It takes a lot of time diagnosing problems, recreating them, filing bugs, 
waiting for responses - and waiting and waiting... - and finding work 
arounds until something gets fixed.

There are a lot of issues in Ubuntu that I'm not seeing in Arch; that 
makes it less effort in my case.

I don't know what a "general Ubuntu user" is, but I see it being rolled 
out increasingly as an excuse for sidestepping issues, feature 
regression, and simply not doing things.
