System Specs

Lubuntu with nothing changed. Works pretty well. Some system stuff, like the Software center and everything that has anything to do with managing packets and so on, are brutally slow for some reason, but otherwise it works very well. It's even snappy!

And my wireless Logitec M305 which I thought was dead because windows doesn't recognize it? Works too. As well as the printer, just like that. I had to install some additional stuff to make the WLAN work though.

Yeah it is a bit weird that.. I was on Xubuntu (6.10 I think so it was a while ago) full time for at least 6 months. Nothing really worked they way it was supposed to, but most things I wanted I eventually got going. I wouldn't use it as my main system actually, but sometimes I get into the tinkering spirit and then Linux is awesome.

This machine will essentially be a typewriter though so I'm shouldn't have to mess about with it too much but anything can happen.

Also, now mouse gestures on the trackpad works.

Linux are excellent work machines. It's hard to take Microsoft serious after they launched 2012 with the metro interface. Seriously.

Not great looking UIs, I save those for my home machines.

I found this screenshot on Distrowatch - it's not mine, but I think it's the sexiest screenshot of a desktop I've ever seen in my life:


Now if only they'd put a comma after "fast" my life would be complete.

That is not a full Desktop Environment, but a WM (normally part of a DE) which is in this case one that can be used autonomously (as a minimal desktop). I assume it is Openbox, Blackbox or IceWM.
