Ubuntu is polished to a point, kind of like a ball of mud can be polished to a high sheen. There "are" issues that continue to plague Linux in the Desktop department. To say that Ubuntu is polished enough for grandma to really interact with the machine without root is silly IMHO.

I'd be interested in knowing what you are referring to here.


Things like not being able to delete files out of your trash because the permissions are set such that you need to sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/


Linux Mint polishes that ball of mud even more, but your point still stands, I think.
