Comment 33 for bug 993187

After a large update yesterday including Compiz I hoped we would have some solution. Nope. My system still randomly freezes and my screen flashes like a strobe light in the discotheque sometimes.

What really bothers me is that if you google you see that lots and lots of Pangolin users suffer from this bug (over 200.000 hits) yet this bug hasn't been assigned yet. Solution to be far far away this probably means, or we must hope that some update will bring the solution accidentily.

If this is the way Ubuntu works these days, I'd rather spent a hundred bucks and get that so called crappy Windows 7: it at least doesn't freeze a twenty or thirty time a day. Or I will move away to another Linux distro that takes it's users a bit more serious.

For now to have a working system I will probably downgrade to 11.10.

I think it's mainly due to the fact that Ubuntu has been moving away from mainstream development with Unity and multiple monitor support. Don't get me wrong: I like the Unity concept and I also hope for a good multiple monitor solution for Linux, but I'd rather see efforts bundled instead of forked.

For now: please please please developers dive into this nasty bug. We (the users) are suffering: we need a GUI that works!
