Well, what can I say? You're using Ubuntu, and while I think that
Ubuntu has done a lot of good things for Desktop Linux, it's not
synonomous with it. Particularly, it's not really the most stable
distribution out there. If you want something that is stable and
solid, go with one of the enterprise desktop solutions like RHEL or
SUSE Enterprise Linux. They focus more on reliable desktop
experiences. I haven't used Suse Enterprise Linux yet, but I plan to
do so this Summer.
Basically, there's a lot that needs to be done in order to help make
Linux a more reliable desktop, but systems are becoming more and more
reliable, so I'd say we're not moving backwards.
