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.

X crashed because he resized a window. How is that not proving that X.org’s a piece of crap?

It proves that the drivers are crappy. The problem would be the same on Windows or OS X. Low-level driver crash = time to reboot.
