I felt the opposite. I started a new job, and have both a linux (ubuntu/kde 4.3) and a mac machine. I have developed mostly on windows (in mobile, you almost have to, as a lot of emulators are windows only, except iphone), and at home I have windows XP. I wanted to like linux, but I couldn't. Too many little things that were just not right, There is nothing like "major" that doesn't work, but it is more like death from 1000s cuts.
Even repositioning the taskbar on the top, and making it the siz you want, and have the other menus down, was a pain.
Ejecting a USB device, doesn't quite work. Tranfering files through usb is more like magic. There is a progress bar, but at some point it dissapears. You would thing that it is b/c the transfer is done, but no. It is just a bug. You disconnect your usb, and the file is not there. The whole experience is a pain. Switched to mac as fast as I could. My preference so far:
Mac Os
Windows XP
Linux/ubuntu - Vista (draw) If windows 7 was available, perhaps it would have been on pair with MacOs. I understand that for server development, linux is great, but for mobile stuff, it is just not needed at all. I'd rather have a system that just works. |
It sounds like you have a major problem with your install. I use Ubuntu daily and never experienced anything close to it. My biggest problem is to remember what package to download to make my Atheros wireless work again.
And what's the pain in middle-button-dragging the bars to wherever you want them to be?
