Jaunty is broken

Posted By on May 3, 2009

(well, aside from netbooks, which I’m using out of the box with no modifications)

  1. Xfce4 suffers from a very annoying window stacking bug, plus general flakiness
  2. The volume buttons on my laptop are broken
  3. KDE is too slow
  4. Gnome is not configurable enough.

I’m going back to intrepid. Maybe the XFCE guys will fix the WM.

I’m also considering CrunchBang, but I’ve spent too much time on this already. I’m reloading my laptop back to Intrepid, and will be trying others in VMs.

Actually, hell with it. I’m going to try going back to 8.04 and if that goes well, will be sticking with LTS releases from now on.
