Or just switch to a less hostile operating system. As more things move to the web, this is becoming a very reasonable proposition.

  I am using Linux since about mid-2012 exclusively, I switched after wasting a month trying to get git in command line working properly on Windows.

    That's actually one thing I miss from Windows when I'm on Linux: Git for Windows is wonderful in my opinion. I don't know how to use Git on the command line (or rather, I'm not terribly comfortable with it). I don't use Git every day or even every week, so Git for Windows is a godsend to get me to actually commit things. Git on Linux is much, much more difficult for me.

      There are Git GUIs for Linux as well. I don't use them, so I can't recommend anything personally, but I'm sure Google could turn up something useful :)

        There is git-gui is nice. There are also plugins for editors and IDE's.

  I love my touch screen. How's touch screen support on Linux?
  • coldpie 11y ago
    I don't know. I suggest googling your particular laptop model, or better yet, launching a recent livecd and giving it a shot.

    My touch screen works fine from my Vaio E Series to Linux Mint.

    Drivers: Linux usually supports almost everything, there was even a build of Fedora for the Nexus 7. UI: KDE especially has very good touch screen support, including a thing that automatically changes system UI when you connect a mouse, or keyboard, or so on, and switches between phone style, tablet style, desktop with touch, and desktop style on the fly. (Essentially Microsoft’s Continuum) Since 2012. I used KDE Plasma Active on my Nexus 7 for some time, actually.
