Sorry, but Linux is far from done and/or bullet proof. It's getting more bloated and more unstable with each release.
It's only compounded by the perpetual quick turnaround cycle of the user space areas and continuous stream of bugs that never manage to get fixed whether for GNOME, KDE or what not as it updates newer revisions.
Sorry, but the entire ecosystem just isn't anywhere near as polished as it should be for Linux to become a true 3rd OS for Desktop daily consumption.
OS X is the baseline.

OS X is the baseline.
xnu is really superior to linux for power management, on other points linux is equal or do globally better.
I'm talking about the kernel, not the userspace applications obviously.

I guess if one is using the open source graphics drivers or maybe btrfs there's a lot happening there of significance.

Both of these were found to be utterly incorrect.

Originally posted by duby229 View PostI can induce a kernel panic by plugging in a thumb drive and rebooting... For some reason that seems retarded to me, USB drives get detected before SATA drives, so the drive assignments for the root filesystem gets changed and the kernel responds by panicking. So every time I boot I have to make sure no drive is plugged into USB. it can be annoying.

is a problem with RC version and this final too, too bad same error who was reported and not resolved
I also have brightness control problems on my laptop. I think it was broken in 3.8 and has is due to devices in /sys/class/firmware
