Wubuntu Windows Ubuntu OS

I took the bait. Downloaded (eventually, I had to use wget) and installed in a VM (VirtualBox). Got Conky and Vim installed as usual - why are these two "essential" progs not included in {X}ubuntu?
Paint.net next. What a shambles. I don't think I'll be continuing with this spin. LMDE6 is good enough.

Got Conky and Vim installed

Oh no! We have a masochist in the group I do not really know anything about Conky, but Vim has always seemed to me something only people who can endure a torturous learning curve can use. Windows and Vim feels like the intro to a bad horror movie

I first used UNIX (SCO) on an early 486 back in the start of time. Vi was the nearest thing to EDT on VAX/VMS. Hence, I use Vim (Vi Improved) now.

I must say I'm feeling less inclined to even download it now, @chris what irked you most?

And I always used to install conky on my systems but I have my own installation image now which includes it, thank you live-build! and I feel the same about Vim as wove really, I have tried it but found it not very instinctive to use, ended up with nano which IMO is much easier to use, but I know it has a large user-base that wouldn't swap it for the world! to each their own

UNIX on a 486, that really is the start of time. My first UNIX was AIX on an IBM hardware, I think it was a Pentium processor, but do not really know. I did not have to do anything with it that would involve VIM. AIX had a CDE UI and GUI apps to do the simple stuff I was involved in.

I have read many articles speaking and showcasing all the wondrous things that can be accomplished with VIM, but when I have looked a using it for myself I alway just get scared and overwhelmed and quickly find myself in full retreat. I think it would have been very beneficial to run into UNIX and Linux earlier where I would have needed to work in a strictly in a text environment.

Watched a number of reviews of Wubuntu and wasnt impressed. Its already getting a lot of bad press with many calling it a scam.

It seems to be dropping further down my priority list to the point it may have actually slipped off...

Havent been on Windows much lately as Im using MX Linux and Chrome OS mostly.
