Ubuntu 12.04 usability testing from a wannabe administrator point of view

This video shows me trying to install node.js and yeoman on my brand new System76 Lemur laptop. In retrospect I can see that I make a lot of errors, but maybe this session can shed light on why they occured and how to improve usability of Ubuntu so as to reduce the risk of them reoccurring for others.

Let me descent into a rant:
Ubuntu sure has it's fair share of bugs. Like - why can't I alt+tab to an open terminal window?? And how can visiting kickstarter.com in Chrome freeze the whole OS so I need to do a cold reboot..? In my humble eyes Ubuntu seems to be of a very low standard, compared to Windows, and I don't see it improving in 12.04. For various reasons though, Ubuntu is the best/only choice I have at the moment.
