I just tried using ubuntu 11.10 for the first time. I have never used any linux software before and I have to say; I have never been that disappointed.

First of all, it took me a good half hour to set up my dual screens because i had to go to several websites just to find out how to do that. Then installing teamspeak never worked, because my computer would crash whenever it opened the .run file (which is just a huge text file as it seems. My computer is quite powerful, too). Also no sound :(

@psi43 The dual screen issue has been around for a long time, they are finally sorting it out in the latest development version Ubuntu 12.04

[TheChaseophercarnage]

it doesnt give me the dual option..

[quidsup]

@TheChaseophercarnage Im not sure why, but it can happen in the odd few cases.

Theres a work around using the manual partitioner, have a look at my video "How to use Partition Editor in the Ubuntu Installer "

[StevanEC]

Hi! For you, what linux distro is near 100% in score? Just curious :) Thanks

[quidsup]

@StevanEC I think my highest rated one is Zorin OS 5 at 88%

With the way Ubuntu 12.04 is progressing I might rate that at 90%

[B1p01arGen1us]

I recommended switching to CRUNCHBANG LINUX

It's VERY COOL and VERY FAST

[B1p01arGen1us]

They nearly broke Ubuntu with 11.04

They definitely have now broke it with this pile of crap

with NO option to go into classic desktop

@JDrosa1982 I have found it MUCH faster than XP it loads up programs differently than Windows and as a result it is much more efficient...

[JDrosa1982]

what is the difference between this and windows xp ? is it faster ?

[Epifrin]

Excellent review!

[agyaponglouis]
