I have yet to find a single thing I wanted, or didn't want, that I
couldn't fully control with apt-get. I'm even running Linux Kernel
3.13.2 on my workstation (pulled from 14.4 repos so not really
production ready yet, but close enough for me). This solves some
issues I was having with my HD webcam not working.

What is it you feel you've lost control of?
