I'm Done with Ubuntu

A few busted upgrades and the heavy-handed push of a software packaging solution has ruined Ubuntu for me.

Like many Ubuntu users, I stuck to the long-term support releases and upgraded every two years to the next major version. The result: Firefox shortcuts stopped working, the status bar contained duplicate icons, and random errors popped up after logging in. Some of these issues have probably been fixed by now, but if I executed migration projects at my day job with a similar track record, I would be fired.
