Love Linux, hate the vocal minority!

Might I suggest a Dvorak Keyboard instead... if you want true geekness.

I want an intuitive UI that makes it obvious what to do. I dont think that is asking too much really

It's asking quite a lot — I haven't seen any GUI with equivalent power and flexibility to command line piping and redirection. Mac OS's Automator is probably closest but that is more geared towards repeatable workflows than ad hoc commands.

If you are just referring to a graphical shell equivalent to Windows then try a new copy of Fedora with GNOME — you'll be surprised at how easy-to-use and non-geeky the GUI is. In day to day use I find it less intrusive than either Windows or OS X and no harder to learn — in fact probably easier.

The next major release of Ubuntu will not ship with local-host authentication, instead, all shell commands must be submitted via Twitter.

Yeah like I said there may be flavours of Linux out there that are much more user friendly than whatever it was I used a couple of years ago though at the moment I've no interest in spending any time setting them up and using them because I'm perfectly happy with Windows

Also you need to become a fan to actually get the next Ubunutu release.
