I'm sure many of you already know about Pinguy OS, but for those that don't here it is. Antoni Norman does a great job on this distro:

inguy OS is an Ubuntu remaster that uses GNOME Shell (3.10) by default, customized with extensions such as Gno-Menu, Media Player Indicator, Top Icons and more. It comes with many useful applications and tweaks by default, making Pinguy OS a great alternative for those who don't like to tweak or install applications but want everything to work out of the box.
inguy OS 14.04 ships with some new tweaks by default:
- Neflix works out of the box thanks to Pipelight;
- Peerflix is installed by default and so are the Firefox scripts which we've covered recently, which allow opening torrent files in Firefox and playing them directly with VLC;
- TRIM is enabled for SSDs;
- Liquid Prompt is used by default by the GNOME Terminal;
- The Filebot scripts which we covered recently are included;
- A data recovery script that uses TestDisk is included with Pinguy OS 14.04.
These are the new tweaks included with Pinguy OS 14.04 but there are many other tweaks / apps that improve the user experience available by default such as TLP (a tool that applies various tweaks to your laptop to save battery power), zram-config, preload (a daemon that stores the frequently used files in memory for faster startup times) and Profile Sync Daemon.
Pinguy OS 14.04 also ships with some new default applications: GNOME Do, Filebot (an application that allows you to back rename movie and TV show files) and Plex (with various customizations such as the UnsupportedAppstore), which has replaced XBMC:
