I'm trying to make that call at the moment. I've been using Ubuntu on laptops since 5.10 (Badger) and Debian before that. 10.10 has by far the most regressions in it that I've encountered during this time.
If this were my project, I wouldn't be releasing it in this state. I know it's the 10/10 release and presumably 10/10/10 they will hit -- 42 and all that -- but they really need to get some stability into this thing. It's starting to alienate folk.
By raising bugs and doing the legwork I've helped fix quite a few, but two unresolved issues, both involving hardware that worked flawlessly until now, are making me wonder how well my time is being spent.
In addition, Shuttleworth is clearly starting down the road of monetizing Ubuntu, and if I'm going to support that then I want my show-stoppers fixed. Quid pro quo.
Because of this, moving to the Dark Side is looking more and more attractive. I wish it wasn't so.
[Edit: I also have an old Acer on 9.10 that works flawlessly, including the hardware that causes issues in 10.10. I won't be updating it.]
