD6790, because ATI takes months to release drivers for Linux, and when they do it barley works at all.

Yeah ATI have always been ones to slack on their driver support for Linux, I have some bad memories on that subject, but that was all the way back in 8.04 Hardy Heron. I'm currently on a Intel HD3000 so I can't be exactly sure of how the ATI drivers are doing at the moment, but I've heard there are some pretty good proprietary drivers for these cards which automatically get suggested to you in the Additional Drivers section. Still, a thing I love about Linux is the awesome community which will always be there to offer support if you can't get something working.

If I could find a flash drive, or an empty CD, I'd be willing to try 12.10. I have a GTX660M from Nvidia, and I've heard good things about Linux support.
