LOL, buggy Linux shoved in the fucking trash can by Windows Vista.
>>It is awesome......I love it even though it is currently unstable on my system due to my ATI card......i guess.
What happens is my audio driver stops responding after a while, or the system will just lock up for no reason.
Im gonna switch back to my Geforce 4 MX400 to see if that helps.
My audio is Sound storm by nvidia (yes and old Nforce 2 system)>>
>>You know what would make me like Linux?
If they finally fucking supported the broadcom wireless driver...how bout that shit? The web is littered with people bitching about this since the dawn of time...and nothing.
I don't care what the reasons are...just support it.
I'm trying to use you and you aren't letting me! NDISWRAP MY DICK LINUX>>
After someone asks what "Ubuntu" means
>>Nah, it means "Can't install Debian" in african.>>
>>If they build in the tools to get it...why not just support it outright?
You have given me hope...but my screen flickers like the refresh rate is 20 or something. System reads 60, and I can't change it. I'll go blind at this rate. Didn't do it off the CD, but when I installed it it turned my laptop into a seizure inducing machine.>>
>>"is it a viable platform for PC gaming?"
Joke question?>>

Now the hate.
DAMN startup is slow. I easily wait twice as long to get to
a login prompt on Ubuntu than I do XP Pro. Shutdown is sorta
slow, as well. Speaking of which...
Hibernation mode sucks. I have to make sure I shut down all the way, before I close the laptop. Otherwise I freeze. Hard.
Driver issues. Its the reason why I went back to XP Pro after trying Red Hat a few years ago. Sound wouldn't work, the ethernet port would be disabled, and I'd have a hell of a time trying to run in a resolution any higher than 640x480. With Ubuntu, its alot better, but my internal wireless card doesn't work properly, I still have power management issues. My mouse still likes to wig out from time to time.
Still not very noob friendly. Its gotten closer with the easy-as-hell install and having so many apps ready to go upon first startup - but good luck trying to install anything else if you're new to linux. What if I want to install a new torrent program, or theres a cool open-source game that I'd like to try? Where's my installer program? What do I do if I want to set up a small home network to share files or game with friends?>>
