I know this may sound like crazy ‘out there’ ranting, but:

1. If, for some lame-ass reason, you don’t want to the OS to automatically add newly plugged in USB HDDs to be easily navigable, would it be so fucking hard to have a disk manager (I’m looking at you GParted) that actually fucking allows you to see to what degree the device is connected?!!
2. Firefox - retardedly slow at times for no reasons - despite hours spent finding tutorials for tweaking settings (mostly in about:config) that are supposed to fix this.
3. Mouse control - Frustrating-as-hell 1/4-second delay on every fucking mouse-click? Really? Really!!?
4. Do you really fucking expect mass migration when you can’t even get Photoshop/Dreamweaver to work bug-free?!! And don’t give me that ‘real men build websites with gedit’ or ‘GIMP works just fine once you get used to it’ bullshit. I can build a fully ’standards compliant’ custom designed HTML/CSS site with Dreamweaver that looks at least twice as good (the unit of measurement would be ‘awesomes’), in half the time, as some schmuck schlepping his way through it with notepad++, bluefish, NVU, or any other glorified text editor.
5. Can we at least try to put something together for answering questions like mine that is halfway as decent/organized as Microsoft KnowledgeBase (which is still inadequate).
6. Can the Linux fanbois get the fuck off their command-line high horse?! I don’t want to have to learn a whole command-line ‘language’ just so I can do basic operations on my fucking computer. Get it through your basement-dwelling skulls, 99+% of people do not want to be able to tweak/manage every possible fucking setting of their OS.
7. No true VMware console. Really? Really!? No, I do not want to deal with the overhead/bugs of running my Virtual machines/network through a fucking browser. Un-fucking-acceptable.

The frustrations of dealing with Ubuntu’s ‘idiosyncracies’ are fast catching-up-with/outweighing, the benefits-gained from switching from XP. Seriously. It’s starting to get to me…
