As long as I can turn it off. I never really liked the ribbon bar much on Office. I like the logical non changing manner of the standard menu layout (probably same reason so many people liked the "Start" menu on Windows XP).

The Microsoft Office ribbon was officially introduced in Office 2007 as a way to make working with the productivity suite easier. Microsoft called the new interface “Fluent UI,” grouping all toolbars into a single one with multiple tabs providing quick access to the essential features.

On the hunt for a desktop YouTube music player that works on Ubuntu (or another Linux distribution)?  Check out Kaku, which OMG! Ubuntu! reader  PyGeek03  tipped us to via our mail bag. He writes:  “…s omeone has created a new and fully-functional app for playing music from Youtube:  Kaku . In fact, this app even has its own Numix icon! Beside features available with Atraci, there’s a list of Top Ranking tracks on the Home page, and a feature called Online DJ, which enable you to share what you’re listening with other people (I haven’t check this feature out yet). You can also choose whether to backup your data to Local or Dropbox in Settings. While the video is playing, you can view it in Fullscreen mode (which is more like Focused mode, because I can only switch to other running apps using Alt + Tab, but not Plank), TV mode (which enlarge the video to fill the whole window), cast to other device, or open the video in your default browser.” Kaku Features YouTub...

Ubuntu is the more well-known of the two distros, but Linux Mint is also one of the most popular out there. Both provide users with a great introduction to Linux.

This number does  not  count Android as Linux. That suggests that more users are flocking to the traditional Linux desktop (or that a lower percentage are using others). Does this mean Linux has reached a point where it can replace Windows and Mac OS X for the average user? As a native Windows user who switched to Linux several years ago, I’d say the answer is yes! Let me tell you why. Is Linux Finally Good Enough to Replace Windows ?

Discover the range of industries, people and services that are using Ubuntu right now. Netflix .  Snapchat .  Dropbox .  Uber .  Tesla …and the International space station – what do they all have in common? They run on Ubuntu. To celebrate our upcoming 16.04 LTS we wanted to shine a bit of light on how many people in the world actually use Ubuntu.

However the reality is, hundreds of millions of  PCs, servers, devices, virtual machines, and containers have booted Ubuntu to date and are in use!
