I’ve been using Ubuntu for nearly three years and I’ve been generally quite happy with (usually) how simple it is to use and how most of my things work with the OS. I was happily using the 9.0.4 distro for quite some time and decided to upgrade to 9.1 Oops.

The release seems rushed. This may have been to try and beat the release of Windows 7 but thats up for debate and speculation. I’ve had nothing but problems with this release.

My video colors are off and inverted. The video players (movie player, vlc, etc) will only work if Firefox is not running or has ever booted during the session. Firefox isn’t as stable or reliable in this distribution and uses huge amounts of system resources.

Complaints with 9.1 seem to be quite common and it would be a good idea to not upgrade quite yet. This release feels rushed and how it handles also feels just as rushed.
