I ran Mint for a while and ended up going back to Windows 8. Linux IMO has a LONG way to go before its user friendly enough for Joe Sixpack. However I hope it does some day. It was cool to mess with.

I have used mint and Ubuntu, both very good systems but I agree with themailman..Linux has some work to do

The kernel (Linux) is fine. The "weakness" (if any) is in other system components being part of a Linux based OS. The user does not touch the kernel, so why on earth should the kernel be user friendly?

But let us start a new thread about that. I will do so at about 8 pm CET.

Last time I checked, Debian gave a choice in what desktop environment one wishes. But maybe they changed that.

Just installed Xubuntu 13.04 onto my Steambox. I heard that the *buntus run Steam games slightly faster than other distros. Had a usb drive lying around with this as a testing drive, figured might as well give it a go.

DOTA 2 is runnig great with the latest nVidia proprietary drivers.

EDIT
Just realized that I still had my old PCI soundcard installed in the machine, and it was providing sound. It was an X-FI Fatal1ty. Last time I ran that card in linux, it just wouldn't work. Tried on and off between '06-2010.
The funny thing is it runs better under Linux than it did under Win 7. Nice to see that Creative cards finally work.
Might have just wasted $20 buying a Xonar DG for Linux.

Yes, just apt-get cinnamon and use it or Gnome. :toast:

I generally get Xubuntu instead. Lubuntu is slow in ways it should be slow. Which is a universal problem with anything Ubuntu. This is on slower machines, I can't say I've tried them on fast machines (not since like version 6.xx).

Anyway on the netbook I'm battling with Slitaz, want to get the wifi going. Thinking about just replacing the card.

I started my Linux learning curve on Lisa-Mint. Still have it on one of my crunchers, currently in storage. I then received a present, and it had Ubuntu 10.whatever. Played around with that for a few days but then it went into storage, too.

I currently carry around my Asus Ultrabook with Win8. Yea, I know...too lazy/busy to change it. :p

Manjaro/Arch. I really hate Ubuntu, and Canonical for becoming more and more distant from there community, and making dumb decisions. They don't know how to maintain there own OS.

Currently running Ubuntu 12.04 in a dual boot on my laptop, and I have used Fedora in the past. I like both, but I'd also like to toy around with different distros and I'll likely use Mint next.

Also, I prefer to use Ubuntu for general effing around on my laptop, when I feel like playing a non-linux supported game I hop into Windows.
