It’s still too much of a pain to use.
I have a machine with Ubuntu only because I lost my XP CD.
It boots up fast, but Chrome stutters badly when playing videos, and the whole system literally goes haywire at random times dissolving the graphics onscreen into a bunch of gibberish causing me to have to reboot.
I’m not even going to bother with a help forum as far too many instructions involve editing some weird thing like my “X.org” file.
No thanks.
Update your video driver. I had the same problem with video. You are probably running the generic video, as was I.
Exactly the opposite experience. My old laptop was aging poorly. I bought a $50 hard drive, loaded Ubuntu and haven’t looked back.
Incredibly stable. Fast booting. I really love it.
And all of those problems are, of course, Ubuntu’s fault?
