If you remove the last few words it gives a funny result.

Hehe right, Ubuntu is a huge pile of junk. That's why I stopped using it.

LOL.
Also about the Ubuntu thing. The problem is that it's becoming the MacOSX of Linux. It's too user friendly, defeating the purpose of using Linux (to have more control over your computer even though both still have root access). Also I heard that Canonical is favoring their own software over the long existing and community preferred stuff. It's becoming somewhat commercial too (apparently there are ads in it).
Regarding desktops, it doesn't change the whole distro. I personally prefer using MATE and swapping the default window manager for Awesome. And I don't use much of the MATE software actually since I do so much stuff in the terminal. Even my terminal emu is Konsole (the one from KDE) as I prefer it even though it takes a bit of time on first start.

I can't say the contrary, but it's still very customizable (you can easily kill the user friendly part ) and it is also quite convenient to install (except when your mouse is half recognized ) when you don't have time to setup a whole Linux distro by hand (and nothing prevents you from changing everything afterwards).

I've never seen any ads in it. And what do you mean by favoring software ? You still can install whateer you want, can't you ?

Yes you can do whatever you want. But the default install is not that good to start with. That's why Mint exists mind you.

Did you mean Lubuntu ?
Seriously, Lubuntu is the best distro I ever tried (ok, I only tried 4 (Ubuntu, Lubuntu, Mint and CentOS (this one is a joke)) ).

Also about the ads, I think it's Google-style but in the Unity search bar and you have the option to disable them.

Ah so that's why I never saw them. On my laptop with Ubuntu, I never use that bar, and on my othe laptop, this bar doesn't exist
