From what I can see with the bug report is that it is still active (Triage), awaiting someone to deal with it.

That does not mean it will not get fixed in the future, I'm fairly certain with the high exposure of this article will get it done more rapidly.

Once fixed can the author come up with something else that supports their argument?

I would assume that the printer was meant just as an example of the problem (which is that new releases may break things that used to work).

That said, I've been using Ubuntu as my main OS for about 2 years and I've never had any real problems (that I didn't cause myself...) with it, so I don't quite agree with the author.

Moved to ubuntu as my main workstation since past 6 months. No problems as yet. And its fun to tinker around the system. Finally librated !
