\"Windows
Windows has blue screens. Ubuntu has black screens.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Does Ubuntu hate me or is it really getting worse?<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

I started using Ubuntu in 2009 when I had to develop C and Java software for some courses at college. Back in those days the only think I knew about linux or unix was that it had something to do with penguins and gnus. I had a hard time getting used to the UI even more to the command line.<\/p>\n

My laptop had a slow disk (5200rpm) so I decided to use dual boot with Windows instead of a virtual machine. Ubuntu was fast no doubt about it, but I always preferred Windows’ usability and look (probably just because I was more used to it).<\/p>\n

Then I updated from Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala to 10.04 Lucid Lynx. Wow. Ubuntu became a polished and cool looking OS for the first time. I really enjoyed the dark theme and its warm tones. It was nice just to look at it. Working at Ubuntu became enjoyable.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile Unity came with 11.04 Natty Narwhal, I didn’t like it and switched to Gnome 3. By that time I was trying to use Ubuntu on a daily basis, in an attempt to convert from Windows to Linux. I couldn’t. Games, Adobe Lightroom, and Microsoft Office didn’t let me fully convert to Linux.<\/p>\n

Despite my personal requirements, Ubuntu was a stable, enjoyable, fast and powerful operating system.<\/strong> Not yet an alternative for me but a nice complement to Windows. Certainly the<\/em> OS to develop software.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ubuntu today<\/h3>\n

The last version I tried was 13.04 Raring Ringtail. And I finally gave up on Ubuntu as an alternative.<\/p>\n

\"Every
Every time I try to connect my laptop to an external monitor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At my bedroom I have a docking station setup for my computer: I have a LCD monitor, a keyboard, a mouse, and a laptop that connects to those devices. I connect my laptop to the monitor using an HDMI cable and it always worked plug’n’play on Windows. Not on Ubuntu. As soon as I connected the HDMI cable to the laptop, while on Ubuntu, it completely froze and I had to restart. I tried multiple combinations of connecting the cable, powering on, closing and opening the lid, switching windows and virtual desktops, to no avail. The result was always a black or a frozen screen, a forced restart, and the loss of my work.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Do
Do you want to suspend your laptop on Ubuntu? Think twice!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Another thing I’m quite used to do on Windows is to press the shutdown button to suspend the laptop if I’m going to be AFK for a while. I did that once on Ubuntu and learned the lesson – never suspend<\/strong>. Ubuntu suspended correctly turning off the fans, but when I pressed the power button to resume my session I couldn’t get passed a black screen despite the laptop being back on full power. Once again, forced restart and loss of my work<\/strong>. It’s not like I’m asking Ubuntu to natively take advantage of NVIDIA’s Optimus technology<\/a> – which would be great – since I know “NVIDIA is the worst trouble spot on hardware manufacturing”<\/a> (Linus Torvalds). No, I’m just asking to suspend my computer! That’s as basic as shutting down!<\/p>\n

Final thoughts<\/h3>\n

I like the Ubuntu project, what it is and what it represents. I like their vision to unify desktop, tablets, mobile (and TV)<\/a> in a single OS and UI. I admire the effort the put on to create a powerful and beautiful operating system free for everyone. After all this years using Ubuntu I actually made a donation<\/a>. What I don’t like are these tiny little things that greatly limit my work on Ubuntu.<\/p>\n

So if you want my advice, use a virtual machine instead<\/strong>. With Windows’ layer on top of Ubuntu I had all those problems solved (external monitor and suspend), which is quite ironic. If you don’t have the patience to create a VM you can grab one at bitnami<\/a>.<\/p>\n
