Every post i read with the title "My first experience with Linux" starts with a breaking and an unpleasant experience. because nothing works/worked? I guess Linux distros should prove they work seamlessly. cause the Fedora i installed 1 year ago could not detect my monitor resolution. and i have to write a custom script to fix it. a very hard challenge event for me which is a programmer. i don't think normal users have the tolerance to bother stuff like this.
a lot of other stuff did not work too. and i don't think 1 year is enough time to fix them
- tmtvl 2y agoMy first experience with GNU/Linux was back in 2012. I had just accidentally borked my Windows 7 install on my desktop PC by mucking with the registry and needed to reinstall. Of course I had data on the machine which I wanted to keep, so I needed a way to get it off my desktop PC and onto my laptop. A quick internet search pointed me to using a Ubuntu live USB. Using it my desktop booted fine and I was able to back my data up with no problems. Afterwards I reinstalled Windows 7 and tried to go on the internet. Which failed because I hadn't installed the ethernet driver yet. Remembering that the internet worked just fine under that Ubuntu thing I decided to install that instead. It worked fine, and I've been using GNU/Linux ever since. I, however, haven't used Ubuntu since the whole fracas around the Amazon lenses got me distro hopping until I landed on my current mainstays of OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and Arch.
