VENT: When are they (Canonical) going to Stop stripping out functionality from Ubuntu Linux?
VENT: When are they (Canonical and Open Source 'Partners') going to Stop stripping out functionality from Ubuntu Linux?
I started with Canonical's Ubuntu with version 12.04 LTS ,shortly after they fist implemented UNITY. And as such became thoroughly accustomed to having and using it.
Then in the transition between 12.04LTS and 14.04LTS they stripped out the native support for the Wacom Bamboo Pen Tablet which I use in lieu of a Mouse. Forcing us to have to use XOR commands to recover 'Touch Pad Relative' Mouse Cursor Speed. Apparently, Upon realizing this, they began phasing out a good many XOR commands.
Eventually I transitioned to 16.04LTS (The Removal of native support for the Wacom Bamboo Pen Tablet was Never Resolved). Then in late February Mozilla Updated their (Ubuntu Default) Firefox Browser so that IT WOULD NOT FUNCTION with anything LESS than 3 to 4 GB of System Ram. This Eliminated the possibility of having a Functioning OS and Full Browser for any hardware Limited to 2GB or less. (Which, although I personally do not use one, Includes the majority of most SBC's on the market).
Then WineHQ Decided to 'Move their Repository' WITHOUT SIMPLY MIGRATING EXISTING USERS TO THE NEW REPOSITORY." Forcing us all into the situation of having to UNINSTALL all of or Hundreds of Wine Dependent Applications and then reinstall ALL OF THEM from scratch: A good many of my own 32 BIT - WINE dependent applications have upwards of 15 to 20 full typewritten pages of SETTINGS Each taking a good deal of Months of time to Implement and fine tune adjust accordingly. They could have simply Migrated us to the new Repo.. But Nooooooo!! They Insisted to NOT.
And now I see a YouTube Review of Ubuntu Linux 19.04: Stating that Canonical will no longer be supporting ANY 32 bit Linux Version. - THAT SPECIFIC USEFULNESS IS WHAT WE ARE USING UBUNTU LINUX AND WINE TO RUN!!!!
Today: Ubuntu did Thirteen "UPGRADES": After which I started seeing my mouse cursor in the GIMP application being irrecoverably REPLACED SYSTEM WIDE with Thumbnail Graphics Images rather than the mouse cursor. Requiring a full REBOOT each time to get back to a Functioning Mouse Cursor rather than the Thumbnail Image Replacement
of it. Further, After these upgrades, I began to see the Entire Ubuntu Desktop GUI going to nothing but a BLACK SCREEN every time I tried to view YouTube Videos that some Political Hacks might not agree with.. Etcetera.
So, When are they (Canonical and Open Source 'Partners') going to Stop stripping out functionality from Ubuntu Linux to the users?
