Linux for your taste (sorry Naw :D) (26 Viewers)

I'm in the process of making that mistake at the moment, upgrade taking forever to download the packages. But before I started I made a backup..

My upgrade went really smooth but the outcome is ugly. I still have a working system but not as I want it to be.

I am almost done with Ubuntu installation. Finally I am giving Gnome another chance.

 

[JCK]

Ok, I have to admit that I am loving the smoothness of Gnome. I really am.

I am no longer after the looks, I just want something clean and apparently I've been missing out on such stability that Ubuntu offers.

Just to pimp the system a bit, some classical KDE applications have to be installed.

Started the upgrade around 18. Let it run until now. Had to abort cause it was making no progress with downloads anymore :wth:

 

[JCK]

Nothing beats a fresh install.

As I said, I am loving it.

 

[Martin]

Bah, maybe I will try that too. Had enough for today though.

Took me 2 hrs 55 mins to update (download and install)... Fairly easy process...

The OS looks neat, and seems faster than the Jaunty Jackalope... The boot time is slower though (at least thats the first impression)...

Haha funny, I'm using the same wallpaper.

Good to finally see some wallpapers that are somewhat usable.

I love the way they're paying more attention to appearance/UI. Very nice.

After a long time of not even trying a GNOME OS, that was my impression as well, after booting up the current Mint. It's polished, fast, responsive...top notch to be honest. Didn't miss KDE at all.

For all you "linux" lovers. Not work friendly.

You do know that's Linus Torvalds on the second pic?

I didn't at first.

 

[Martin]

That's such an awesome picture

*posting from karmic*

The smurfs or Linus?

The smurfs or Linus?

Linus, he's a troll naturally

 

[V]

Geek.

I can't take my eyes of the smurfs. Funny and so beautiful at the same time. I wish I knew how to spam, I'd spam the whole forum with it.

Of course I did. I'm surprised you didn't!

 

[V]

I know of the man, but wouldn't recognize him if he passed me on the street.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

If you don't know what he looks like, then you don't know the man. Especially when he's famous, and you can find his pic on Wiki.

 

[V]

I said "I know of the man", meaning I've heard about him, read about him in articles, knew what he does, etc. but never saw his picture or head any interest in googling it.
