The time has come to start looking forward, Windows 7 has been laid to rest. Microsoft would adore for PC clients to move up to Windows 10, and for some individuals, that is not a shabby thought.

Ubuntu is one such distro utilising that DE, and the working framework has for some time been picked by those changing to Linux. Clients have appeared to change in accordance with GNOME fine and dandy from both the Old world and Metro-y world of Windows.
