The reason I take a day off when dealing with Ubuntu upgrades is that while they provide, let's say, OTA updates to get you on the new OS version, I generally have no luck and always end in the upgraded OS but with lots of small bugs here and there (especially when you have NVIDIA Optimus on-board). Add on top of that that I'm not as experienced in Ubuntu as I'm on Windows (and that I keep personal data on a different partition) and at the end I'll simply wipe everything on the Ubuntu partition to start clean instead of hunting and manually fixing those small bugs like I would probably do if I were dealing with WindowsÂ

I've had much worse results than that with Skyrim animations, and that's using a workflow that others have had working and documented.

ubuntu is a distro that comes pre-broken. I'd recommend using literally any other distro if you want it to actually work.

Nah, it's not that bad, when I do a clean install it works very well. Another reason I've picked Ubuntu is that while it's nowhere near the best distro, it's one of the most popular ones, so it's pretty easy to find pre-compiled packages of virtually anything, and it also fits well with my light usage (mostly to compile simple programs or to use Linux-only tools). But I also agree, if Linux was my main (and only) OS I would probably pick something else instead of Ubuntu...
No one even commented on me making fun of ubuntu? You guys are no fun!
We're too busy fixing our Linux systems because an update broke xorg again

Ubuntu is made specifically to make maintenance harder. If you were willing to go through the extra effort of compiling things yourself, and occasionally installing things yourself, most other distros it would be far easier to perform maintenance than to reinstall the thing entirely. An example would be arch linux, which you can find almost anything in the AUR, and with AUR helpers set up you're just one command away from installing almost anything, including a lot of things that are supposed to be 'buntu-exclusive. The downside, of course, is that sometimes very particular things absolutely hate working in arch, like most of my pro audio stuff.
also, arch can be a bitch to set up your first seven times setting it up
