A Gut Check On Gutsy Gibbon

Posted by kdawson on from the who-you-callin-windows-like dept.

jammag writes "Linux pundit Bruce Byfield looked inside the pre-release of Gutsy Gibbon and found what he calls 'Windows thinking.' His article, Divining from the Entrails of Ubuntu's Gutsy Gibbon, notes that Ubuntu is the dominant distro, having achieved a level of success that might be leading to complacency. He opines: 'Only once or twice did I find a balance between accessibility to newcomers and a feature set for advanced users. At times, I wondered whether the popularity might be preventing Ubuntu from finishing some rough edges.'"

    Hm, I guess it seems Gutsy Gibbon isn't quite up to stuff. Prolly oughta wait for the next edition, the more refined Hairy Hardon. You do that. I'll wait for the ultimate release: Nappy Nigger.

    Maybe in 20 releases, they'll finally have [waited long enough that someone else has] implemented the great features that get deferred on every single Ubuntu release.

    So do you always hijack threads as a karma whore or do you ever believe that your original ideas will stand on their own, even if they're not directly below the first post?
