 My Year With LinuxI don't mind telling you guys I would have saved myself a lot of frustration on my desktop computer if I had just stayed with Mepis, leaving it on there, but inquiring minds and all that :-)

Re: My Year With Linux
I'm not religious, but I have obviously need to start to believe that somebody up above loves me because I don't have any hardware problems with 6 different type of computers, any top 20 distros work just fine on them. What hardware problems did you have? _________________ Nobody is born with knowledge, knowledge comes from manuals and Google (and our beloved Wiki) |

Re: My Year With Linux I still belive in the old school of Linux, if it works for you, use it.

Re: My Year With Linux
Pretty much my experience too. My laptops are old (but not too old), and my desktops are built with standard off-the-shelf second-generation components. My miserly ways have served me well. _________________ Asus M4A87TD USB3 AMD 870 Socket AM3 Athlon II X4 630 2.8GHz Quad Core GeForce 9500 GT 1GB PCIe, nVidia TwinView Kingston 2G x 2 1333 DDR3 WD Caviar 500GB x 2 SATA hdd |

Re: My Year With Linux
Thinking along the same lines when I read the blog post. I don't use wireless, so I can't say anything about that. Haven't encountered the "major freezing problem" with Ubuntu 12.04 on the two installations here. Suspend, hasn't been a real issue. Fedora 14, 15, 16, and 17, all great here. Not sure what's meant by "this distro was crap, that distro was lousy," not enough info. A desktop pc and two notebooks here, with a bunch of different distros. I'm incredibly lucky, I suppose. |

Re: My Year With Linux
You are a very lucky person :-) I've had numerous problems from wireless not working to the computer overheating, from freezing up, video issues, to problems with suspend. Sometimes an OS will not boot up at all. I've had the best luck with Mepis and SolusOS across my computers, as mentioned, Ubuntu has been a crap shoot. |

Re: My Year With Linux SolusOS -- does sound pretty nice, for folks who want that GNOME 2 experience. Glad to see a few more distros out there besides Mepis that are based on Debian Stable, at least to some degree. Another nice one, at least here, Saline OS, for those who prefer Xfce.
