HI chadwin - Welcome to w7forums

Were you talking about Windows 7 or Linux?

I think he means this, Cliff. I am a long way from Linux, but have heard good reports on it. If you have tried Ubuntu, you will be familiar with it.

Ubuntu is horrible for a Linux distro though, not half nearly as good as Arch or Mint

Not to rock the boat here but isn't Linux Mint a derivative of Ubuntu?

There is SO MUCH confusion when it comes to Linux distros because some say this distro is better, other say that distro is better. It all boils down to a very confusing mess of "he said, she said".

Who is right? Which distro is better? Depends on the day of the week and the weather if you ask me. One person advised me that Mint 10 sucked, that Mint 11 was way better, then another said the exact opposite. The Ubuntu was great but Mint sucked. If the Linux community is having this many issues regarding distros, then it's no wonder that everyone else is so confused.

As they say, "opinions are like a--holes; everybody's got one and they all stink but mine"

It is guaranteed with every new OS release that they will improve one thing and trash another.

No No. You are so wrong. My opinion is always correct!!!!!!!! All others are not worth a mention!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's lots of others derived from Ubuntu, but not by the same developer. That's what makes up for the difference, things are changed around, other things are improved, and they didn't really improve on how bulky Ubuntu is for computer resources. The only reason people use it is because it's an easy migration from a Windows OS to Linux, and it's also more widely known. Same reason why the majority of people use IE... Firefox doesn't come pre-installed on your machine (more than likely), and same thing with Iron or Chromium.

Sabayon and OpenSuse are far more superior than Ubuntu, as the same with Arch.

Mint 10 is bad, and same with Mint 9, Mint 8 was better than 9, and Julia was horrible in comparison with 11. As stated, Ubuntu is easy to use, which is why some beginner Linux users will always tell you that Ubuntu is better. But that's probably only on a user configurability level.

They aren't having many issues at all, it's Open source, the development on Linux will surpass Windows at some point i'm sure, unless they all give up and the kernel goes down the drain.

I've liked all the Mint versions. Found them the easiest to install and use.
OpenSuse just did not want to install and Ubuntu did something I did not like, cannot recall now.

Now I've set up my XP/7 dual boot I don't bother with any of the Linux versions anymore. Linux is getting better all the time with it's GUI but to get the best from them you still need some bash skills.

One of these days I'm gonna build up enough desire to install Linux. At least one of them, if I ever decide which flavor I want to try first.

The only thing I know to do is read, learn, and keep my mouth shut every time a Linux topic comes up.
