Adding unstable beta software such as Pulse Audio that breaks down the system. System updates have a high chance of rendering already installed programs useless. Newer updates don't fix already stated critical errors, forcing the user to seek alternative methods.
thats pretty much the stupidest thing ive heard in months. have you ever even used opensolaris? Tell me, oh great sage of the 'puter world and innernet, why is there no disk controller driver support for 90% of the 50+ computers in my datacenter? all of them work fine with out of the box x/k/ubuntu (5.04 and up)
@thegenrl Because Solaris itself, from which OpenSolaris directly derives, was designed for SUN Hardware both in Workstation and Servers. Therefore, it until now lacks support for many uncommon hardware. The 90% thing is the only thing i can't understand: It works flawlessly on every single of my Computers, which are quite diverse, every System from my Pentium IIIs to Core i7 / Athlon X2 is fully supported in disk controller etc. You can't compare these systems, as solaris isn't as widespread,
in the non-server world and therefore not as much development goes on for supporting every special disk controller. Driver support gets better and better, but it takes time and Opensource development of Solaris is young compared to Linux, even if it had a better starting point as a fully working, commercial OS. I think it's quite unfair to only compare driver compatability: Solaris has special features natively (ZFS, DTrace, "Containers"...) and outperforms Linux on large setups (e.g. 48+ cores)
blah blah blah @ these comments. Jesus christ.. get a job boys.

Open Solaris is the best open-source operating system; right up there with Kubuntu/Ubuntu

I wouldn't consider the buntus one of the best.

What would be some of your reasons why Ubuntu would not be considered one of the best?
