I'm either not having the problem you described or it's not related to the OS.
- Youtube is horrible for me to watch in Germany, but that's the carrier's problem.
- I'm a ruby user, but not a developer, so I can't tell much about that.
- Documentation depends on what you're searching for. Ubuntu itself provides a great set of documentation and community wikis. The forums are also very helpful, so is askubuntu.com.
- As said: Ubuntu follows a strict release cycle regarding the library versions.
- Printing works perfectly fine for me with any printer I tried so far. If your printer does not work, complain at your printer's manufactorer.
