I Installed Ubuntu

[Devia Eleven]

I installed Ubuntu on this Laptap last night out of curiosity, did a full wipe over Windows 7. The results are confusing, no more using Windows applications, (with the exception of Wine). The navigation is also fairly convoluted but I think I want to get accustomed to Linux.

Un-Install.

Or you might die.

You'll survive this radical change: no more hunting for apps on the net, all fetchable from secure large repositories.

i installed xubuntu on my old ibook g3 as a goof. checked everything out, seemed to be working fine and a fair bit faster then OSX. haven't turned it on since.

I've used Ubuntu in the past on virtual machines, but not actual hardware. It makes a good virus-proof OS when you need one.

Nice. I've found that Ubuntu has a good balance between easiness and power compared to some of the other distros I've used.

 

You might want to learn some CLI commands just in case.

Who's for double clicking and just doing what it should?

Ubuntu has alot of repositories, some that are quite surprising. I Personally i use it when i want to get things done on time.

I like Ubuntu but I just don't like the way how the Linux kernel is designed, every time I update the kernel I have to recompile the drivers and that to me is an issue especially with non-open source drivers. If Linus moves to the Hybrid kernel and I probably will move to GNU/Linux.
