  Rant:
  I honestly can't fathom how Canonical could ship a beta product and call it a LTS release. This computer was supposded to have been my work computer (a System76 laptop). Now I waste time on working around, and reporting, grave bugs in Ubuntu/Unity. Bugs that doesn't seem to get fixed. This is unbelieveable, and I must admit that I have lost all love of Canonical and Ubuntu because of this. I feel let down. My only hope for a stable OS now is elementary OS. They have promised to ship only when they have something that actually works.

  These are the bugs I have reported so far:
