Kde, gnome, mate, cinnamon, lxde, xfce are freaking damn buggy as hell from crashing, to buttons not working when clicking on them, freezing, icons disappearing. It doesn't mean this buggy shit happens everyday or every week it just creeps up unexpectedly.

Yes, that pretty much sums up what I meant when I said above "another crusty Linux distro coming up".

The weird little glitches that pop up on Linux desktop are the thing that get me.

The malware began to infiltrate the system as early as January 20, but the majority of the attacks began after March 26. UPS says the threat was eliminated as of August 11 and that customers can shop safely at all locations.

I like it too, but it's kind of brutal. :) I'd say that even if you land somewhere between level 1 and 2, you're pretty good already. This is how I would interpret it:

Level 1: Competent for many programming jobs
Level 2: Experienced guy competent for most programming jobs
Level 3: A true genius competent for the most advanced tasks

I'd love to run Linux as a primary OS, but I've tried all kinds of distros, and there has not been a single desktop environment that felt robust and professional, where things were in places I'd expect and everything just worked without a lot of unnecessary fiddling and looking up of vague error messages.

Same experience here.
