Hello. I am a linux lover. I have choosen ubuntu gnome because IMHO, it is the closer to desktop linux and I do not want to spend my life tuning my system. Recently there was some automatic updates and now the chrome scrollbar jumps crazy. I am pretty sure this will be fixed in a couple of days (weeks), but all these little glitches are becoming tiring. Since release 16.04, I have stopped advising people to migrate to linux. I see discutions about removing the features that count for me (network transparency, remote display, GPL license, ...). As a tax payer, I really want my administration to stop giving money to compagnies that work against my freedom. I feel very sad about it but Munich is probably reverting to Microsoft for sensible reasons and not for politic.
- bo1024 9y agoI feel that you are portraying Ubuntu as representing all of Linux, and maybe it does to you, but this is far from the truth.
- webreac 9y agoAt work, I have just migrated to RHEL 7. With RHEL 7.3, there was a problem with gedit (impossible to resize). This ought to be solved in 7.4. In 7.4 most of the applications crash because GTK does not check correctly the values returned by the RandR extension (which is broken in my version of exceed). The current workarounds are either to use xming or deactivate extension RandR (unrealistic in our case because many people use laptop). The package bash-completion is installed by default. It causes so many issues that we decided to mandate its removal in all installations.
- leereeves 9y agoWho's talking about removing the GPL license? How would that even be possible? Are they going to rewrite all the GPL code?
- webreac 9y agomany packages are replaced, for example gnu netcat has been replaced by ncat in RHEL 7
