I like unity although I consider myself to be a power-user. It's not unity that is the problem and since 12.04 it works quite well. However, there are a few extremely annoying details (samples see buglist I posted before) that should get fixed before implementing new stuff. Finish one thing before introducing more new and unstable stuff. Already now I am worrying about wayland - although I perfectly understand and appreciate that decision, I worry there will be major issues in the beginning that makes it unusable for at least two versions of Ubuntu. It's the same as you don't need to talk somebody about self-fulfillment, who doesn't have a flat to live in. The basics must be solved before you can take it up to the next level. > (I still recommend it for > non-technical new users and tablet fans.) It is far to risky. I also trying to get Ubuntu spread - but a) I do not try to talk somebody into Ubuntu any more, I just tell them to choose a distribution they like and b) yes, I also feel be more on the risky side than ever (although there are different reasons for that which are not all the fault of Canonical). > In the rush to get the new people, I am seeing something I had not seen > in the Ubuntu community before; Churn.

Pretty sure, I don't get you right here.

This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix. Non-free software is holding back innovation in the IT industry, restricting access to IT to a small part of the world's population and limiting the ability of software developers to reach their full potential, globally. This bug is widely evident in the PC industry. Steps to repeat: 1. Visit a local PC store. What happens: 2. Observe that a majority of PCs for sale have non-free software pre-installed. 3. Observe very few PCs with Ubuntu and free software pre-installed. What should happen: 1. A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software like Ubuntu. 2. Ubuntu should be marketed in a way such that its amazing features and benefits would be apparent and known by all. 3. The system shall become more and more user friendly as time passes.
