I wish I were a Penguin. My next machine will run Linux.
“I’m a penguin.”
Me too; Ubuntu’s speed, performance and stability can’t be beat.
Newly minted penguin here, too.
I was happy dual-booting for the longest time, playing with Linux from time to time, until the last Windows update broke whatever runs the wireless network software on my Windows partition and I could no longer connect. After trying everything, I decided it wasn't worth it, spent a day doing a (much needed) data backup, reformatted and dumped Windows for good.
I installed PC Linux, solely on the basis of having seen someone here at FR suggest it. Could not be happier. It runs like a dream, makes the machine blindingly fast, and is very stable.
We kept Windows XP on my husband's Dell laptop, but only because we need it for the type of tax software we run. If/when we find a workaround or a software alternative, it's outta here.
When my husband built systems for the kids, they got Ubuntu/EdUbuntu. Even the little ones figured it out with minimal help.
Next time we upgrade systems, I will insist on a Windows-free system & won't buy till I find a place that will do it. I'm not paying to have Microsoft break my machine's operability with their own update on a system that is supposed to run Windows perfectly.
We've gone from several all-Windows systems with one Linux system (and a Mac) to all Linux systems with one Windows system (and a Mac) in the last few years.
So am I...for all my desktop systems. I recently had to downsize, and had to go with a laptop as my main computer. I ended up buying a MacBook. It runs fine, and I'm pretty happy with it (I use a MacBook Pro at work). But the price is pretty stiff (I got it for just under $1000 at Amazon). I wish I could find a laptop that I could run linux on, that worked as smoothly as the Mac, and could be had for half the price. I'd get a couple of 'em, and be a happy camper.
