Dear Ubuntu.
This is not a flame. It is a Dear John letter.
I have used Ubuntu on and off since forever ago. Usually quite pleasantly, at first. Then usually I get distro wanderlust and head off for another lover.
This time, I came back to you for Lucid. Our time together was so brief I can't even call it a fling. You installed fine and felt familiar. I wasn't sure about the whole interior design thing, kind of rearranged your living room with those window buttons on the left now. But it was okay, I didn't mind. And the purple? Well, it was a change.
But then I tried to close the lid and go to sleep with you and you really, really let me down. My fan just kept running and that cute little moon kept flashing. You left my screen all aglow.
So that's it. I'm leaving you. I'm through. These days, with laptops having a majority share of the market, there's just no excuse for a release with a show-stopping bug on my little Thinkpad. And from hundreds of posts I've found on forums around the internet, it seems you're doing the same thing to Dell and Toshibas. You obviously don't care for my feelings.
If you need me, I'll be at Debian's.
