I started using Ubuntu about a year ago. I have found it as easy, if not easier, to use than Windows. I've added a printer, an external hard drive, an ethernet network to another Ubuntu workstation, a wi-fi card, etc. Ubuntu consistently accepts the hardware changes without any trouble. I have found it easy to find a good selection of (free) software to run a busy home office and video editing studio. I'm a bit puzzled by the original poster's use of the word "boring," but if that means functional and easy to use, I guess that I would agree.
