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.

Everyone has a different experience. I haven't had an Xorg crash in... Well, I can't remember how long.

Vista, on the other hand... After installing the latest drivers from AMD for my x1900, Vista would BSOD at least every other time I started it. So much for graphics drivers not crashing the windowing system... They brought down the entire OS.
