And now for some words on Ubuntu

[foxfirefey]

The new Unity interface is stupidly shit. If you woke up one day and thought, "Gosh, I'd really like to make using my universal general-purpose computer that I can do ANYTHING with feel like I'm using a locked-down phone running an obsolete version of Android through the clunky mechanism some l33t h@xx0r used to jailbreak it, I can't think of a better user experience," this gets you quite a lot of the way there.

Context is not singing the praises of Nutty Narwhales.

Oh, Ubuntu. The OS that drives me bonkers, even though I love it.

^THIS.

I'm perfectly happy with Ubuntu, until one of two things happen: I have to install any sort of hardware or peripheral, or I have to use Gimp. Either of those will send me into hair-tearing frustration.

OMG: WORD. Where is my wireless adapter, for instance (grappling with this even as I write this - in Vista - because Ubuntu cannot find the damn thing)? Ubuntu does not recognize it nor give me any way to force it to recognize!

*flails*

So, that new secondary hard drive that I've just finished screwing into the caddy for my new computer is going to be running Mint, then.

Good to know.

The entry this quote came from was right after this one on my reading page O_O

Ugh, Unity is awful!

Saw this before it got metaquoted - and it was indeed the right way to sum it up.
