This shit is unacceptable. Unity is shit. GNOME is more crippled than ever (the UI team must be having an internal "most crippled interface" contest). Xubuntu is dysfunctional. Should I even bother trying KDE4 or is it still crashing every 20 minutes like last time I checked?

How about too-cool-for-package-signing ArchLinux?

Ubuntu is meant to be good enough for average computer users who need to be social and enjoy rich media experiences.
Go install linux you fucking nerd.

Ubuntu is GNU/Linux you fucking moron. Now go scrub another mental midget you human toilet.

this is false, I actually ``invented'' this ``meme'' because I actually invented almost all the memes on /prog/ and when I said it people copied me.

Installing Ubuntu and expects somethning good

Only reddit is stupider than this shit.

That's why they have bugs like "sorry guys, we forgot to include icons in your icq client, so all buttons are invisible"

Okay, so you hate Linux. That's all cool and dandy, but why do you feel the urge to tell people not to use Linux?
It's not your business, so do something useful instead.
>>13
Then how about you just stick to archlinux instead of shitting up all technology boards like only an autist would do?
Absolutely nobody gives a flying fuck about your pointless opinion. Archlinux are pretty much like gentoo users, constantly bitching about absolutely uninteresting shit.

hey guys not to derail this thread any further but my ubuntu is actually updating RIGHT NOW you have 20 minutes to tell me what is wrong with 11.10 please!!!!!!!!
The only solution is to clumsily open up a gnome-terminal (or if you are a h4xx0r use /dev/tty[1-6]), and type in: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop && reboot

Hey autist, I'm complaining about it but I'm going to stick with it anyway (not like I have a choice, Debian is slow as fuck and every other distro is shit, and yes, that includes yours). I'll just try to somehow tone down KDE4 so it doesn't consume 150% of my netbook's 1GB of RAM.

I would actually use the terminal in Lunix since the GUI is written by retards who don't anything about user interface and usability.
Plus its ten times slower than XP,and every little app takes as much memory as half of XP system procesess(about 30-40mb).

Why in the hell Linux widgets are so rubish, compared to slime MacOSX UI?!! The corners of Linux buttons look like they were chewed up by rats, window layouts bloated with crap, some buttons take half a window, text is always misaligned, font hinting disabled. Yeah, baby, that is Linux - the ugliest OS ever done by man.

Just do the only sane thing left to do and switch to KDE4.

Unity is annoying as fuck. I tried modifying one of the settings (transparency or some shit), and now it just stopped working. I got pissed and completely removed it, and now life is so much easier.

You know, you're a dickhead. BUT a dickhead who seems to speak the truth sometimes.
I just upgraded Ubuntu; And naturally logged into what used to be called ``Ubuntu-classic'' (ye olde gnome2 interface).
But apparently, that too has been replaced with a total rewrite, making it look like a poor spinoff off the real thing, Gnome2.
I tried installing ``gnome, gnome-core'' and co, but no avail.
If I could fly/drive to whereever those Unity devs sit around, I'd do it in an instant. I'd bring a baseball bat spiked with rusty nails, and SMASH THEIR STUPID HIPSTER PRICK FACES GODDAMN I'M SO ANGRY RIGHT NOWHWDFKWEFUHQEWIFDHKENKF
Anyway, you can see where this is going: I hope canonical gets their shit together, and either releases fixes so people can install and actually use Gnome2, or it'll be KDE4 for me.
I use Kubuntu right now, it's better than Ubuntu but still not quite there yet. I'd like to switch to a cooler desktop environment but i'm too lazy really... what else is good in linux land?

I have a dream that my four little boxen will one day surf on an internet where they will not be judged by the name of their distro but by the content of their /home.
