For what it’s worth, I find the servers reliable but the desktop experience to be unreliable (especially Ubuntu)

- morsch 6y agoI also find the desktop experience unreliable, and I use Ubuntu, Windows 10 and OS X.
- wazoox 6y agoI'd like to understand what you call "unreliable". I'm on an officially unsupported Lenovo Ryzen laptop. I've just hot-plugged and unplugged an external display, a gigabit network interface, a mouse. Everything is smooth. Applications run. I can move them to the external display. When I pull the HDMI out, they move back to the laptop display and resize accordingly. I plugged in the USB gigabit interface, my network switched to the wire. I unplugged it, and my youtube video went on playing without a glitch. I turned on my BT headphones, and the video played through them without stopping. Seriously, I don't get it. What doesn't work for you that would work better on Windows? I have absolutely no experience of windows (the last version I used somewhat regularly was 98SE).

Windows will update at terrible times while I'm in the middle of something but will do it successfully at least. Ubuntu let me down with a totally standard configuration. Issues with things like dual monitors on Linux laptops and other peripherals.
