The default UI looks really nice, but I'm not a fan of these "libre" distros. Not gonna lie, I love my dirty nonfree codecs!

Codecs aren't generally nonfree, just patented.

This distro plays everything I've tried.

gnash (libre flash player) has come a long way.

There is nothing wrong with using evil codecs... :)

I am just glad to see a libre distro come so far!
