I hate Ubuntu >:(
“I don’t see why we should support tiling in Gnome. Compiz can do it.”
Unless Compiz doesn’t work, of course.

“Set as fallback”? Is that supposed to mean something like “Set as default”?
Oh, that’s exactly what it means?
I see.

In Windows, I can upgrade to Firefox 3.5 (the single piece of software that I use more frequently than any other) or Thunderbird 3.0 the day they are published.

In Ubuntu, I get to wait 4 or 5 months for it to trickle down with the next release.

(Of course, you should never upgrade on the day of an Ubuntu release.  How naïve!  You have to wait at least a few more months until they iron some of the bugs out.  (But not all of the bugs.  Those will have to wait until the next release…))

I keep pushing “Authenticate”, but the window doesn’t go away.

Both of my Ubuntu computers have locked up with unresponsive black screens in the past few days.  Thanks to the latest 2.6.31-20 kernel, or just more of the same old random failures?

I like how old kernels are never removed when you update them, leaving lots of options that nobody uses in the GRUB menu and hundreds of MB of hard disk wasted.  It should offer to remove older kernels after you’ve been using the new one successfully for a few weeks/months.

Sometimes I’ll move the mouse pointer with the touchpad, and when I stop moving, the mouse keeps going in the same direction, resulting in my clicking the wrong thing.

This pops up constantly. Not in Windows, of course. Just in Linux.

Ahhhhh, back to normal.
