There's always a trade-off between being able to run the latest versions
of programs with cool new features, as opposed to reliability and
stability. Some lean toward one way and others toward the other. And
then there's me - I want both. I've tried various distros and I always
keep coming back to Ubuntu. Yes, Ubuntu has bitten me  with serious bugs
that should not have made it into the release version, but such cases
are rare.

Patents and corporate secrecy. If a manufacturer open sources their
hardware then everyone will know how they made the product. That
entices patent trolls. Better to keep everything secret.
