I hate Ubuntu >:(

It’s 2018 and Ubuntu still hasn’t figured out that you can’t push buttons that aren’t on the screen.

feeling violated after trying to install ubuntu and wiping out 3 HDs

First I tried to install using Ubuntu’s default/recommended method, it gave me a non-functional GRUB and non-functional Ubuntu OS and multiple HD partitions I didn’t want. Next I tried to install trying to customize so that only a small sector of one HD is used for installation, and it wiped out the said HD as well as 2 HDs I didn’t want the installer to touch. Debian too gave me non-functional GRUB and non-functional OS as well, but I thought Ubuntu install was worse than Debian install even before the loss of HDs. The difference was akin to dealing with a run-of-the-mill drunkard versus dealing with a burly violent drunkard with rapist mentality with omnivorous sexual appetite.

So Ubuntu for a community place?

I’m from Debian (God rest its soul) and Ubuntu, well, came with free CDs in the mail.  10.04 LTS Kubuntu.  In fact, I’m in it right now.  First things first…

1) Why the hell is there a firefox installer in the KDE menu?

2) Why is wine only at 1.2?  Where is wine-unstable?  Backports???? This is suppose to be windows friendly for god sakes there should be a button somewhere that says “INSTALL UNSTABLE STUFF SOURCES HERE”

3) There was no pre-configuration for all of the shit that I just installed and am now running.  *PLOP* Oh look, corey@Guest:~$ ps aux | wc -l
132

Or take a look at this:

corey@Guest:~$ netstat -tapu 2> /dev/null | egrep ’^(udp|tcp)’ | awk ’{$2=“”;$3=“”;$NF=“”;print}’
tcp   localhost:ipp *:* LISTEN
tcp6   localhost:ipp [::]:* LISTEN
udp   *:bootpc *:*
udp   *:mdns *:*
udp   *:34832 *:*

I sure as hell can’t wait until I figure out why there is so much shit.  I might as well go into debian and go sudo apt-cache search a | awk ’{print $1}’ | tr ’\n’ ’ ’ | xargs sudo apt-get install

I think Ubuntu is better off getting KDE ported to DOS 1.0 and then going from there, because if Ubuntu wants to be like Windows/KDE…then ya might as well `rm -fr /` because trying to create shell scripts to manage GUI is not very portable.

I’d get Debian but for christ sakes I don’t have a CD-burner and to buy it costs like $15 and it comes with like 6 CDs.

So I say screw computers, because…No I love my computer don’t I yes yes yes *pets keyboard* that’s right listen to me yes…

So I was thinking about offering my Ubuntu 10.04 CD to a community place in my town…and then after working with Ubuntu I have realized that searching forums for its bullshit is like trying to grep /dev/random for a number sequence.  What the hell happened to a good ol’ `man`…you want to know what happened?  We’re not working with text-files anymore!  We’re not in control!  The GUI is in control.  And GUI can never ever ever ever EVER be managed by a shellscript.  It’s like trying to create a forum bot that managed the semantics of the english language.  Windows 7 is destined to fail.  Ubuntu is destined to fail.  The only OS that has any hope in this world is Debian, and blessed its apt-cache, wajig, dpkg, apt-get, debtags, aptitude, and every now and again synaptic…with REAL policies in the deb tags.

So am I going to introduce Ubuntu CDs to the community place in town to help with installing some OS that’s free? HELL NO!!!  They’re gonna be wasting a ratio of 2 hours : 20 minutes of usage on searching google for Ubuntu bullshit.  They’d be better off ignorant of the idea of a computer.  They’d be better off with Windows 7 that only had IE installed.  In fact they should make an Ubuntu where the only thing that’s installed is X11 where a Firefox window is maximized and the only thing you can do is left-click and type in a Google search.  Giving people options for software crap is like saying, “hey, yo, COME WITH ME!!!  It’s a great place full of so much cool stuff and you’ll love it!” And then you get sucked in and you realize how much time you’ve been wasting trying to find solutions to GUI managed bullshit.  And plus, where are the khotkeys configuration?  I even tried that one on Google, because the service is running, so where the hell are the KEYS!!??  Why isn’t unstable packages on here, or as an options, AM I SUPPOSE TO GOOGLE FOR THAT TOO????????  Ubuntu, do us all a favor and change your Web site to “Ubuntu has been abandoned, we have converted the Ubuntu project funds to give away free Debian CDs.“  Way to go Ubuntu, way to go.

laithk asked: Oh, and one more thing ... that crashed installer is a symptom of a bad installer medium or using a USB drive (does not work with quite a few distros). So just to be safe, burn it to a cd and verify the disc. Also, double-check by running the "check disc for defects option" in the cd boot menu (press any key when you see the white on purple keyboard/person when booting from cd).

Nah.  Windows works fine.

Yes

Why did I let Ubuntu in to my life?!

Partly my fault because I am easily sucked in to things and want to be part of the hype. After reading around forums on how great Ubuntu was I tried it out on USB and liked it. ‘Why not fully install it Stephen, this is a great idea!’. I installed it and was well happy. This soon changed after a laggy response in opening firefox, the software centre and most things. I couldn’t download or simply install anything either. I’m in the middle of my uni project so i saved all of my work on usb pen and emailed it to myself. Tried opening it in Ubuntu and just a couple of weird symbols. crap. This is the same for everything. I need a stat program called SPSS, you cant get it for Linux. crap.

ok.. i’ll make the best from a bad situation and try to improve my lags… after reading 5 forums from 2009 i type in a load of useless commands in terminal to only open up blank document where nothing can be done.

ok…. i’ll revert back to windows 7 but this little legend has only completely deleted it. Yes! So i’m now searching how to install XP but its telling me I have to type more crap in to terminal. Its an absolute nightmare! Everyones happy to persuade you that its great but once you join your given instructions like “yeah you want to reroute the cyberkinetic fibreboard to 0 before enabling the hash mycelium throughout the core drive” (posted 3 years ago so its now super bull$hit). I truly dont understand why you want a OS that has limited programs you can download, you constantly have to tweak and type $hit in. Windows 7 is the bomb for mega noobs like me and linux sucks a$$ IMO. FML

knobster asked: I got suckered into thinking Ubuntu is the greatest as well. Now I'm stuck with this POS operating system. I can't even watch YouTube videos because the whole computer slows down to a crawl and the video starts to stutter. I haven't been able to update in a long time because my /boot is full (while I still have a few hundred gig's of room left on the hard drive) but I cannot find a straight answer on how to empty it out. I hate Ubuntu so much.

Submissions

So I don’t really use Ubuntu much anymore (except on my goddamn server), and I opened this to submissions a while ago.  So some of these posts are by other people now. 

I also don’t use Tumblr very much, however, so I may be Doing It Wrong.  I guess I indicate submissions by tagging them with #submission

Sorry if I’m fucking this up.  At least I’m fucking it up from a Windows machine.
