I just installed 10.10 on my laptop. Some thoughts:
Ubuntu is striving for an OS that is accessible to the average computer user ("linux for people") but it's not there yet.
On every boot I got two of these:
Code:
modprobe: Fatal: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.35-22-generic/modules.dep: no such file or directory
It boots up after it hangs on that for a few seconds then works fine. It's a wide spread bug, and I fixed it in the terminal by following what someone said on the bug page.
Then the automatic wifi network tries to connect, only to prompt the keyring to ask me for my password. Fixed that easily by following directions and editing some stuff in the terminal.
So those two problems were solved relatively easily, BUT for the average user running into a FATAL error, which certainly sounds pretty severe, and having to use the terminal to fix it is too much!
Like I said, it's probably not a problem for most Linux users, but I'd really like to see Linux spread to the "mainstream," but having to fix things right off the bat in arguably the most accessible distribution isn't ideal... But I guess it's come a long way, no?
Now, to figure out what the hell I'm doing in this new toy :twisted:. The type looks a little soft and blurry and I'd like to change the look of the windows. But I'm excited .
