Menu?<br>
<br>
I suppose it is not technically a menu, but there is that
vertical<br>
task-bar-like thing at the left of the screen, and at the
bottom of<br>
that is a pinpad thingy that brings up screens full of
whatever<br>
applications are installed. Unless you remove it, there's
a suitcase<br>
in the task-bar-like thing that allows you to install
more.<br>

<p>Which is why **variants of Ubuntu as flavors** for different DEs,
etc. exist. Bashing the 'vanilla Ubuntu' on that point alone is
not going to help 'improve market share'.</p>
<p>Take Kubuntu Focus, a group that is trying to drive getting
Kubuntu used on to-market systems. Those individuals are
bypassing the "Ubuntu is missing some of these features and pretty
stuff" to push KDE and Kubuntu onto to-market systems.</p>
<p>When discussing 'market share' and 'user base' you have to expand
"Ubuntu Desktop" to be "All Official Flavors of Ubuntu" because
with the exception of Server they all have different DEs that meet
the criterion you're stating.</p>
