The one thing that stands out for opensuse is the installer. Its the best one i've come across. Plus SUSE is known for their superb kde implementation. Unfortunately the 12 series is still not as good as 11.4 was.

many things.
bloated. too windows like. weird menu layout. way to distracting (having a jumping ball in your face is not very good manners)

i'd tried a lot to simplify it, and reduce the eye-candy, but it just would not work. finally, i had to ditch it in favor of openbox.

its the default "working/busy" indicator, like the hourglass in windows, except its twice as big, is really bouncy, and changes color.

distracting, useless, and unnecessary.

and there is no option to turn it off, either.

different people different choices. KDE seems simpler to me compared to other DEs. Also, i feel more comfortable configuring it.
That was a long time ago, i too have ditched it favor of openbox. :)

Legend Never Ends
Not really a query but a bit offtipic TBH.

I have a .ISO of Ubuntu 12.04 which I want to install as a "program inside Windows"

thing is the Wubi in the ISO doesn't have this option. so I downloaded Wubi from Ubuntu website, which has this option.

so how do I use this Wubi instead of one on the iso? as when I double click this Wubi, the installer starts downloading Ubuntu :(

extract the iso, replace the wubi and directly run it. Wubi will automatically use the extracted content.
