jeffrashakgraner, you around?15:06
jeffrashakgraner, what do you make of Mark Shuttleworth says power users and developers should find another Linux distro?15:11
holsteinjeffrash: ?15:33
holsteinthat sounds like FUD15:33
holsteinwhere/when was that15:33
holsteinand in what context?15:33
holsteinunity?15:33
holsteinare you sure it wasnt 'power users should find another DE' ?15:34
jeffrash"Is Unity too simple for power users? Yes, it is. But, as Shuttleworth tells us that's by design. If you don't like simple, consumer-oriented desktops, you'll want to look at another Linux distribution because that's exactly where Ubuntu is now and will continue to go."16:29
jeffrashThat's from one article I'm reading16:30
jeffrashhttp://www.itworld.com/open-source/161063/can-unity-create-first-consumer-class-linux-distro16:30

adam_vollrathnot a big deal.  "power users" can and do change their desktop environments.  It would take a lot more than Unity to drive them away.16:36
jeffrashI agree, as long as they don't focus all the development energy on Unity and leave other things broken16:37
jeffrashJust wanted to see what everyone thought about it here.16:37
jeffrashI was disappointed with 11.04, wireless did not work out of the box for me and I've not upgraded my primary desktop at home due to NVIDIA dual monitor issues I've read about.16:38
adam_vollraththat's kinda surprising16:39
adam_vollraththe hardware part16:39
jeffrashI agree16:39
jeffrashI've not had issues with video sense 6.0616:40
jeffrashwireless has been in and out. One release it works great and the next it's broken16:41
jeffrashI have the broardcom b4312 card in my laptop16:42
jeffrashI also don't like that they have removed things18:02
jeffrashyou can't do a custom default mail application now.18:02
