This is my interpretation of it. Someone dared to suggest that Windows isn't as difficult to install software on as some Linux folks like to make out, and then you replied with this:
...I'm...
I just love this forum. You can count on people here being objective and actually considering what people say, and not dismissing you as a heretic for daring to speak the truth. Oh wait, I think I'm...
Ok, first of all, as I have said several times, it IS more than just one kernel bug. I specifically referred to the kernel bug as one example of a major bug in an LTS version that will remain...
Nothing at all. If I worked for a large corporation that was trying to corner the market that is already dominated by a rival though, with a view to recovering my investment via corporate support...
It's even more sad that while I made my point clear, so have other contributors to this thread. My point is that quality is slipping and needs to be addressed. Your point, and that of many others, is...
Sorry but that just isn't logical. Somebody who isn't a programmer may well believe this, but it is not logical for the following reasons:
Firstly, the BIOS is not specific to an OS. It is much...
Agreed. But at the same time, Linux has a reputation for being solid and reliable, and Ubuntu is marketed as the best choice. Unlike other distros, Ubuntu is a commercially motivated product. (If you...
What is your screen resolution set to?
I have seen the effect you describe on badly written websites that use lots of layers, and are developed with the assumption that all users will have a...
That's all well and good, and is great for people who have the time, but I just want an OS that works. Ubuntu's official site tells me that Ubuntu is that OS.
I wouldn't know where to begin...
When I accidentally did it, I had to find the package xgl-desktop (or something like that) and uninstall it. You don't need to worry about that though, because the fact that your direct rendering is...
You might be affected by this bug or this bug. Neither of which apparently exist.
Ok. That indicates that your system knows it can get the graphics card to do much of the work, so I'm kind of at a loss now as to why you'd get the issues you describe.
Just out of curiosity, what...
Exactly, I think. What I'm talking about is an issue that affects many people, while at the same time there are many that it does not affect. If there was an issue that seemed to be unique to me,...
I think what is at the heart of it is the determination to move forward as quickly as possible without allowing enough time to ensure that what you've got is rock solid. For example, I suspect there...
I'm not frustrated, more disappointed. I really want some decent OS to kick Windows into touch and bring more choice to the desktops of ordinary users. I thought Ubuntu would be that OS, and it still...
Ah yes. Stock response number 2. "It's your hardware to blame", preceeded only by one more peopular response, stock response #1 "Its your fault you didn't give it a chance".
It is "just me" and...
This is my point. Because it works for many, that fact that for many others it does not work is kind of dismissed as irrelevant.
Not fixing a major bug in the LTS version of an OS that is...
Ok, this is not a rant, just a series of observations I've made over the years. I was just wondering what other people thought.
When I first "discovered" Ubuntu (after nearly giving up on Linux),...
DMA should be enabled by default, but I don't know how to check (someone here will know).
You haven't inadvertantly enabled XGL desktop have you? I did once and lost all my hardware rendering (I...
What video player software are you using? Are you using Totem (appears as Movie Player in the "Sound and Video" menu of a default setup)?
If so, what I always do on a new install is replace the...
Has the kernel issue that causes random freezes in Hardy been fixed yet?

They might not want to develop Linux, and why should they if they don't want to?
How do you know their skills are terrible? They may be extremely talented programmers who just don't have the...
Well, I must say the results so far are quite surprising. A poll on Ubuntu Forums asking which distro will be most successful, surprisingly gives a very clear lead to Ubuntu.
You ask this question on Ubuntu forums. Do expect an unbiased answer?
