Replies Chumbawumba Posted at 5:59 pm on Jan. 25, 2009 Ubuntu is great. Want to try fedora but it doesn't boot on my laptop... tried SUSE too I like the control panel but other than that I don't like it. x Jean Paul x Posted at 7:09 am on Jan. 15, 2009 no.. Sector Corrupt Posted at 4:10 am on Dec. 31, 2008 Ugh, for some reason Linux just seems to be failing me. I have no clue why it runs so badly on this computer, so I'm hoping that the new Windows might run a little better. That, or I'll find a distro other than Ubuntu that can handle running on this computer better without leaving me frustrated beyond belief. sakurag Posted at 10:43 pm on Dec. 27, 2008 I have used it, but never enjoyed it.  I work in Windows and play in MacOS. Sometimes I use Unix, but that's as close as I get. psychoticboy Posted at 11:26 am on Dec. 24, 2008 i installed it once and didnt know what to do after that lol warcrack Posted at 3:56 pm on Nov. 21, 2008 Yes, it's the only operating system I use. If you want me to go into specifics, I use Arch with Openbox as my WM, and XFCE as another session. Ubuntu is alright, but apt-get and synaptic are retarded. Pacman is a better package manager. l0ckert3ch Posted at 5:35 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from scalywag66 at 4:12 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 Quote: from l0ckert3ch at 1:00 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 Quote: from scalywag66 at 3:59 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 I have Ubuntu & XP on this machine, and Kubuntu on my other workstation   eek KDE... ugly lol Yea. I like Ubuntu more, but my lady finds Kubuntu easier to use than Ubuntu because the layout appears familiar to her since it looks like Windows. Eh, thats why i like the GNOME platform, more Mac-ish lol espresso8097 Posted at 1:40 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 Considering the fact that I use it, yes.  Fedora is my favorite. scalywag66 Posted at 1:29 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 Quote: from YeahBoii at 1:18 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 Quote: from scalywag66 at 4:16 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 Quote: from YeahBoii at 1:13 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 I downloaded and installed Ubuntu a while back and used it for a bit but I got tired of having to turn off my computer to go back on windows...    You could download and install some kind of 'virtual pc' software to run both at the same time.     This computer would probably die... It only has 512MB ram. This machine does also.  This one I'm on is the shittier of the two.  Where the other machine is about eight months old and in use, this VAIO I'm using has been around since 2002.  Is where I do my gaming except for some game that demand more power. allsmiles Posted at 1:26 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 Quote: from marshmellowman at 8:54 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 Of course, I don't live under a rock. Ubuntu is alright, but I think it's slightly overrated. Fedora is a lot better for one. This, minus the ubuntu is alright. I can't stand ubuntu :/ YeahBoii Posted at 1:18 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 Quote: from scalywag66 at 4:16 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 Quote: from YeahBoii at 1:13 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 I downloaded and installed Ubuntu a while back and used it for a bit but I got tired of having to turn off my computer to go back on windows...
