- reddikilowatt, on 11/14/2008, -0/+1Overall, I'm mostly happy with Ubuntu and Canonical's way of doing things. I don't have a whole lot of experience with modern (post Y2K) distros, but right from the start I've had no problems with stability, and none of the problems I've had with hardware have been deal breakers, although I was getting a little frustrated with some of the smart power options not working, and my HDD suffers from the load_cycle_count bug (still). But it wasn't until Windows XP that I could count on suspend to disk working on every machine out there, and I'm not running on any real exotic hardware.
Besides, I'm the kind of person who enjoys fixing problems. - php4me, on 11/13/2008, -0/+1I too am getting worried about Ubuntu. I believe their strategy may be to purposely introduce regressions and leave bugs unfixed, in order to gather support money. It is in interesting financial strategy. Get em hooked, break it, make em pay to fix it.
Intrepid did come with an upgraded set of icons though. Canonical also came out with Netbook Remix. I don't think a new theme/interface is really very important though. They need to focus on stability at this point. Throwing in more and more features is starting to strain Ubuntu. I am having to reboot it more and more and dozens of little glitches are annoying me... so now all of a sudden I want to pay for support ... but its too expensive... what to do? :)
I think Ubuntu should focus their next release (9.04) on stability and speed. Make things work right again. Then once that is done start putting out a new theme, throw in Avant or Cairo and clean up the Gnome Panel so it actually remembers your icons. There are a billion things they need to do and I applaud them for tackling such a large workload. I just hope Canonical gets its priorities straight and goes easy on the new features for a while.
