Ubuntu Feisty Fawn - Desktop Linux Matured

Provataki writes "It seems that Linux on the desktop is getting there, with Ubuntu. Eugenia of OSNews fame wrote a glorifying preview about Ubuntu's next version, dubbed Feisty Fawn. The review talks up the new features, like the restricted drivers/codecs management, easier package management, and good laptop support. The review also lists some of the distro's flaws in the current beta. A good read for those who are curious about what's next for Linux on the desktop. The piece concludes: ' Ubuntu is a distro that obviously has paid attention to detail ... and has found a good middle ground between hard core Linux users and new users from the Windows/OSX land.'"

But has it matured quickly enough?

[Timesprout]

I have used Ubuntu on a couple of machines, its the most polished distro I have seen but it has also been a fucking persecution, mostly with peripherals such as printers and wireless cards (gotta love ndiswrapper induced kernel panics). If you stick with it then its okish but its been annoying enough for me to uninstall on occasion. So if I adopt the attitude to windows common round here that 'it didnt so what i want so fuck it' what is the compelling argument to try it again.
