So yeah, I've been looking at various operating systems today. I'm currently using Linux Mint. I installed Ubuntu, and hated it. Are there any others I should try/are good?
A single client connected to a residential gateway will always suck regardless of the operating system installed on it.
Canonical does linux best. I use Kubuntu but also like Ubuntu w/ gnome, I dislike unity very much. This is the point options, Mint being one of the Ubuntu choices with less support.
Meh. The standard Ubuntu was too ugly for my tastes, and the dock like side was annoying. I fucking love Mint, and how it's set up.
The side panel is called unity, all it is is a gnome/compiz plugin. You could have set it up with gnome cinnamon like Mint uses by typing Code: sudo apt-get install cinnamon instead of installing a whole new OS. Just FYI/future reference/etc.
lol, thanks. I'm new to that stuff, as you can tell. I was surprised they uninstall so quickly though.
If you want to waste a day configuring your system until it's usable, you could give Arch a shot. The wiki is extremely helpful, so definitely check that out if you do decide to take a day off.
Arch is nice but everyone who uses it is an elitist piece of shit. My prime example, the circle jerkers in the desktop threads on /g/.
Oh well, that's /g/ for ya. I mainly use it because the AUR adds another level of convenience for me, which I haven't found in another distro yet. Other reasons are because it's quite light and, as I mentioned, the wiki is very helpful. I don't really care who uses which distro though, they all have their pros and cons. As long as it works fine, why not?
Which distro will get me less pussy? Which desktop environment will get me even less pussy? Edit: I am currently using Mint 12 KDE and still get an alarming amount of tail.
Probably Gentoo and no DE at all. E: If you need to have a GUI frontend, use a window manager instead of a DE. Something like wmfs or awesome.
