[Bug 626974] Re: ABI change in xorg 1.9 breaks legacy nvidia-96 and nvidia-173 drivers in Maverick

 

Troy,

You're right this is not the forum to complain about the upgrade
process.  And you're correct that if I had read the release notes, I
might have discovered that it would be better to wait.  On the other
hand, if a release has significant bugs, it might be better to delay the
release, or change the upgrade process to deal with the missing
components in a more graceful manner.

For the most part, the point I'm making is that many of us have fallen
into the trap of thinking that Ubuntu has become a mainstream operating
system vs. a hobbyist OS.  Clearly, it's not ready to be a mainstream OS
and is still better suited to hobbyists than a general audience.  This
is more of an observation than a complaint.
