You really shouldn't be trusting Dropbox with mission critical files either, but if you want something stable and non-beta, you should be going with LTS releases of Ubuntu. They're very stable and polished, I find.
- starwed 15y agoIIRC the PulseAudio debacle was with an LTS release.
- windsurfer 15y agoI remember that. People complained a lot, but at the time Pulseaudio was pretty stable. It worked well and I personally didn't have any issues. In fact, I'd say I had more issues with ALSA. At the time, Linux audio was a mess... and some may argue it still is.
- 01Michael10 15y agoOne should not really trust any cloud based app with any mission critical files that are not backup-ed somewhere else. I am not sure how the Ubuntu LTS release being stable has anything to do with their Ubuntu One service...
- yaix 15y agoThat's probably the best advise. For backup, I trust rsync'ing encFS encrypted files to my server and to a external HDD.
- omaranto 15y agoYou mean Ubuntu LTS releases become stable after six months or a year, right? When they're new they're as unstable as any other new Ubuntu release, I find.
- rbanffy 15y agoI am yet to see a rock-solid OS that's been in the market for less than 6 months. zOS, perhaps. Solaris, HP-UX and AIX too, but don't expect having the latest version of Ruby on them.
