What would I suggest you do?

- Add the "restricted extras" program so you have all available media codecs.
- Install gnome-tweak-tool so you can have more control your desktop.
- Install synaptic for managing updates and installs.

I read the website https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk which has really good news and information about Ubuntu. Hope this helps!
