This is interesting. An entire site dedicated to slagging off Ubuntu evangelists. I like the way you’ve got the colour scheme down…

I’m going to say that I don’t like ANY of the choices today’s computers give you. Windows 7 seems really nice and I have Machines running Vista Ultimate, Win 7 RC7100 and Ubuntu 9.04 with all the eye candy turned on and a little Wind PC running an Ubuntu server with Media Tomb on it… I like all the machines for different reasons.

Gaming sucks on Linux, but I love the way it’s so modular and packages can be added and removed to make your system really lean. It’s certainly not as easy as Windows or Mac OSX, but I’m waiting for them all to improve.

Windows should add the cool features of Linux or even write a GUI for Linux which is solid and uses all of the neat features of Compiz… I’d buy it. The Linux kernel rocks and my Wind PC has been up for 6 months without an issue.

My Vista machine is really cool and I am a PC gaming nut, so I need Windows for that. I hate console gaming, even though I have a PS3.

Like the site… it’s funny..

The rotator…
Downloads every distribution out there, over and over again, looking for the best, strongest, easiest, one he can find.Always cycles back to Ubuntu because it resembles MS Windows so much.

I guess i fall under the Graduate. I used buntu from 5x on till Jaunty. I beta tested Karmic briefly, wasnt impressed. After many long conversations with a friend and frustrations with trying to customize ubuntu’s packages even a little (try removing evolution…) I had had enough. The solution? Archlinux. I finally have a system that does what and how i want it. I’ve installed gnome without evolution! And the pacman package system is just superior to apt-get.

While I would never ever suggest archlinux to anyone with probably less than a year or two of general linux use, ubuntu is a great and easy way to get that experience. There are just enough scenarios that can lead up to and prepare someone to move on (if they desired) to something more tailored to their needs/hardware.

I KNOW THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE TONGUE-IN-CHEEK BUT MY ABSOLUTE REFUSAL TO RECOGNIZE HUMOR ON THE INTERNET FORBIDS ME TO LET THIS GO WITHOUT A WORD.

THANK GOD I MANAGED TO COMMENT, NOW THE WHOLE WORLD WILL KNOW THAT I’M COOL ENOUGH TO HAVE AN OPINION ON THE INTERNET.

DarwinSurvivor – I could name 3 distributions off the top of my head better for the “just works” crowd than Ubuntu: Mint, SuSE, and I am sad to say this, Freespire, which could be an even more retarded distribution than Ubuntu.

The only thing I think Ubuntu should be used for is a stepping stone for people to learn (If Canonical ever lets them.) before switching to a real distribution that works a lot better. Since the 8 series Ubuntu’s been failing hard in terms of quality.

If you’re too afraid to actually learn how to use a computer for once stay with Winbloat or Crap OS X. Linux is not for the faint of heart.

I recently switched from ubuntu to archlinux, but it was not in any way due to “above personas”. I simply switched because some of my hardware (soundcard specifically) worked a little better in Arch and I was ready to start learning how to manually do things that ubuntu used to do for me.

Ubuntu is a great distro for people that want to start using linux, but don’t know enough to manually install X, drivers and peripherals without a helpful GUI. I would strongly recommend that anyone who considers themself a “computer superuser” use ubuntu, then migrate to something else. But for the grandmas, joe smiths and “I just need something that works”, ubuntu is probably the best bet.
