my answer: just use Linux and go on with your life without worrying
too much about it.    I have been using linux nearly continously for
quite a few years both at work and at home, and I wouldn't say that
that huge pile of bugs really affect me and stop me from doing my
daily computing actitivies.  Yes the odd bug shows up, but any
operating system will give you the same not-quite-bug-free experience,
 and it doesn't  matter if they are free of paid, open or close
source.

It is nice  and useful if someone like you start filing up bug reports
for any little things problems that you find, or try to participate in
mailing list and IRC channels but it's not an Ubuntu requirement; far
from it.  The important thing is that you use your computer in an
efficient, cost-effective and useful way. Probably most of the people
on this list would say that this will most easily achieved with Linux
and Ubuntu in most cases.  But that's up to you to decide.  Personally
I have made the choice a long time ago that this was achieved for me
with Linux (and Ubuntu)

If you wait for any piece of software you use to be perfect, you could
be in for a very long wait :)
