Looks like those hobby crapware developers need a new hobby.

Karmic Krapware upgrade: "all in all, it is a disaster":
"Upgraded and have many problems:
No sound
Scanner not recognized.
Printer not recognized.
Can't get root in terminal because password is not recognized.
All in all,it is a disaster.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Karmic Krapware: click a mouse button once and freeze your slopware:
The problems I have had so far since upgrading from 9.04:
1. System freezes when I use the 'back' button on a 5 button mouse. The
mouse continues to move but nothing can be clicked. The keyboard does not
seem to do anything either, and I have to force a reboot.
2. Similar thing happens if I launch emacs-gtk. The window appears but then
freezes the system.
3. Annoying clicks - but sound does seem to work.
All this on a HP Pavilion laptop."

Karmic Krapware upgrade: "system practically unusable":
"Xorg tends to consume 100% of CPU, making the system practically unusable
no audio
touchpad doesn't work"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Karmic Krapware upgrade: "a disaster", 27 minutes to login and load a
web page:
1) trashed our run level boot arrangement with this thing called "Upstart"
that appears to do it ONE way.
2) trashed a DTC setup with 4 web sites, email server, etc. where MySQL and
other services won't even pretend to start.
3) now generates hardware errors for devices that don't exist.
4) and (my boss's pet peeve) the Gnome login dialog lists all accounts on
the box with no sign of being able to disable that."

Poor battery life with ubuntu karmic klunker linux:
I get about 8-10 hours of battery life with Windows 7 which has the
most advanced power management features of any os.
With linux I get one or maybe two hours tops. Then the battery dies.
With Windows my laptop runs nice and cool but linux turns it into a
hot plate.
Why can't linux figure out how to do simple power management.

Why Microsoft Dominates and Linux Stagnates....Examples:
Here are a couple of examples of why Microsoft continues to dominate and
Linux is still trying to make 1 percent of the desktop.
1. Install Windows 7 and:
a. Dual monitors set up perfectly and work.
b. Printing works.
C. Network browsing works, including Linux shares.
D. Sound works.
E. MIDI interface (m-audio) works.
F. Partition manager sees all partitions including unallocated space
and sets up appropriately.
2. Linux:
A. Fails to set up dual monitors and requires nvidia-settings
workaround.
B. Fails to set up sound and requires Midi-man Delta work around.
C. Fails to see network shares and requires samba workaround.
D. Fedora partition manager a clusterfsck.
So, when all is through I am stuck with Linux and 100 applications that
half work. Or I can have a stable OS, Windows 7, and download the same
gimp, audacity,or Openoffice and at least I can use them.
Conclusion: Linux sucks.
