[xubuntu-users] 2014 Rolling release?

[Ralf Mardorf]

Community support

I disagree, the best Wikis can be found for Arch Linux, so regarding to  
the community support IMO Arch Linux is the best distro. Apart from Wikis  
all major distros have good mailing lists.

Hardware support

Regarding to firmware I agree, some other major distros might have equal  
good support. I don't know the state of Fedora and Suse.

Software support

I disagree, regarding to software there are other major distros that  
provide as much software as Ubuntu does, but while for Ubuntu many  
packages are borked, they are ok for many other distros.

For example, when did fit the rtirq script the last time to the  
kernel-lowlatency? I can't remember it, they usually don't fit. Sometimes  
packages are incomplete, e.g. Jack 2 for Precise is missing the  
rawalsamidi switch.
Especially for Quantal many apps are broken, e.g. Evolution is a PITA.

Ubuntu force for at least GNOME to install PA as a hard dependency,  
instead of providing a gnome-settings-daemon package with pulseaudio  
disabled or at least a dummy package. PA brakes audio for many users.

And there's no "YMMV", this are facts.

My machine is a *NIX multiboot. I'm not fixed to a distro. I've got  
several Linux installs and one FreeBSD install.
