It was said that Mint was more stable. I am saying that it is not. Better is
opinion. More stable is a statement of fact. I am correcting misinformation.

Mint exists because Ubuntu has created a market for people who want what
Ubuntu does not offer out of the box. But Mint users should realise that
they are getting this only because Ubuntu has taken a principled stand and
not because it is inferior in any way.

I don't resent Mint, but I do resent users of other distributions painting
Ubuntu in a false light. And Mint is another distribution. I test Ubuntu
from alpha to final release. Ubuntu is no more buggy than any other
distribution and I test many distros. There are more problems reported
because it has by far the most users. More users means more problems. Much
of what you read about Karmic being buggy is just hearsay from people who do
not use Ubuntu and have no stake in seeing it improve. They just like to
criticise and rain on someone else's parade.

Ubuntu is not perfect, but no distribution is. Mint is what it is. Ubuntu is
what it is. Just don't try to make it into something that it is not. If it
sounds like I am being picky, I am not. This is an Ubuntu forum and I expect
people here to at least support Ubuntu instead of trying to destroy it with
false assertions.
