I'm a convert! [View all]
I have few problems with Windoze, and even kinda like 8.1. I Did try to use Red Hat years ago in the Win 95 days and it was too much of a PITA, so stayed with what worked, sort of.
But, I have this old laptop with Win 7 on it that is nothing but trouble. I was about to toss it when I just had a feeling and installed Ubuntu-- dual boot in case there's some Windows stuff I need.
Holy Crap! Aside from a heart-stopping notice about trashed files (that were rebuilt and cleaned up) the install was painless from a thumb drive and the laptop is now like a new machine. Fast, crash free and 90% of what I use it for I can do now with much less hassle.
No need to do this to my main home machine, but glad to see linux has grown up.
