I just installed Xubuntu on a new laptop. I was blown away at how beautiful it looks in comparison with Ubuntu. I'm very glad to see Ubuntu get over it's fetish for its old ugly color scheme.

Original article: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Brand

Not sure why neither sources or HN links to it.

"Ubuntu dumps the brown" is a particularly bad pun.

It's not actually a pun, but an an unfortunate visualization.

But perhaps I'm just being anal.
