Initially, sure it was cool, but the dell laptop I'm using (the d600) - wouldn't display compiz - beryl effects with the driver that ubuntu installed for me. So I found a tutorial that would let me do this. It didn't work. I looked for a driver supporting my laptop. Nothing. I tried changing my graphic settings to support a dell display, and now my screen is incoherent. I've spent days now trying to configure drivers, and make things work - but sheesh, I just don't have the time for this kind of hassle. Before Ubuntu is truly ready for mainstream adoption, they really need to deal with issues like this. So now when I ask a windows question, and someone says "yeah, go to linux" I think: you have got to be joking... Maybe I'm just frustrated because the alleviation I was trying to get from leaving windows never really came going to Ubuntu.... just seems like its own set of headaches... Loading...
