Bug Description
if you have a monitor that isnt 4:3 resolution, the ubuntu logo will be stretched out and ugly when the computer is booting up. this is, to be frank, kinda pathetic. widescreen monitors are extremely common, and there are even monitors that are perfectly square (1:1) but usplash only supports one aspect ratio, 4:3. all of the monitors on the computers that i use regularly are widescreen. other linux distros such as opensuse come with boot loader splashes that are at the correct aspect ratio to your screen. ubuntu does not, and i dont like the stretched-out look at all.
also, this isnt strictly relevant, but i also like the look/design of opensuse's loader much better too. it looks really cool. theres nothing wrong about ubuntu's bootloader, it looks good, its just that other distros have cooler-looking ones (and much less buggy, not to mention.)
however, ubuntu is better than other distros in most areas, and in a lot of the most important areas, so i continue to use ubuntu rather than any other distro. the only thing i dont like is the ABUNDANCE OF BUGS!!!!!! >:(

well, maybe in the next release, ubuntu will have most of its bugs corrected so that it is actually not annoying
ubuntu reminds me of battlefield 2. that was the best game ever, in my opinion (except that it was published by EA, and EA games sux). however, when it came out, it was filled with an atrocious amount of bugs. it was awesome, but it was extremely buggy. However, today, its stable, and ive never run into a bug. so, its the best game ever, awesome.
ubuntu is like battlefield 2 because it has a ton of bugs, but without these bugs its the best operating system ever. hopefully, in the very near future, most of its bugs will be gone and it will be difficult to find any, and it will reach perfection, kinda like how battlefield 2 got rid of its bugs and became the funnest game ever. 2 bad its almost unplayable in wine
(ive really got to get out of the habit of going overboard like this with my two-cents, i apologize.)
