X11, Window Managers Over the past couple of months, and especially over the past couple of weeks, I've been working very hard to write and complete my thesis. I performed all the work on Windows 7, but now that the thesis is finally done, submitted, and accepted, I installed Ubuntu - and immediately I was reminded of why I do not do any serious work on Linux: the train wreck that is X.org.

- It's a little known fact that the X server crashing does not require all X apps to crash.


That point does not really matter when you are taken back to the login screen and the applications are not running any more.

I use Ubuntu 9.04 as my main OS and only occasionally have issues. But this "technically working" crap is a bit delusional.
