All Linux Things

Agree as I tried originally before i came over to the other site and really hated the experience. There was nothing I could recommend to users about this OS. Tried it again recently, much better but still a pain in the butt to use.

Im assuming you got hooked on laptops due to your work. Im a desktop guy and I deal with all form factors including mini-itx but prefer USFF/SFF for special uses and my dekstops for gaming and projects. Most of the laptops are for my wife and for me to use when I work with clients.

I like the cold weather and I actually live south of Wash DC in Virginia. Didnt realize you were from this area. Ive been here since 1967 but originally Im from NYC.

True OS is based on FreeBSD and in the top ten over at distrowatch.com, really dont know why as its not very good.

Not sure why he decided to compare Mint Ubuntu to Debian as its such an apples vs oranges comparison. I posted it to highlight the differences for some readers.

Welcome to the site Chris!

My favorite is MX Linux 17. The only distros Ive used with Mate were PCLinuxOS and Ubuntu Mate.

Dont see any issues with that but its up to the boss to approve.

These are direct Debian based distros, not Ubuntu based, and many that were Ubuntu based switched to Debian, such as Deepin and Netrunner.
