I recently tried to install Ubuntu on somewhat recent hardware and it was a complete trainwreck. I'm talking about installer broken right off the bat that required multiple grub hacks to fix. It then proceeded to install a completely broken system. The only thing that worked (kind of) was recovery mode with command line only, and even that installed had a broken resolvconf (missing /etc/resolv.conf), so networking was working but DNS wasn't configured so couldn't resolve anything to actually do anything useful. Numerous attention to detail/UI bugs in the installer irrespective of the problems that could have been specific to my hardware support lead me to believe quality and effort level have overall plummeted. The experience harkened back to late 90's linux distro level of frustration. In short, it's a complete mess. Don't bother with Ubuntu, just let it die already.
