Well dang. Now I have to find another go-to Linux distro.

• niuzeta 13y ago
  Mint.

    Which is just a re-packaged, slightly buggier Ubuntu...
    • niuzeta 13y ago
      Should've specified as a Mint Debian edition. The thing is wonderous.
      • ta_koudeeu 13y ago
        except when then suddenly release an update pack that breaks the whole os, which is every update pack. Just use debian.
        • niuzeta 13y ago
          I loved my debian and I still do. But the last hdd fail prompted me to try something new and I was very busy at the time. Naturally I wanted the OS to work 'just outside the box'. I'm reasonably satisfied with the Mint now. Sort of.

    I was thinking of going with Debian, actually. I don't know, it's been forever since I shopped around for a good Linux distro.
    • dfrey 13y ago
      Debian is great so long as you don't require current versions of packages.
    • niuzeta 13y ago
      I've had a good time with Debian. One day I will go back to Debian...

      I have had good luck with OpenSUSE. They package the latest stuff (I am on kernel 3.7.10 now). They're also very community-focused.

  Trust me, you will be back to ubuntu. They are actually good and competent.

    Your incessant whoring for Canonical in this discussion is the precise behavior that many in the Linux community hate about vocal proponents of Ubuntu. The fact that you just implied that the developers of other distros (which includes Debian!) are not good and competent is disgusting. It's people like you to whom Martin was referring when he wrote, "There are many users who seem to think that Ubuntu is a religion and Canonical without fail. If you criticize technical decision you are a heretic and the holy inquisition is coming after you to burn you."
    • general_failure 13y ago
      Hyper-sensitive people like you are exactly the problem we have. I said something good about Ubuntu and you guys are off assuming that I said that the rest is not good and competent. Why do people assume that? X is good doesn't mean Y is bad. If I say, trust me, you will get back to using X does not mean Y is bad. It means X is that good.

        In idiomatic English, "actually" in the context you used it suggests a contrast to something else. "I'm considering asking Bob to do this job." "You should ask Sally, she actually knows what she's doing."
      • chris_wot 13y ago
        The use of the word "actually" implies that you don't believe anyone else is good and competent.

    you again ? so much crap is amounting to fanboyism and branding
• ta_koudeeu 13y ago
  arch is worth trying.
