Listening to people I converted to using Ubuntu complaining about issues w\/ 11.10, I just kinda brushed them off and chided them for not learning new ways of doing things.<\/p>\n
Sadly, I was wrong.<\/p>\n
Today I forgot the power adapter to my MBP so I ended up having to use my work laptop I had installed Ubuntu 11.04 and then later upgraded to 11.10 “just to do it”, but never really used it as a desktop till today.<\/p>\n
While I don’t think Unity is “all that bad”, I understand it is a simplified UI for simple people. What I do have an issue w\/ is something as basic as setting Proxy server settings is broken, has been broken and no plans it seems to fix it any type of timely manner. Specially for a bug that makes the OS useless in any environment other than a home network. From what I can tell, This bug\/broken functionality started back in Sept. 2011. Here it is 4 months later and it is still in horribly broken state.<\/p>\n
Guess I will just start pimping OSX since it at least works and can be used in a real environment. Only reason I even started to use OSX was due to I had more friends converting from Windows to Mac’s and I needed to learn it. Once I started using it I realized it was a better “*nix” desktop and have not looked back since. Before that I had been using Linux (Mandrake, Mandriva and then Ubuntu) as my work place OS for 10+ years. Even when my job title was Windows SA.<\/p>\n
Really pains me that a major Linux desktop OS has become worse than Microsoft Bob.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
