and btw i haven't booted into a single windows machine for work or at home in over 3 years. so i had no issue with windows bashing per se, it's just that canonical have no leg to stand on.
I'm not saying that I am fully supportive of their attitude towards Windows 8, even though I hate its guts myself, I'm just saying that by stating that Ubuntu sucks you're being just as immature. Sure, it might have a few glitches for you, it can't work perfectly on all the hardware, nothing does, but it doesn't suck because of that. Besides, if that's all that annoys you you could always fill a bug report and help get it fixed.
And I'm not just writing that to protect Unity, I actually got rid of it in favour of Xfce, I just think they've been doing a pretty good job on it recently.
and i don't care about "unity" and what not. i can use any DE. maybe i shouldn't criticize canonical because they clown around saying unity's better than windows 8 - like the unity UI is any more familiar to users than metro. the thing that interests me is the system underneath, and in ubuntu it's just wobbly - compared to stable distros.
i should add i also ran fedora for several months this summer and it was also very stable and reliable compared to ubuntu.
that said - i don't care what you feel you have to defend on the internet, or why you do it, you're entitled to it. i don't care what you run, your choice. i'm not trying to tell you not to. but i am certainly entitled to post my own opinion, especially one that is honest and truthful, based on facts. if you cannot stand an opposing view, or simply don't like what i'm saying, remove my comments. but don't try to tell me i don't know a crap distro when i see one.
Now about your bashing of it. You say that Ubuntu is a crap distro and that you've based this opinion on facts. I'm sure that in that case you wouldn't mind providing some to back your statement with then? If it's that unstable and awful, how could it have stood out between all the distros this much? Just look at thee Google trends comparison graph. [link] It doesn't come preinstalled like Windows, it's not advertised like OS X is, it's just one of the distros. I'm not saying that the masses always go for the best option, far from it, but there has to be something to it. I mean even Google uses it on its workstations. And that's without looking at Ubuntu server edition and other flavors. If you think it's crap you're gonna have to back your opinion a bit better than just saying it's unstable for you. Until then your comments just look like hateful bashing, neither constructive nor helpful. And I don't feel like I have to defend anything, but if I see someone hating on something which I have nothing against I'd at least like to hear their reasons for doing so.
