Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu We reported earlier on a blog post entitled "Ubuntu Report Card (2009)" where the author detailed how they felt the Ubuntu experience had improved over the years. In a follow-up series of articles looking at the future, Tanner Helland has written 10 different broadly-scoped feature requests that [he] 'and many others would like to see by the time Ubuntu 10.10 rolls around'.

Pulseaudio for me has on a number of occasions introduced "clicking" and stuttering in the audio which is pretty clear to hear. Right now I'm running Ubuntu without Pulse and everything works fine (in which case, why do I need Pulse?) The downside is that removing Pulse breaks Update Manager and apt because of the ridiculous dependency on Pulse from ubuntu-desktop.

Which is nice, but Fedora is intended to be a bleeding edge distribution. Ubuntu is supposed to be usable. The quicker solution is 'apt-get remove -f pulse'

PulseAudio has always been a disaster for me too. Stuttering sound that drives me insane. With each new install of Xubuntu I try it, discover it is still useless, then get rid of it in favour of alsa.
