I agree with the comments made Gherkin Póo-Caamaño. Even that M$ $hill Lunduke had to admit that Ubuntu is “almost perfect”!

Case closed!

I’ve been a Gentoo User for 5 years now, and though I tried Ubuntu a few times, it never got me what I wanted.

Still I really like Ubuntu, because it is the Distro I can recommend to people who want to just use their GNU/Linux instead of regularly testing cutting edge stuff.

I don’t know if the best solution is to synchronize the release times, but if it will work out, then Ubuntu will have brought yet another great benefit to the community.

For me, Kubuntu is already in the “we’re not hype – we’re what you want to use everyday and still be cool” state

And KDE 4 really helps showing non-Linux users what they miss

Well I for one am a happy Karmic user. I went on a customer services course once and I was told that it is only the people who have bad experiences are the ones who complain. The people who have good experiences just don’t say anything (well at least in the UK).

Ubuntu is not a perfect one size fits all distro, none of them are. It all depends on whether you believe the hype or just happy that somethings work this time round and the things that worked last time have been tweaked and polished.

[...] The trough of disillusionment for Ubuntu? "The Hype Cycle describes the way that new technologies and projects are perceived over time, if they do a good job of handling themselves, going from a technology trigger, inflated expectations, disillusionment, enlightenment, before arriving at “the plateau of productivity” – a state where there is no more hype and the new technology is simply a normal part of our lives."

I reckon as soon as the goolge os comes out; then a lot of linux distributions will start falling by the wayside.

I take the increase of Ubuntu haters as a definite sign that Ubuntu popularity and usage is on the rise as well.

If at all this is the trough of disillusionment for Linux – as Ubuntu is the best the Linux Community can offer…

How much is Microsoft paying for these blogs?

I am not an Ubuntu fanboy, my only problem with Ubuntu is Mono, but it just seems to me that it is no coincidence that all this criticism is out there to limit GNU/Linux damage against Windows7 release, thus attempting to prevent huge profit loss for MS.

Gotta love it.
