Ubuntu-My new primary OS

[SunnyChahal]

I tried this OS(7.04 Feisty) back in September 2007 and messed it all up.i felt that it is only meant for geeky guys and not for gamers like me.Then after 2-3 months i again tried it(gusty 7.10) and found it to be quite impressive but i used it with default theme with no effects nothing.Then i discovered compiz and all then.I didnt know much about Command line which now i find as a better way to interact with your OS..On December 24 2007 i got my new pc,i tried installing ubuntu on it but graphics and all that problems didnt let me install it.Then on 7th March 2008,the DAY my exams got over,Anirudh(infra) and Prakash(praka123),made it happen.I was ale to install ubuntu and gt it working.In these 2 days i have learned a lot abt ubutnu and using linuxI messed up with some things a few times but praka123 helped me out and finally with the help of dark star's ubuntu cust. guide i have this desktop-

I found ubuntu faster,Prettier(with all effects on),more user friendly(at least for me) and more surprisingly easer than windows!!
Nowadays i only play UrT,so no gaming hassles with ubuntu.I have 8 more holidays left coz exams got over on 7th ,so ill try and learn 'wine' too.
Windows is only for gaming from now.For everything else,ubuntu Zindabaad!!
Im quite new to this OS so i will ask many noobish questions.Plz forgive me for that.Dont worry ill ask on this thread only.
Just wanted to share my experience,NO SPAMMING INTENDED
Suggestions and comments are welcome.

Take My advice if you are into serious gaming then Linux is not for you.

What r u talking???
Ubuntu is the Best OS i have used till date.nowadays i dont play much.GUN ,UrT ,BLIC05 and from 2mrw assassin's creed are the only games i play.I find ubuntu faster ,pettier and in every aspect better than windows.I will try n learn wine too.I am not a serious gamer and wont die if i wont play crysis.
