You are right, and therefore I wouldn't do that. A useful user name
(not "Ubuntu") is IMHO sufficient.

Ok, for me there is no difference between "Susan Taylor" and "John
Doe", they both sound like real names to me and they are both better
as "Ubuntu". But in the end, you and other native speakers have to
decide which name is useful for the manual.

Sure, this should be clear, IMHO.

Greetings, Carsten
