Bye Ubuntu

[ Thanks to An Anonymous

“”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.”
