At least one thing worked for me today. I read about Ubuntu Studio and I really like its artwork. I won’t be doing much multimedia work on the laptop so I followed the instructions that I found about installing the Ubuntu Studio theme and it worked like a charm. However, aside from the login screen, wallpaper, icons, and the theme itself, I didn’t seem to have picked up the other good stuff, especially the beautiful Usplash and Gnome-Splash.
