Heh. Yeah. I worked for a company that used Ubuntu... And they're still using
Ubuntu 10.04 to this very day, because they simply... Yeah... 

Ubuntu's not overall bad, but my beef with them is mostly over their repeat
annoyance with their stuff. Unity, for example. Originally "designed" for
netbook use, yet was the /worst/ thing for a Netbook because it heavily used
compositing, which.. most netbooks weren't that good at handling. Heh. And
having that sidebar on both monitors, and adding resistence to the mouse when
moving from one screen to the other was just silly.. 

And lastly, so far, Mir. Their ultimate slap in the face against the entire
Linux community, and Wayland. Canonical originally touted to support Wayland,
and were helping in development, however silently. Then one day, Canonical
announces Mir, out of the blue, and absolute no support for Wayland. They broke
promises and slapped people in the face with that, which is why companies
officially denounced support for XMir very quickly.

Either way though, I need to back down a little, as this forum specifically is
for Ubuntu, and I don't really wish to be the flamer of flamers about it. LOL.
Though, I'm pondering if we should get a LINUX-CENTOS echo going. I'll moderate
if anyone's interested. :)
