Linux

[Sacrelicious]

So my computer crashed, yet again, and I decided that I had enough of it doing this every year or so. As I was forced to format the hard drive, I I thought it might present an opportunity to do some experimentation, so I switched over to linux as my only operating system about 1 week ago.

As of 1 week, I will state for the record, my computer has never functioned better, its literally tripled in speed, and Linux has all the essential software I need and more.

Anyone else use it? Any suggestions for reading material I should look into? I'm still trying to understand the file structure and terminal.

All hail LINUX!

Seriously? I'm the only nerd running Linux on this whole forum?

Shameful, SBR, shameful....

Been running it for years, the Linux distros have had a shakeup post Ubuntu 10.10, not for the better. I have since moved over to Linux Mint with MATE. IMO, Mint with MATE is currently the best.

Incidentally, a lot of sharps use Linux , squares use Windows and morons use Mac.

Running Mint with Cinnamon myself, I am shocked by how fast it is.

Try MATE, you an customise much more, make sure you've got compiz fusion.

I am.

I am.

Sorry, that was a typo, I meant to say MATE. Cinnamon is pretty fast, that would be my second favourite after MATE.

I'm a Linux (Ubuntu) guy... love it. I'll never go back to a Windows platform.

Why? Linux doesn't hafta use a goddamn registry. Total waste of space and time, Mr. Gates.

For sure, it makes a hell of a lot of sense. I just never figured I'd have such a painless time running a computer.

Amazing what a bit of open source and peer review for software will do, ha.

I might set up a partition if I ever feel the need to use proprietary software, but aside from that, no plans of ever going back.
