Comment 55 for bug 51043

"Are you using gnome or any other OS software at all?"

Yes, I've been using Gnome / Ubuntu for three years now. In those years I've experienced a lot of bugs and I haven't seen any of all those bugs being fixed. A lot of those bugs are really serious bugs (contents of clipboard being lost after closing the source application, anyone?) and / or bugs which were reported almost TEN YEARS ago, but still there isn't any progress. That's just completely ridiculous.

Then why do I use Gnome / Ubuntu? I hate Microsoft and don't want to support them in any way, so that's why I don't use Windows. The most common alternatives are Mac OS X and Linux. For Mac OS X you have to buy a Mac, so I can't run it on the PC I already own. That's why I installed Linux. When I had enough money, I bought a Mac. Linux was just a bridge between the Windows era and the Mac era, but it was a very rickety bridge. I've still got my PC with Ubuntu on it, but my Mac is so much better.
