Anyone else running Linux?

12 years ago

Big fan of Linux, but I have stuck with Windows for my desktops/laptops. The software I use works best on Windows.
I use Linux for my servers though...as most do

Thanks

You can't beat Linux for server oriented work, nothing beats it. One huge benefit is,.. It's free. Nearly every Tech firm runs a Linux server too.

I encourage all of you to install Linux and give it a whirl.

I'm running Linux Mint KDE, mostly based on Ubuntu/Debian. This year is the first time I've switched fully to Linux and stayed with it. I have almost no reason to ever use Windows now (to test things in IE) but when I do I hate it

I put 4Gb ram and a fast SSD in my laptop and it runs better than most expensive Windows machines. As someone who develops open source software I think it was inevitable that one day I would leave Windows behind.

I also have Lion on my Mac which is great too and also Unix-based.

Thanks

I run Ubuntu Unity. I still have Windows installed for games but, 85% of my desktop time is spent in Linux - it's great for coding and compiling source code. If games were available on Linux I would wipe Windows from my life.

Ubuntu is awesome! I'm still attached to some applications and games that require Windows so it's a battle at the boot-up grub screen for me

Yep, Ubuntu.

Took some thinking to get the net to work, winwrap and all that, but now good. Solved some space problems for me on my old Acer.

Ubuntu is awesome, although I'm not quite so keen on the latest version with its Unity desktop and Zeitgeist logging everything you do on your computer. Think I'll stick with 10.04 for now.

It's a good idea to burn a boot CD or USB of Ubuntu, (1) for backup, and (2) for productivity. If you want to clear your desktop of clutter, just insert the boot CD and it's like having a fresh, uncluttered computer!

Thanks

Unity is fine for me, it gives it a better look IMO.

I have used Ubuntu for many years and I absolutely love Linux. I do use Windows 7 as my main operating system however and use Linux for "fun". I do have less problems with it.
