Exactly!
This is why I say the Linux community has over 500 different excuses
when Linux doesn't work correctly.

They call them distributions.

That IS true. That said only a fucking idiot, and that would be you,

Speaking of f*cking idiots and denial (they both fit you), only a f*cking idiot would claim that there aren't a ton of real posters on this list:

Yeah, right, "Rob".

Aw, now! The "Rob" wintroll is probably just parroting what he's been told
by the other wintrolls. You probably lost him at "do a checksum".

When I boot/reboot, it takes Manjaro (xfce) literaly 10 seconds to 
recognize my login password and let me in.  Not sure what all it's 
doing, but something is strange.

And this is exactly the kind of stuff I talk about.
How can they release crap like this?
It's like they don't even test it.

And even the stuff Snatch has uncovered are real problems as are the
items you have uncovered.

Could you imagine if this was Windows or OSX?

The Linux loons would be going wild frothing and writhing with
delight as would the hundreds of millions of end users.
It would be on CNN in fact if the quality was as poor as what Linux
users put up with on a daily basis.


Even if these things are minor, it just shows the lack of care and
PROPER testing by the developers. And extrapolating this to the rest
of the Linux system, using the many eyes volunteer approach, what
kind of warm fuzzy can the users get that their programs aren't
riddled with bugs?

I think it's tested once or twice by the developer, and that's it.

And chances are if you report a bug it won't be fixed.  Look at this - 
there are 2 and 3 year old bugs (in Thunar, a file manager) still 
classified as NEW.

No, I can't imagine MS or Apple EVER releasing such haphazard dreck.

But, to be fair, that's the nature of hobbyware developed by unpaid, 
untrained amateurs.  It can't be any other way, when an entire world can 
hack away and release their code under the GPL.

Most of the things I found recently in 14.04 LTS will never be fixed.

1.  'free driver' results in taskbar and launcher icons off the screen
2.  apps open based on file extension
3.  apps in Software Center not sorted alphabetically
4.  restore vs drag-drop from Trash inconsistent
5.  default font in XTerm very tiny
6.  default is to spy on you by sending search terms and IP address
     to Canonical and 3rd parties
7.  some apps listed 2x or more in the 'Open With' list, and elsewhere
8.  tries to open a text document with a CD/DVD burning app if you
     choose Open With then Find Apps Online
9.  old dpkg.log data shows even after partition formatting
10. log viewer menus don't match the documentation
11. Software Center lists free of cost software for purchase, and
     you can't install them
12. log viewer menu disabled when run as root


#7 has been in various distros I've tried over the last 8-9 years. 
Right now, my xfce start menu shows 4 entries for 'marble'.

Bullshit.

Use restore and it is a non-issue.

That doesn't surprise me. Things we take for granted nowadays have yet 
to be properly supported in GNU/Linux. Time seems to move a lot slower 
for the GNU/Linux user and nmaybe by 2030, they'll have real support for

Great list. Will be interesting to see how long it takes for the KDE team to
fix the dozens of bugs I sent them. Also amazing how the general desktop
Linux user does not care enough to report these bugs.
