The disillusion has been a while brewing, but the truth became apparent early this year: Ubuntu as a distro no longer has anything I need. | The disillusion has been a while brewing, but the truth became apparent early this year: Ubuntu as a distro no longer has anything I need. | ||
- | I can't say it's been any one thing. Lord knows (although I am an atheist - I don't believe in Mark the Apostle) I tried to love Unity; I really did. The neat idea that began in Ubuntu Netbook remix as a cool small-screen interface just never matured in the way I wanted. Unity kept getting in the way. Unity kept making me type stuff. Unity was never as configurable as I wanted. It wasn't finished or ready back then and now the quick menus and live icons have arrived too late for me. | + | I can't say it's been any one thing.

+ | Je suis peut-être de la vieille école, mais je crois qu’une interface graphique ne vous demande pas de lâcher la souris et taper quelque chose toutes les cinq secondes. Je ne voudrais certainement pas d’une interface avec trop d’icônes qui soit plus facile à utiliser si vous appreniez toute une feuille de raccourcis clavier. En fait, l’interface présentée dans la 11.04 était une pierre d’achoppement majeure que je n’ai jamais pu accepter. Le menu principal ne se trouvait pas où je l’aurais voulu et disparaissait et réapparaissait comme une parodie Apple-Mac du spectre de Marley. Le comportement des notifications n’est pas exactement celui que je voudrais non plus. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Le HUD (Head Up Display : affichage tête haute), par-dessus Unity, ne m’a jamais plu. L’ajout de loupes au dash d’Unity, surtout une qui cherchait des produits à acheter sur Amazon automatiquement chaque fois que vous essayiez d’ouvrir un programme n’a pas amélioré les choses non plus. En particulier quand la désactivation par défaut de « Inclure les résultats des recherches en ligne » a été strictement interdite. Ubuntu doit maintenant montrer des bénéfices, | ||

Cela peut être logique d’avoir une base de code commune, des outils communs, des cas d’utilisation communs, mais il me semble que nous progressons vers une approche « taille unique », qui ne convient à personne, où le bon sens est relégué à une place derrière la fanfare et les vidéos de marketing - un peu comme le gosse aux cheveux roux dans les photos de classe. |

+ | Soyons juste, Canonical avance rapidement : de nouveaux produits, de nouveaux marchés, de nouvelles technologies : il y a une envie d’innover et de faire progresser Linux. Le problème c’est que ça ne va dans aucune direction que je voudrais. C’est audacieux et c’est souvent à la pointe de la technologie, | ||

- | There are things I am going to miss. Cloud storage service Ubuntu One: horribly buggy and breakable at launch, yet within three months, rock solid and an essential part of my backup regime. You can get Ubuntu One for Mac and Windows now. But any other Linux? That's hard. And I dislike the lock-in. And the up-sell. And the cross-sell. | + | There are things I am going to miss.

- | Then we come to the recent controversies; | + | Il semblerait que la pile Ubuntu soit un tout petit peu instable depuis la 11.04 - il se peut que ce soit tout ce travail sur Unity et les notifications, l’arrachage des composants de Gnome et l’ajout du propre code de Canonical, mais le résultat net est un flot continu de plantages de programmes ces quatre dernières sorties, au moment où la fiabilité d’un système d’exploitation mature aurait dû s’améliorer sans cesse. Je m’attendais à ce que chaque sortie soit plus stable, mais la 12.04 et la 12.10 ont entretenu la procession de notifications de plantages et je ne veux même pas parler de la 13.04. |
- | That too is all fine: since we're not paying the piper, we don't get to call the tune. Whose tune is it anyway? Let's just say I'm less than happy since Canonical cut a deal with the Chinese state to deploy Ubuntu. China and software freedom are irreconcilable at present, no matter how you try to dress it up and keep singing your own song. | + | Je peux vous dire que pendant le premier mois, sur trois portables d'âges, de fabricants et de processeurs différents, |

I thought about the officially recognized variants; I almost went to Linux Mint. Then I considered the dependency on the down-stream derivatives of Ubuntu, itself a down-stream derivative of Debian, and none of those made sufficient sense. Why not go back upstream to where the community work happens? | I thought about the officially recognized variants; I almost went to Linux Mint.

It's also true that Debian isn't as GUI as Ubuntu, or KDE, or Mint, and yes, I have to dive into a terminal session to get things done a little more often than under those others.
