I'm getting pretty tired of hearing about Ubuntu. The web has become supersaturated with 'Ubuntu Tutorials' and top X lists about why Ubuntu is better than sliced bread.
Enough is enough already.

If it's so wonderful, why can't they make a wifi driver for it that doesn't suck? >:|

That sounds like a Linux thing, not an Ubuntu thing. There may not be a click-to-install driver for your wireless interface, but I'd have a hard time believing that no one in the Linux community could get it to work (but damn, when you run into that situation, it sucks trying to figure it out on your own, if you can).

More likely the problem was with my wireless card itself; I found hordes of drivers for every other wireless card under the sun except mine, and of the tiny handful that claimed to be compatible with mine, a grand total of zero of them actually worked.

That's what I said; it's a problem that probably affects all of Linux, not just Ubuntu.
I've had a similar problem with my keyboard on my Powerbook. Currently my DownArrow registers as my RightClick, even after loading different keymaps, trying to override those maps, and then finally trying to FORCE the key to be something else.
