Well, how are things to be improved if no proper bugs are filed? Bug-filing is very important, and if accompanied by a patch, then its premium. Some maintainers do not respond, yes, but many are happy to solve the issue, and other users will benefit from this as well. > Also I do not think it is required to file bug reports when a single > switch of the distribution solves 90% of all bugs. And if you encounter bugs in Ubuntu, you are going to switch to the next distro? I don't mind you finding the distro which serves you best, but IMHO returning proper bug reports, with patches if possible, is the least people can do as a return for such a great free plattform.
