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.

When you report bugs to win, they are actually considering the input and fixing the bugs. When you do it to lin, hardly nothing happens, you'll get "not a bug, do not submit again !" or "we cannot reproduce (understand, here it works on my own computer dud, so get lost)" or in the best case "we'll take care of it later (if ever)". The "you have access to the code, fix it yourself" moto ain't the best answer ever : not everybody is a hardcore coder with years of experience in the kernel, some are dumbass users that just wants to gives Linux a try, and gets pointless and unresponsive support from the so-called community when they comes to encounter troubles.
Feed up with these noobs and their inputs ? Then just abadon any hope to see Linux accepted by the mass, Microsoft -the evil king- is at least listening to its own crowd ! The Linux land is so puffed-up sometimes, it's scaring...
