Haha... I've used Ubuntu and then Arch prior to switching mac. If you have enough time and nerves to do OS/desktop env stuff yourself, then go ahead... In the end I decided to use my time for more effective things and stop geeking around.

- dainiusse 5y agoYeah. Sounds like geeking around. 20 years ago we had this cult of "living in the console" and ignoring X servers at all. It was fun for some time - even watching some video stuff using mplayer's aalib, playing mud.... But then again - this is not about productivity - it is just fun, while if you need to do work, family, etc... There's rarely time for that.
- zibzab 5y agoIf using Ubuntu is "living in the console" for you, then something is seriously wrong with how you use it. I mean, you sure _can_ do it. But that's not what you are supposed to do.
- stinkytaco 5y ago"supposed" is a strong word here. I don't know that you're supposed to do anything except get done what you want to get done.
