Earlier this month, we reported that Debian had announced a new release schedule; a freeze during December, a release some time in the first half of the following year. After outcries from the Debian community, the December freeze aspect of the plan was reversed. Since most of the ire about this situation seemed to be directed towards Ubuntu, Mark Shuttleworth decided to step in and offer to put several Canonical employees to work on Debian instead of Ubuntu.

I've never encountered these problems but maybe that's because I know what I'm doing
If by "I know what I'm doing" you mean just never ever try to run Kubuntu in another language than US English and pretending that the packages are not broken for ~95% of the world's population (the ones that don't have English as mother tongue), then yes... you know what you are doing.

All you had to do with those things was do updates to your distribution. The X server crash was certainly a biggie and the EVS problems are well, well documented. Just type the relevant terms into Google if you don't believe that you had those problems ;-).
...and don't endlessly whine and went my irrational dislike for Ubuntu on public forums.
No. You whine about your undying love for it and deny that you've had any problems at all, which is what most fanboys do on Ubuntu's forums when rational newbies have a problem.

Segedunum, you seem to live in your own fantasy world. I've certainly never noted Soulbender whining or otherwise emoting about his undying love for Ubuntu.
And I have great respect for Ubuntu's forums. There's lot's of good information there. Lot's of answers. And when there is a genuine problem, that gets discussed, as well. Oh, perhaps there is an anti-Segedunum here or there, preaching some gospel. But they are few and far between. And obvious to the rest of the forum members.
