I've been using (X)Ubuntu for ages. I just wanted something that "just works". Tired of too much tinkering and there's plenty of (non commercial) support. Mixing it with i3 as my window manager.

You can also use something like notifyd to generate a pop up for visual feedback :) I can't remember the exact command right now though. Differs per distro or desktop environment, obviously.

Although, Hegseth (or whoever wrote it) does a wonderful job with all the random Capitalization Everywhere.
