Comment 8 for bug 281679

Thanks for looking at the bug.

Can no longer test it with a currently supported Ubuntu version because
I have stopped using Ubuntu as a desktop OS (for quite a while now). It
did not sufficiently support the hardware in my Asus notebook.

Specifically the NVidia Optimus dual video card, for which a driver is
not made available by NVidia (NVidia in 2010: "no plans to support
Optimus on Linux at this time")and project Bumblebee had not yet started
at that time. Also a sdcard driver was not available and the USB 3.0
speed dropped to extremely slow because of driver bugs.

This lead me to conclude that Ubuntu (Linux in general) was not suited
as a desktop OS and I'd better switch to Windows (7). No regrets:
Windows 7 is a great improvement to previous versions and when I need a
server OS environment for e.g. webdevelopment I simply use either XAMPP
or VirtualBox to start Debian in a virtual environment.

IMHO: Windows is not a suitable server OS but Linux is not a suitable
desktop OS... The problem is not Linux itself but lacking commitment and
support from hardware manufacturers (which is a pity but nevertheless a
fact).
