   Heh. Yeah. I worked for a company that used Ubuntu... And they're still using   
   Ubuntu 10.04 to this very day, because they simply... Yeah...    
      
   Ubuntu's not overall bad, but my beef with them is mostly over their repeat   
   annoyance with their stuff. Unity, for example. Originally "designed" for   
   netbook use, yet was the /worst/ thing for a Netbook because it heavily used   
   compositing, which.. most netbooks weren't that good at handling. Heh. And   
   having that sidebar on both monitors, and adding resistence to the mouse when   
   moving from one screen to the other was just silly..    
      
   And lastly, so far, Mir. Their ultimate slap in the face against the entire   
   Linux community, and Wayland. Canonical originally touted to support Wayland,   
   and were helping in development, however silently. Then one day, Canonical   
   announces Mir, out of the blue, and absolute no support for Wayland. They broke   
   promises and slapped people in the face with that, which is why companies   
   officially denounced support for XMir very quickly.   
      
   Either way though, I need to back down a little, as this forum specifically is   
   for Ubuntu, and I don't really wish to be the flamer of flamers about it. LOL.   
   Though, I'm pondering if we should get a LINUX-CENTOS echo going. I'll moderate   
   if anyone's interested. :)
