Having been a big Ubuntu fan (yes, including Unity) for quite a while now, I have been severely underwhelmed by the 16.04 LTS. The thing that really gives me pause (in addition to the basic instability of what is supposed to be a stable release) is the show-stopper bugs in major projects that have gone not only un-fixed, but unaddressed for nearly two years.

Both of these examples are _major_ bugs in _major_ packages in the distro. And nobody has bothered to work on them, at all. This suggests to me that Ubuntu is too short on manpower to actually maintain the distro at an acceptable level.

Canonical, WTF?

Also, have you ever _really_ looked at your hand?

I aspire to the perfect Slashdot post, which is equally modded "Funny" and "Troll".

I felt the same way about Hamlet.

Word, Bro. Fuck over poor people? Awesome, that's capitalism. Suck it up, snowflake. But fuck over the rich bros? Man, that should be a wakeup call to everybody.

This was so idiotic it made my brain bleed.

... except that if you actually put a black female officer on the show, all the Bros are going to whinge about what a SJW you are!

Apparently, the message did't stick.

I really like Unity!

We can read Babylonian, Egyptian Heiroglyphs, Old English, Mayan. 500 years isn't that long.

... low numbers on Slashdot are not to be trusted.

@realDonaldTrump is a blue check. What more do you need?
