Hi. Yeah, I'd say that Boutique takeaway definitely sucks, as that was one of the advantages I listed to a user looking for the right distro–
Also, the UM OS has the Software Boutique where only the most popular apps are included.
The Welcome screen provides a button to install codec, so you can watch DVD's and other things.
I didn't know they did that—it was great! Now I know to hold onto Jammy for as long as I can.
