I think the OP has a lot of confusions about the "vendor", "operating system" and very suprisingly with "linux" and "ubuntu" generalization.

I can understand the first two, but can't seem to understand one who has 8 years of xp with linux is able to generalize "ubuntu" with all of the other linux operating systems.

Quite the waste of my time to read this, nothing gained for me other than the thought of "hackernews top posts are going bad" sadly.

> The bottom line , the computer was full of crappy Lenovo and other brands software that just gets in my way and i don't want to use. Even worse after about 2 days some of the bundled Lenovo apps started crashing once in a while. I know this issue is not related to microsoft, and i am not blaming them for this.

It's pretty clear that he distinguishes Microsoft from Lenovo. There's nothing specific that I can point to, but it seems that he knows the difference between Linux and Ubuntu, also.

I can clearly read that he was devastated about the Lenovo bloatware aorund 3rd day and 1 for Microsoft & No network problem. I assume more of a vendor issue than microsoft caused this tiredness.

And Ubuntu is a really distinguished linux distro for its ease of usability and general driver compatibility; not like most of other greatly used linux distros, which care more of power users than everyday users.

It's why I've had my parents using Xubuntu for the past 4 years. There haven't been any Big Problems. Calling Xubuntu Ubuntu might be cheating, but it's the same thing minus Unity.
