5. If Ubuntu is too boring, try Gentoo

Or arch, or BSD, or...

Ubuntu is made to compete with the look and feel of major commercial distributions, which means that even though it's all Linux underneath, the Unity interface really isn't meant to give the configuration options of something like KDE or even Gnome.

If you're bored, try learning to really leverage the command-line, which is an amazingly powerful tool that I can guarantee that you didn't learn in the span of 6 months.

In short, Ubuntu is only meant as a *gentle* introduction to Linux and Open Source computing. Being bored means you've just never really left the kiddie pool
