Ask Matt Asay About Ubuntu and Canonical
A week after the announcement that open source advocate and blogger Matt Asay is leaving Alfresco for Canonical, in the role of COO, Matt has agreed to answer your questions about his role at Canonical, his vision for the future of Ubuntu, or the prospects for open source as we begin to emerge from recession. Usual Slashdot interview rules apply. (Disclaimer: Matt is on the board of advisors for Slashdot's parent company, Geeknet.)
How come NESticle and Stella (emulators) work flawlessly on Windoze but only play one-quarter of the roms on Ubuntu?
How come I can't connect to my Netscape dialup ISP?
Why can't I find a simple way to look-up my computer's RAM space, or how many tasks are running, or to kill a misbehaving process?
Why when I switch to 640x480 mode (gaming), why doesn't the desktop properties window fit (thereby leaving me stuck)?
Why, when I tried to upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04, was I told that I don't have permission to change the folders on my laptop?
Why can't I get Opera Browser installed?
Why. Is. Ubuntu Linux. So. Damn. Unfriendly? Hell my ancient Amiga 500 or Quadra Macs are easier to use.
And no this is not a troll. :-)
It's an opinion.
Learn the difference mod.
