Distro Team Member.
Moderator. Distro reviewer here at LQ. Tech support on forums I mod at. Plus forum maint. Alpha and bug tester on pre-release distros that I am a team member of. Donate linux boxes to the elderly. Run my own Bike Shop. Old as the hills and twice as dusty. I am disappointed you young cats only have one page to this thread. Must be, "it is all about me" kicking in I guess. Every little bit helps. I did not turn on my 1st computer till 2008. When I joined this forum. Even if you are clueless like I used to be. Join up and you will get better at this like I did. Support is a 2 way street. You get back what you give. I can say this from experience. Quote:
Here is wishing you people good luck. I'd help out but I posted my list to show I am only human and give back already in my own way. If you took off the 1st 4 items in my list, or I could drop 30 years. I'd be game for this. So far it looks like a nice bunch of people posting in this thread. Code:

I have used many distro's, but the ones I like most are the ones based on Debian.
I used Ubuntu for a long time, but when Unity came along I discovered what a resource-hog it was and moved off it. Struggled for months to find a distro with at least a halfway decent GUI and settled on Debian/LXDE, then Debian/Mate and now I'm running Debian/Cinnamon. My Debian/Cinnamon setup seems much snappier than the Mint/Cinnamon installation I tried. Kinda strange since Mint were the initiators of the Cinnamon GUI and that it was originally developed for Mint. |
Hi !
I just continue t use Windows - really sad to say. This depends on a lot of factors, which would require me to write a book, but do not have the time. Just some scratch: - For big installations, one would need a filesystem snapshot and restore on click. - Big software parts, like the open office, does not fullfill my need or are not compatible with the huge amount of files I have. - Nothing beats the outlook/calendar combo, whcih I need the whole day. - Linux has not enough UIs for daily admin work - Linux has not enough drivers for the "not-usual-hardware" [failed miserably for Atom-Processor graphics][is oekoloic computing not on radar??] Keep smiling, I have more linux boxes then Windows (remaining one). Windows is definitively spyware which has to be banned. I keep staying to do it - but there are big burdons. Best regards, Manfred |

learning Linux from noob's ++
Noobs?
You know the term before "noob*" was lamer? Not such a glorious title anymore, is it? a co-op of noobs helping noobs. Oh yes, that will ! work The internet needs one more of those! a co-op of noobs... Sounds like youtube. hey, there you go, younoob.com </sarcasm> Don't make penguins cry. Have a Great Day! |
Frankbell you can turn those off in most cases... like my favorite KDE, which can be made to look or do anything another can. :) But, choices are why we love GNU\Linux right? :D
Peace. |
