Ubuntu 10.10 feelings

I've been using the desktop version for about a month now. I have no complaints really, but I didn't really see any major differences between 10.04 personally. The default theme got a bit more orange, but that's about all I noticed :D 

I hate the netbook edition. 10.04 was so much nicer IMO. I have to use the trackpad too much with Unity and that is bad because my trackpad is small and just plain poor.

UNE 10.10 was also horribly sluggish in the beta, to the point of being unusable, largely due to background processes sucking nearly 100% CPU time. I assume that's been fixed.

I've been having an issue with GDM lately... I seem to recall it happening in 10.04 for a brief period of time as well, but I'm not sure. At boot, gdm stops responding when I open a window, any application. I enter tty1, stop then start gdm, and all is well until the next reboot. Haven't had the time, or cared enough really to seek out a possible fix.

Kubuntu 10.10 was great in a VM but as a Live environment I had graphical corruption, especially with GTK+ applications, and pasting from the clipboard took around 1/3 of a second. Holding down ctrl+v and then releasing it caused it to just sit there slowly pasting the clipboard contents over and over until it had done it as many times as I had "pressed" the key.

10.10 is the best of the three Ubuntu distros I have tried so far. starting with 9.10. Not a great difference from 10.04 except the kernel , driver , software , and my title bar no longer disappears at random .
