Fair - but too often the bugs are driver-related. I realize that this is kind of unavoidable for open-source software in our economic system, but it doesn't make it any less annoying.
It was the driver bugs that drove me back to Windows - doing multi-monitor is a pain in the rear, and suspend/hibernate would often break on distro update in the rare cases they worked before. Getting an up-to-date Web browser is a big plus for Windows over most Linux distros too (I know about Debian testing, Arch, PPA's, etc. - I said "most").
- shardling 14y agoI believe Firefox now stays up to date on vanilla Ubuntu.
- freehunter 14y agoYeah, Ubuntu updates Firefox usually the same day it's released.
- BruceIV 14y agoGood to know.
- BruceIV 14y agoWhat about Chrome/Chromium?
- freehunter 14y agoThey stay well up to date, but not because of Ubuntu. At least the last time I used Chrome, it required a PPA from Google, which is updated by Google. The Firefox repo is updated by Canonical's apt staff.
