Things that you dislike in Ubuntu

[PIE09gbLmgG6]

Wish there was an easier way around the 30gig wubi install...my 200gig dropbox sputtered out quick...accessing via web is tedious...

That'prob not a ubuntu thing but a microsquish fail...so prob doesn't count.

But I do have to mention Unity... I hate it so much that it's the first thing that I change upon install.

Unity,plus stuff migrates from desktops..Once Skype got stuck between desktops and I could not get it as it would whiz by when I switched desktops.
I finally had to reboot and restart Skype.

There is, download a ~750MiB iso, and do a proper install.

I just hate Ubuntu all together. I'm not computer savy, so putting in codes and stuff is mind boggling, it's not as popular as windows so I don't get the help a beginner needs with Ubuntu, Ubuntu's connection with my internet just started acting weird for the past couple of weeks, and it deleted my music out of nowhere. =_= Tell me, what is there to like about this when you're a computer noob?

I've been using Ubuntu on both of my computers for a very long time (since 4.10) but I suddenly decided to try Fedora on my laptop and I am very astounded by the feel, ease of use and responsiveness of the Gnome shell. I feel that Unity is way behind. Now I suddenly cannot understand why Ubuntu didn't go with the Gnome shell. So to sum it all up, I now suddenly realized I really don't care for Unity.

Challenge?
Possibility to evolve from your noob status?
No viruses?
Instant security?
Preinstalled free apps?

Sounds like you were the victim of a troll.
Trolls can easily disguise bad commands as "solutions," and you did say you put in "codes," so I would not be surprised.
Or, if you use a cloud service, you could have been the victim of account hacking (when you delete stuff on cloud services, it is deleted on all machines it is synchronized on).
Also, have you looked in the trash for the files yet?

DouglasAdams,
I should have been more precise:
after I had 12.04 installed, I installed the xfce DE, logged into that and then I uninstalled unity-desktop (and a bunch of other stuff I don't like, like zeitgeist) via synaptic.

I agree with Ubun2to--you might have been misled by someone. Another possibility is that you might have accidentally dragged and dropped your music at some point. I did the same with one of my major folders--couldn't find it for weeks, assumed I deleted it, restored from backup, then later had to reconcile the two copies...argh...but then, that can happen as easily in Windows as in Ubuntu.

By "putting in codes", I assume you mean typing stuff at the command prompt? That isn't necessary for most basic stuff in Ubuntu--you should be able to spend almost all your time in the GUI like I do. Now if you experience a problem and ask for advice, people will likely give you command-line instructions, because they're more universal. Ubuntu desktop environments vary a lot more than Windows ones do, so giving instructions for how to do something in the GUI can differ a lot. If someone gave you instructions saying to click the Applications menu, then System, then Symantec--and you didn't have Symantec in that menu, or didn't have that menu--you'd have to write back saying so, and wait for a response. Instead, if they give you the terminal commands to run, it'll work for most people. It's less comfy than using the graphical interface, but should work for anyone.

I agree with thepost by Ubun2to and peyre.
There are many things Ubuntu does, but randomly deleting files has never been one of them.
