Some issues with Ubuntu ...

1. Hardware support can be a problem. Right now I'm using Ubuntu on a previously-used laptop; the touchpad company won't release their specs, or the source code for the Windows drivers, and the current Linux drivers cannot disable tap-to-click-go-haywire.

2. Unity. It has some improvements over Gnome, but it has many more bugs than Gnome. It's harder to open specific applications or switch between applications. It relies on a side pane which can get in the way or get stuck. In this case, I'd suggest sticking with Gnome unless they solve the issues with Unity.

3. Language support is a farce. Each keyboard layout is pretty limited, lacking important letters like þ or ... damn, can't even use the compose key to type ƕ, had to search through multiple character sets in another application. Only four keyboard layouts can be enabled. And I end up with one character-insertion application, character map, for certain scripts and another, kchar, for symbols like ♀.

You can't get bread from sand, or justice from violence.

A bit angry right now. The courts sent out jury questionnaires, partially filled out, and in my case partially filled out with incorrect information. I was not quite sure what to do: I am vulnerable to punishment for not filling out the questionnaire, for filling it out since the pre-printed parts were wrong, and for believing that the courts and the government are systems of injustice in any case.

Yes. Bullied, beaten, and emotionally abused in school for about 12 years. Bullied by other students, teachers, and administrators. Occasionally beaten since then. I got through it with post-traumatic stress responses.
