Ubuntu Zealot 

A member of the order of Ubuntu, the most devout of the celibate tribes. Followers often tend to live in small packs, often dominated by a matriarch, who by custom, lives in the upper floor of the domicile for twenty to thirty years; although, studies have proven cases often have lifetime arrangements. Members of this order are rarely seen during in the daylight while they practice a self-mutilating practice, performed mostly with thumbs and the use of a biofeedback video device. The most commonly witnessed activity by outsiders, a routine 2 a.m. trip to the corner-shop is known as “nocturnal emission” within the tome of listed rituals. The order preaches it was actually a third lineage of beings that evolved separately from Homo sapiens and the line of apes and other primates. Evidence is scarce, but many scientists accept the possibility upon close examination of the culture.
"Jeff is an Ubuntu zealot. He won't go out with her. He wouldn't know how."

ubuntu'd 

When referring to a computer, the state of having had Ubuntu Linux installed, and more generally, the state of having been made flashy and cute on the outside yet kludgy and destined to fail in surprising ways on the inside - much like a once-reliable car with a new coat of paint and sawdust in the transmission to stop it leaking oil. Or like Linux turned into Windows.

ubuntu'd is a special case of borked, often synonymous when referring to computers or software systems.

Something ubuntu'd is likely to attract the less-informed and gullible user, leading them towards frustration, failure, and asking annoying incredulous questions of anyone who will listen - mostly likely colleagues who restrained themselves to a polite eyebrow-raise in response to said user's announcing their decision to switch.

These users are known as ubuntards, and in some cases their conditions worsen to the point where they are Ubuntu evangelists or ubuntites.
"After turning it on, I heard a snippet of goofy tribal music followed by a pop-up dialog saying the internet is broken - oh no, my computer is ubuntu'd!"

"That bike you found on Craigslist looks ubuntu'd, I wouldn't buy it."

"I left for a week and came back to find the web server ubuntu'd."
