I recently helped my friend install his first Linux distro, Ubuntu. He told me he could not log in, and he kept getting back to the login page. I realized that he might be having problems related to his display manager installed by default. I made him go to virtual console and replace the default display manager so that he can start his desktop environment session without getting stuck in a display manager loop.

I did not like my own Ubuntu experience when I was using few years before as well. I don't think its stable enough for newcomers as well.
