The Flaming Experience With KDE 4.5
I have time and time again heard that KDE 4.5 sucks badly and KDE only got worse. Well.. i have no freaking clue why people are saying that. In my own experience, i have not had any problems with KDE yet. I may not.. KDE 4.5 runs like a dream for me. It uses less RAM than KDE 4.4, it has faster system performance, it is extremely stable, and everything is still just as easy to use! I dont know why many people are having problems with KDE 4.5, but it may just be my own experience. I have replaced my xfce desktop with KDE on Arch Linux. If you agree with me that KDE 4.5 works quite well, or disagree with that, feel free to comment back! Preferably if you have used KDE long term though...

My view on all the distro flame wars….
I never get this "my distro is better than yours" crap. Everyone has different experiences anyway, and i dont mind if you state your experience and opinion. (relatively speaking). But i hate that people try shove them on me and MAKE me agree.. I dont like these flamewars... they really are overrated, but i get too many people trying to make me agree to things like "PCLOS is better than Linux Mint" or "Ubuntu is better than OpenSuse".. I just say, it doesnt matter. As far as im concerned, it is all linux anyway. Just use it.
But that is just my thought about it.
What i think Canonical needs to fix in Ubuntu
Canonical has for a long time since October 2004, been working on their Debian based linux operating system, Ubuntu. Well, Ubuntu is the most popular of the linux distributions, but i think it has one big problem. I believe it is the way Canonical is managing the Ubuntu release cycle. When 10.04 Lucid Lynx was released, it nearly had a major GRUB bug in the default install. To me, that is unacceptable for a LTS release. The way i see it, a lot of adjustments should be made. For the October releases (x.10), they should add new features that they want to add to Ubuntu, and in the April releases (x.04), they should make those the bug fix releases since it is in line with the LTS releases every two years. Also, i believe they should work on the LTS releases at least a year ahead of the release. This type of schedule would give Canonical more time to develop the LTS releases and to build on the features they want to implement in the LTS releases.
Also, as an addition, I think they should put in the multimedia codecs and flash and have the LTS releases as paid editions for Ubuntu to help support development, pay for the legal rights to distribute the codecs, and earn a little profit from it. Then, once Ubuntu becomes really stable, I might have faith in it going mainstream again.
