Yo.... anyone running Linux?

HUH?

 

[Responsible Allen Iverson]

I dual-boot Ubuntu 12.04 on my desktop and it's also installed on my netbook

I always got a vmware running of Ubuntu.

Is ubuntu that wave? Anyone still using it?

You can easily try out Ubuntu with a Windows machine by running Wubi

Windows installer | Ubuntu

I have Ubuntu on a VM (Virtualbox on my 2011 Macbook Air) and Lubuntu on a m1330 I use strictly for work.

I got Ubuntu 12 running on my comp

I had to get a new wireless card, couldn't get the old one to work. It is pretty good. Boots up WAY faster than Windows, runs smoother on the internet too.

Only problem I have now is accessing my home server. My recording equipment doesn't work on it either.

If I could, I would have a desktop to run Windows, and then have an Ubuntu netbook. Really all I wanted it for

A couple of us run Ubuntu or another flavor of Linux. The 32-Bit version is probably still the way to go if compatibility is the main concern.

What exactly is the issue with the home server? Recording equipment is a given, not much is supported out of the box

I can see my home server, but when I try to click into it to pull up the folder list it says it can't connect. Its a common problem w/12.04, haven't found a straightforward solution.

I use Ubuntu as my main OS and rarely have problems with anything.

Basically I built my computer and was too cheap to buy Windows, so I was like "fukk it, I'll roll with Ubuntu".

Ubuntu 12.04 64bit

Like Liquid alluded to, WINE gets on its period with the 64bit version.

because I play many games on my desktop Ive got Win 7

but on my notebook I roll with Ubuntu 12.04 and its fukkin perfect for it!

so smooth not having to install ANY drivers
plus everything at hand, you can even search for videos on youtube etc WITHOUT a browser, just type it in "start menu"

oh and battery life of my notebook on win 7 1h~1,5h
ubuntu 12.04 almost 3h

Not since I copped the Macbook. But Ubuntu is piff, I used to dual boot with Windows 7.

Ooo I forgot about WINE

That could be a good fukking look.
