It’s funny how things go. Not so long ago in the past I was using Fedora to dual boot and then finally gave up on it. I’ve never tried it with Win 8 at all, and don’t want to. The thing about Linux is that I lastly had experience with Ubuntu’s newest main version, and mostly purely did not like it.
What did I like about Linux via Fedora? Making things work, bleeding edge keeps you on your toes. I had more solid feeling OS with Fedora 12 and 13 that I last had used, than I ever felt with Ubuntu.
Why? Using Terminal and Su suits me, but I don’t even know what to do without looking it up. I am good at figuring it out, but don’t want the hand holding of Ubuntu at all. it felt flaky and every machine I ever put it on had to be re-installed over and over every so often. Not the same with Fedora. FWIW sometime same machines. I just felt Ubuntu was flaky and not for me.
So why do I like Windows? I just use the computer and updates are automatic. Who knows. It’s just funny.
No, that’s not it. Win 7 and Win 8 are solid computing systems. Auto-updating is good in such an environment.
Ubuntu is not solid, it’s flaky, that’s just my own experience and I find it funny. 🙂
