Ubuntu has been going backwards for at least two years....
- Unity doesn't seem to improve, and just further fractures and balkanizes the linux desketop
- They dropped the installation versions where I can do software RAID setup... all my desktops are RAID0 dual HDD and SSD OS/swap/boot.
- Ubuntu desktops have been getting slower as I upgrade my hardware, not faster.
OSX has maddening keyboard shortcuts, and Windows is committing suicide.
With the excess cores, GPU power, huge disk space, virtualization, and other advancements, I should be able to seamlessly run several OSs at once. There is such amazing potential out there, but it is pretty clear that Canonical is now just putting minimal resources into Ubuntu.
It still mystifies me that Google didn't make a seriously good desktop distribution on par with OSX to destroy the windows monopoly. Instead... ChromeOS?

- aruggirello 12y agoYou can still install Ubuntu on a RAID0 or 1 mdadm device (I did so on a couple SSDs). You just have to use the Ubuntu Server iso instead of the Desktop one, and follow a few more steps: http://www.ubuntulinuxguide.com/software-raid-ubuntu-14-04-setup-install-configure/ http://www.ubuntulinuxguide.com/software-raid-ubuntu-14-04-s...
