[LUG] I've had it with Ubuntu

 

Yesterday my machine updated a few packages and now it wont even run unity any-more. I have three machines with 12.04 on and they are all borked one way or another - mostly OpenGL is totally screwed (they're all Nvidia). I normally use XFCE destop but occasionally drop into Unity to try and sort out printing and fileshareing which has also gone completely tits up as the 'upgrade' overwrote configs in a 'secure' way and then hid the mechanism for fixing it in case it scares the user. I have no idea what Unity was meant to achieve for someone who actually uses a computer to compute and not just as an interface to the net but its so badly screwed I'm going to completely get rid of it and move to xubuntu unless anyone else is having similar problems with that.
