Why I’m Leaving Ubuntu for Debian

Edit: Ooh, almost forgot: http://i.imgur.com/2sCYFvh.png Ubuntu has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Would you prefer seeing a terminal login prompt after X crashed?

Um... I would? Then I can reattach to my tmux sessions, keep working, and restart at my leisure... or just restart x.

But I haven't used ubuntu in a while, so perhaps this is just a case of I'm not in the right user group for the distro.

Obviously x didn't crash, since the window appears in x. I get the same thing every time I start Ubuntu. When I ask for details, it's like "oh, I don't actually know what crashed, but I think something did."

I actually had to disable apport because of my relatively new hardware. When idle the GPU can enter a super low powered state which the Ubuntu driver interprets as a crash, then the GPU comes back online and... the crash reporter crashes. Resulting in about 20 'internal error' pop ups until it gives up.
