   Tried to install Ubuntu on my roomie's secondary computer. First, it failed to install GRUB, so I had to rescue it with boot-repair through Terminal. Then, VLC failed to launch, and I had to fix that through the Terminal. Latest problem? Audio in Ubuntu but no audio in VLC. The most mainstream open source video player on what is supposedly the simplest Linux distribution, and this is the result? Linux is still not ready for the desktop. Sorry, folks.

      This actually used to work BETTER a few releases ago, and now everything seems to be shit. Oh, and no offer to install faster GPU driver, and also, whole OS froze for a minute or two at one point with no explanation.
