I just finally got fed up with Windows and decided to try my luck (again) with Linux.

This time, Ubuntu (8.10 - Intrepid Ibex) came with drivers that recognized my wireless NIC, so I didn't have to fight with getting my network to work. Additionally, the only videogames I play on my PC anymore are Steam games, and I've found ways to get those to work sufficiently as well. Not to mention, Valve has officially stated that they're working on a Linux Steam client (presently, I have to use Wine to run Steam... haven't tried it yet, still working on getting Wine up).

Anyways, anybody else an Ubuntu/Linux user?

I'm a serious Linuxn00b. Gimme some pointers on how to make the transition smooth. Lemme know what apps are a must-have. Show me what's up!
