Get the ubuntu mug.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.

Get the ubuntu'd mug.Microsoft's inside man in the Linux camp. While Canonical (the company behind Ubuntu Linux) appears to be a pro-open source company, in reality they are a Redmondian agent trying to kill Desktop Linux. The Linux crowd, desperate for corporate support as always, fell for the ploy, ignoring all the warning signs:
-In their first steps, Canonical tried to be subtle. They just repackaged Debian -UNSTABLE (read: buggy, incomplete code) instead of Debian -STABLE, and adopted a 6 month release schedule, to ensure bugs won't get ironed out. The Linux crowd ignored these little details and cheered for them.
-Some time later, they started bundling bleeding edge stuff like PulseAudio, and also made sure that clicking the "upgrade" button will trash your computer. "Have we gone too far and risk of our ploy being exposed?" Shuttleworth (Canonical's CEO) thought. However, the Linux crowd mumbled something about "teething problems" and continued to cheer for Ubuntu and Canonical. Shuttleworth was happy.
-Taking it another step too far, Canonical started to mangle the Gnome UI, and then released the worst interface ever (Unity). Surprisingly, this time 'round, the Linux crowd woke up and abandoned Ubuntu. Instead, they moved to Linux Mint, an Ubuntu-based distro which has all the problems Ubuntu has but lacks the Software Center (for whatever it's worth). You can't make that stuff up.
What about Debian -STABLE? It still exists. If you are smart enough to ignore the Ubuntu/Mint fanboys.

Ubuntu fanboy: Look how cool my Ubuntu is. Wha... Where does this Xserver crash came from? Anyway, I guess I can live with that. (6 months later) Look a new version called Ubuntu 13.04 "Sleeping Skunk" came out, I ll just click the upgrade button and... Oh noo!!! (computer fails to wake up after the upgrade, and after a 3 day expedition on ubuntuforums the computer now boots without WiFi and sound). I hate Ubuntu and the Linux operating system. Windows foravar!
Me: Have you tried Debian? You do know that Ubuntu is based on Debian -UNSTABLE which means buggy and incomplete code?
Ubuntu fanboy: But some guys on the internet told me Ubuntu is da shit!

I was crossing the street and almost got ran over by that crazy Ubunga.
My work is always full of smelly Ubungas.
I'm sick and tired of all these Ubungas at the social security office.
