In the course of evaluating an OS to use for a home server on my newly acquired laptop, which I had planned to control using an external monitor and KVM, I ran into this embarrassingly glaring issue. It is obvious to me that Canonical is not interested in supporting major, basic functionality and instead pushes aside enormous bugs if they're not on their roadmap. This is absurd, and I am not interested in enduring Canonical's pursuit of pretty GUIs and lobotomized functionality. I will go with an OS that provides functionality that anyone could reasonably expect from an OS released within the past ten years.
