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.

FLOSS, FLOSS, FLOSS, you still depend on : the quality of the code, the quality of the comments, the quality of the documentation, the quality of the community that would check in your changes (if EVER you were able to do so), etc... OK, you have access to everything, now tell me *WHY* Linux is not 10 years ahead of Windows while it is open-source software and everyone could gets his/her hands into it ? I bet there is more coders working on Linux kernel (and related stuff) than on Windows, *YET* Linux ain't far more advanced than Windows, it even lags behind, always copying new Windows' features and themes...
