Yep. I'm new to linux. Just istalled Ubuntu on an old laptop a couple weeks ago (after trying about 10 other distributions) and have found it (fronted with GNOME) pretty easy to use, update and maintain, but there are some features that are missing that particularly annoy me. Mainly, the inability to drag application windows to other virtual desktops. I mean, come on, just about every Windows shell replacement (BlackBox for Win, LiteStep, etc) allows you to do this. Why not GNOME?
I'm considering installing and using KDE for a while just to see how well it works. As 3.4 seems to work more like Windows' GUI (from looking at the screenshots), it might actually be a better choice for new users.
