Another reason why I'm not using OS X anymore. It just took time to be a master with Linux, but it's worth it. The best support, works in almost every machine.

- mtgx 14y agoAre you using Ubuntu now? If you are, how easy/hard was it to transition from Mac OS, UI wise? I've never used a Mac, but I get the feeling Canonical is mostly trying to be "inspired" by the Mac OS, rather than Windows. Because of that, as a Windows user, I found the transition to Ubuntu a bit frustrating, and I found Linux Mint much more natural to use - like I didn't really have to learn anything new. Surprisingly, I even find it a bit more intuitive than Windows 7. After years of using Windows 7 since beta, I still don't know where some stuff is located compared to XP.
- pimeys 14y agoYes, Ubuntu. I'm a kind of old Linux user. I've been using it here and there for the last 17 years. Nine years ago I bought my first Mac and finally found Linux again when I started to be good in programming. My setup is very minimal. Using tiling window manager (xmonad) and set of my own widgets. Everything is Solarized and with my laptop all programs full screen. At work I've been using this kind of setup (but without Apple hardware) for years. For me, Apple (or Microsoft) doesn't provide as good UI as Linux does with my own setup. My config files are even in SVC, so when installing a new machine, all my stuff is there right away.
