Why is Ubuntu/Kubuntu so popular? It just works.
I agree. There are many nice things that Ubuntu adds and does that make the experiance very nice. Many times we have something just as nice, but they're hidden. For example, Ubuntu makes it easy to install codecs. We have an extremely nice 1-Click Install of all the codecs you need, but it's hard to find. You're lead to the Codecs website of openSUSE, but to find this codec, you have to click on the link to the openSUSE Community website, and navigate to the bottom to find the 1-Click link. With Ubuntu it installs the codec automatically.
We've had this a few times before. Novell can't afford to link the codecs from their website because they're already being sued enough by jerks like sco. Ubuntu is taking a big legal risk, but that's their problem. You're not the one who'll be coughing up a few millions to defend the lawsuit, I assume? Can you give a few other examples where ubuntu is easier to use?
