Ubuntu 16.04 on client and server. Just phenomenally stable on a basic laptop. Particularly when I hear about High Sierra and UWP woes.
Very much looking forward to Bionic Beaver and Mesa 18!
Am still looking for a good distro as bootable usb thumb with persistence. Alpine is very convenient if you just want a quick shell. Tails for situations requiring more privacy. But apart from running mkusb and creating my own ubuntu live stick. Is there anything really specifically tailored to this use case?
- odonnellryan 9y agoIt isn't hard to create a live ubuntu stick if you like Ubuntu, no? The live-boot CDs have always worked well for me (when I need them, for me that's rarely) I can only imagine a USB that you can boot from would be good as well?
- jxub 9y agoThe only major grip I have with Ubuntu is their deficient support for Nvidia drivers. The Noveau et al configuration was a particular kind of hell for me. Ubuntu is hands down the best OS for development for me though.
- ktta 9y ago>their deficient support for Nvidia drivers I believe the problem is with Nvidia. You'd get the best experience with Ubuntu since it is the most used by average customers, so well tested.
