Whats Mark Shuttleworth ever done FOR you?
Authored by: complex_number on Saturday, July 14 2012 @ 10:54 AM EDT
If you are a Linux user but does not use any of the offerings eminating from
Canonical then frankly, not a lot.

I used Ubuntu for a while but found it's brown colour scheme rather trugid.
After a 8.10, I got fed up with the 'lots of shiny-shiny' being introduced but
very little attention (as far a I could see) to sorting out problems that he
been there for several releases.
I went back to Fedora and frankly I have not regretted it one iota.

Since I left the Canonical fold I feel that my decision has been vindicate by
some frankly strange decisions coming from the Ubuntu world.
MY main gripe with them is their feedback policy. Fixing bugs in the kernel is
great but not submitting them back for inclusion in the mainstream kernel
frankly isn't cricket.

The Linux movement needed something like Ubuntu but as every release goes by and
more and more people I know who once used it drop by the wayside and go to
Debian, Mint or some other distro I can't help but think that its time may have
passed.

Ubuntu & 'apt-get' are not the answer to Life, The Universe & Everything which
is of course, "42" or is it 1.618?
