Syanide Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 You're killing Linux! LEAVE LINUX ALONE!!!!!! Hahaha... Okay, so scratch the first part: I want Linux that works. EDIT: Oh, and just to mention, I finished downloading Fedora, currently downloading Sabayon, openSUSE, Zenwalk, Blag and Ubuntu 8.04 32bit.

Syanide Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Because I tried Ubuntu 8.10 x86-64, and I had hell of amount of problems with wireless (it's too slow). I also wanted to try different distros from time to time, so I downloaded Mint 6 and CrunchBang 8.10.1, but since they're both based on that version of Ubuntu, it really didn't help me get a working Linux OS on my computer... I'm downloading all of these to see if any other works better with my wireless, (Sabayon and SUSE also because they come with a huge amount of programs by default so I might use them every now and then even if it doesn't work well with wireless). Oh, and I use WISP, so that's the main reason I need to get it working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thealexweb Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I found the latest release clunky, slow and buggy. Didn't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growled Member Posted January 4, 2009 Member Share Posted January 4, 2009 I found the latest release clunky, slow and buggy. Didn't like it. Doesn't that describe Linux in general? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fix-this! Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 i went with xubuntu 8.10 and its better in terms of speed, still slower than vista or 7 but much better than standard ubuntu was. i honestly think 8.10 was just a bloated, bad release all around.

I have used Xubuntu on an old low-spec PC that would bog down XP, and Vista would be unbearable. Odd to see that you find it slower. Is that by benchmarking? Or just "feel"?

Iian K Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Well, I don't know for sure, but playing with 8.10 it's "okay" and doesn't feel any different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd to see that you find it slower. Is that by benchmarking? Or just "feel"? overall speed "internet & os performance" pretty much the same every time. it is tolerable though, much better than ubuntu. maybe my laptop just doesn't like linux. :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
