You become a customer, when you start paying them. Until then you are just a user. The license which most of the packages included in Ubuntu use says: "BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES", so what did you expect?

^ The problem with randomly downloading stuff from the internet without reading the instructions: you likely won't know how to operate it correctly.

You just have to say something even if it doesn't make sense don't you?

TRIM isn't mentioned in what you call "the instructions" [1].

Who cares?

The design still sucks, that's what matters.

Oh, well this sandwich you made me might have glass shards in it, but you gave it to me for free, so why should I complain?
