Tried to use, but can't really get use to it. Any suggestions? 
What are your most used apps? I struggled with it for a week and then finally got settled in. There is a stack overflow section for ubuntu so if you have any questions you can ask there.

If it is photoshop, gimp is a good alternative, and for nvida
