I should have said much lower than 50% then, I guess it's more around th 5% actually :) (estimation taken from the support I give in #kubuntu on irc.freenode.net and being part of the #kubuntu-devel team). Also, we should include the wicd package, works flawlessly here for WIFI with WPA. What bothers me more is the problems with Xorg drivers (ATI 6.x and NVIDIA 180), which the Ubuntu core devs have adopted blindly after Jaunty Alpha 5 and causes numerous problems with ATI and NVIDIA cards, not to mention the Intel graphic chip of the eeePC... and that causes disruption in much more than 5% of the users. Expect people to *not* be happy when they can't use 3D on their high performance cards or can't even start their desktop because of a faulty fglrx driver... And no, only the lucky ones have their ATI card running smoothly with the free radeon driver, so not really an alternative for full performance. But on the positive side: even with a lame Radeon driver and very basic desktop effects in XRender, my Thinkpad W500 runs so much better with Linux than it does with Vista :) Still, this is one more reason to be in favor of doing a Swiss Remix only with LTS releases, at least there goes much more polishing than there was for Jaunty. Always keep in mind that the non-LTS releases are always only steps to the next LTS, and we are still one year away from 10.04-LTS. So far, even Karmic Koala in its current Alpha 3 stage works better for me than Jaunty ever did...
