Ubuntu Frustrations

Lots of little oddities as I tried to stretch my Ubuntu wings.

From small things like Flickr’s advanced uploader (Flash based, I gather) not working right to Firefox occasionally locking up when I opened a new Window, using Ubuntu has not been the smooth experience that I was hoping for. Maybe it’s a bad day, maybe Ubuntu is just rougher around the edges than it’s polished exterior leads you to believe.

I am not giving up. I want to give Linux on the desktop a fair shake, but I am seeing clouds on the horizon. Will they build–or dissipate?
