Sure, I've seen plenty of negative reviews. "Ubuntu didn't work on my hardware", "it isn't
ready for the desktop", etc. Sometimes the complaints are valid, sometimes not.

Ubuntu Wonderful?

Here are the valid ones

havp start-up script is broken (someone already reported this and last I checked it was still
not fixed).

Ubuntu could never get my resolution right 1600x1040+nVidia card. Fedora and openSUSE has no
issue.

havp unmaintained

Looks fixed to me:

havp looks unmaintained in Debian, perhaps you would like to adopt it?
