I am not an Ubuntu developer, but as far as I know, lately most things happening, happen in the background / under the hood (e.g. X11 replacement). And of course this might cause more bugs rising (temporary). And yes, I also experience some issues, such as [Bug 792085] Re: Automatic remount of safely removed USB 3.0 drive which finally got fixed (even if on launchpad it is not yet marked as fix released). But I am still fine with the overall stability and I use Ubuntu all day on my primary work laptop and several other machines/devices. > The 16.04 tortures me with many glitches on the daily basis, and I found here > a bug report already submitted by other people for every > problem I have. Most of those reports are YEARS old and still are UNASSIGNED. I found 2 bugs you are following which are older. One is Bug #304345: "File chooser dialog doesn't provide network access" - which is a duplicate of another bug which has been fixed. The other is Bug #971219: "Remmina Crashes with when connecting to some RDP hosts" which in reality is not an Ubuntu issue only. People write that it depends on the certificate on the remote Windows machine. And oh yes, there is a third issue that is related to launchpad itself. Is that what you identify as reduced overall Ubuntu stability? What I see at co-workers and customers what they fight with Windows, I am still way better off with Linux. > This tells me: Ubuntu doesn't give a s**t to user experience and bug reports > any more. > So I think this particular bug will never be resolved, at list because no one > cares. > And, btw, Ubuntu became so s**tty that I switched to other distro after many > years with Ubuntu. My experience is that the better details on a problem you serve the better the answer is, what you get. So maybe try to provide more exact details on your problems to help the developers finding the bug faster.

This is a bug which Ubuntu and other projects are meant to fix. As the philosophy of the Ubuntu Project states, "Our work is driven by a belief that software should be free and accessible to all." "Ubuntu software is free. Always was, always will be. Free software gives everyone the freedom to use it however they want and share with whoever they like. This freedom has huge benefits. At one end of the spectrum it enables the Ubuntu community to grow and share its collective experience and expertise to continually improve all things Ubuntu. At the other, we are able to give access to essential software for those who couldn’t otherwise afford it – an advantage that’s keenly felt by individuals and organisations all over the world." * http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/our-philosophy Non-free software leaves users at the mercy of the software owner and concentrates control over the technology which powers our society into the hands of a few. Additionally, proprietary software stifles innovation, maintains artificial scarcities, and enables malicious anti-features such as DRM, surveillance, and other monopolistic practices. This bug is widely evident in the PC industry. Steps to repeat: 1. Visit a local PC store. 2. Attempt to buy a machine without any proprietary software. What happens: Almost always, a majority of PCs for sale have Microsoft Windows pre- installed. In the rare cases that they come with a GNU/Linux operating system or no operating system at all, the drivers and BIOS may be proprietary. What should happen: A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software. * http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html * http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines * http://www.opensource.org/docs/osd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/clubdistro/+bug/1/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~algeriatul Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~algeriatul More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
