I've been wondering what distro Schleswig-Holstein will be using, or if they are going with their own in-house distro. Things have changed a lot since Munich tried it. They may not have given it a...

This is, of course, the correct answer.

I've got Ubuntu 18.04 installed on my son's PC. It's running just fine with no issues. I've currently got an old black-and-white Brother printer installed which also works fine.

He's wanting a...

1. Slimjet
2. Firefox-ESR
3. Vivaldi / Opera (interchangeably)

There's no correct answer for best desktop environment. They all do their job. I like most of them, including KDE, but prefer Gnome, Cinnamon, MATE, or Xfce if I have a choice. I had 2 laptops and...

Try something besides Ubuntu.

Yup, Antergos is a very easy to use installer for Arch. If you can install Ubuntu, you can install Arch with Antergos. I've been running it on a desktop and one of my laptops for several months. ...

Great video on distro hopping. I have a couple of friends who are inveterate distro hoppers. I'm not talking about loading up a distro in a VM and checking it out. I'm talking...

I switched to Antergos a few months ago, just because I wanted to try a rolling release, and I'm quite happy so far. Steam games run fine. Pretty much everything else runs fine. I've only had one...

I am totally fine with a delay when they want more time to repair flaws they've discovered and thoroughly test it before release. It makes perfect sense.

I was somewhat the same in that I used Ubuntu early on several years ago, then moved to Mint, and now back to Ubuntu, probably for good. What did it for me was Ubuntu MATE 16.04. I haven't found...

Thanks for the responses. I think I'll install MATE in a dual boot with Win 10 on their laptop. I'm pretty sure they'll like it just fine and won't have any trouble with it. It's working...

A family member's i3 Acer laptop who is new to Linux in general. I use Ubuntu MATE because I really like it, but would Unity work as well? He and his significant other will be using it in a dual...

Yep, I feel the same way about the Ubuntu build. Very nice. Actually, after fiddling around with FF29 for a few days, I'm growing to like it more and more, even the standard non-Ubuntu version.

I've never run Win 8, and don't intend to. I do, however, have one of my machines in a dual boot with Win 7 simply so I can game with games I have that don't run on Linux and I won't be bothered to...

Update packs on rolling release distros can break a system, especially huge update pack offerings. The last time I checked, LMDE had some pretty large update packs, and there were quite a number of...

I'm with you on this one. I'm hanging on to my S3 until Ubuntu phones are available with my carrier. I'm so ready. I hope they don't take forever to arrive so I have to grab something else in the...

When I installed 14.04, I just added the parts in grub between the quotes for AMD HDMI with my 6850. It's working fine for me. Your mileage may vary.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="radeon.audio=1"

Windows is not bad. For every linux installation, I have a Windows VM. But I don't want Windows running my machine, though.

I've often wondered why people announce on various boards that they're leaving/quitting or whatever. Why not just quietly go away? Do they seek validation? It doesn't make a lot of sense.

Oh, I know. I've had it installed under Linux before. But I've already got the VM for other things so why not use it for Netflix, too? I generally leave the VM up in another workspace, so it's...

Not a very good trolling effort on the part of the OP.

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 on one of my desktops, an AMD 965 quad core with 4GB RAM. I have a Win 7 VM in Virtualbox, using 1.5GB RAM. It runs fast, smooth and problem free. I use it mostly for...

Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse here, too. I didn't have to install a thing. It just worked out of the box. Ubuntu detected them right away and it was off to the races. It's the way it...

I have to say, I kind of like the second one, as well. Sort of minimalist on the tahr front.
