So feedback on Ubuntu 14.04

I ran xubuntu on a laptop I got yesterday for a steal, managed to get chrome installed but the flash errors got too much and I ended up reverting to mint :( It wouldn't install through terminal or the ubuntu centre I had to use the deb on chrome's site despite it was saying it was available in the software centre when installing it installed none the less.

Are you running x64 out of interest?
 
I did an upgrade from 13:10 and as the upgrade finished i got an error saying something about Kernal header failure. Rebooted and loaded to just a wallpaper and a cursor. Everything else dead.

Clean re-installed (separate /Home) no probs but upon re-installing Chromium the Missus Facebook games wouldn't work (Flash no longer supported) and that as you all know is the End of the Freakin World !

So.. Removed Chromium and installed Chrome - Problem solved.

Missus turned machine on this morning and.... Freeze.
Updates failed to fetch.
Changed to Main Server - Solved

Thunderbird failing to load and freezing whole system - Removed and Re-installed - Solved

And.... Here we are !

It does seem snappier but I can't see any other benefits !

[Edit]

Oh.. couldn't get ttf-mscorefonts to install !

[Re-Edit] Fonts - Solved

Didnt have too many issues when I upgraded my laptop yesterday from 13.10 - 14.04 however it did remove my changes to the colours of the Software Center and VLC has stopped working
 
OK, chromium is now available for me and I am very happy.
Feels a little snappier than 13.10 but that may just be my head saying 14.04 is better
 
I installed probably hours after it launched (fresh install) and chromium wasnt there in the software centre.
It is now though and has installed and worked fine.
