:Bye Ubuntu
Bye Ubuntu

[ Thanks to An Anonymous Reader for this link. ]

""By now my launchpad, brainstorm, and Ubuntu forum accounts have been removed .. at my request. I have decided to completely unequivocally leave the Ubuntu community. This important step helps me accomplish my goal by removing my ability and ultimately my desire to comment and participate within the community.

"As you know the change of the title bar buttons from right to left coming in Lucid 10.04 has caused quite a stir across the internets, and has taken focus in a single bug report. Ultimately it really is trivial to change them back to the right side; a simple gconf oneliner will move them, but there is a greater issue here.

"That issue is .. community. Thousands of users across the internet are voting overwhelmingly against this change, but unfortunately it seems that it like all other Ubuntu bugs have fallen on deaf ears. Users reporting that they do not want the change are being told that they aren't going to get a choice or a vote in the decision, and if they don't like it they can fix it themselves, or they can find another distribution."
