I have (almost) never used my computer for playing games and rarely
watch anything from youtube and never have I even wanted to view
on-demand TV movies, so I certainly do not fit into the category
that perhaps Ubuntu intends to serve. 

OK! so I know I am an an old fuddy-duddy, I am after all getting on
for 80 years, but I have just bought an e-reader (a Sovos as it
happens) so am not too far behind the times.

X handles all the apps I am ever likely to want pretty well.
