\r
Note that Ubuntu 14.10 isnt much of a change from the previous version however big changes are coming soon for Ubuntu with MIR display server replacing Xorg server and X Window display, the introduction of Unity 8 and the move to systemd\r

The mother in this video uses Windows 8.0 (new) as her main os however she has installed the classic shell due to her Metro Hate. Would you like to see her try out Linux, Mac, Windows or other operating systems through history such as FenOS (new)? Then give your suggestions in the comments section. Give this video lots of likes, views, favorites and comments if you want my mum to try out other operating systems. I am open to any operating system suggestions you give especially if these videos go semi-viral (over 100,000 views). This channel is dedicated to me introducing people (mum, dad, me) to different operating systems they have never used before and leaving them to suffer in confusion struggling to do anything in an unknown computer environment. or see if these other operating systems are better than Microsoft Windows.\r

The father in this video uses Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite on an early new macbook white 13 inch. He only uses his computer to read emails and watch youtube videos. He doesnt know the first thing about operating systems.
