I just lost my drain of thought

So I’ve been using Ubuntu off and on for about a month. Off, because it wouldn’t start up anymore if I didn’t defrag on Windows beforehand, because Ubuntu wasn’t given enough space to grow and my hard drive was kind of getting full. I was excited at first because I felt like I was being freed from the monopoly that is Microsoft, but Ubuntu sometimes causes me much stress. I’m not the type to stress out a lot, but Ubuntu’s done it. I don’t know if it’s just me, but my Firefox on Ubuntu is a mofo. When I right-click because I want to open a link in a new tab or window, sometimes a Save Link As window pops up or a Del.icio.us favoriting window pops up or my computer just laughs at me. Many a time have I merely hovered over a link without clicking anything and I have been directed to that particular page. When I try to write a post as I just did earlier, my text decides to repeat itself over and over again randomly so my post seems more repetitive than usual and not intentionally. Oftentimes, in the middle of my typing (this happens in Pidgin, too), out of nowhere a link will be pasted in the middle of my text. This embarrassed me a little when I sent an email to one of my professors and did not realize that Ubuntu had pasted the link to my del.icio.us in the middle of my text. It’s really odd because I don’t know what the pattern of it is, because I try to re-type what I have typed to see what it is that triggers a pasting of a link that I did not copy and it never works. Yesterday, Ubuntu was frustrating me because I couldn’t get my DVD to work in VLC player, even though everyone says that it will play DVDs. I was hoping I could install less stuff if VLC could play it, but I ended up having to install packages of codecs and junk and several other media players and finally Kaffiene pissed me off the least so I’m keeping it. On top of all this, my adapter to charge my laptop is being a son of a B and works but half the time it’s plugged in. And my cooling pad sucks major butt, working possibly only 1/100 of the time it’s plugged in. I feel like technology’s been against me lately.

As cool as Ubuntu is for the tech savvy, I have pretty basic needs and if my programs continue to be botched, I may not make the switch over to it after all.

And another thing, I can’t watch ABC shows on Ubuntu without having to install some extra shizz! This I do not blame Ubuntu for. I think this is just the network being a d-bag.
