Ubunt-u

Ok, I couldn’t think of a better title – sorry.

After some more Windows annoyance and that kind of thing, I’ve decided to install Linux on my machine. I will probably never completely switch to Linux, because there are some programs that are not available for Linux and Wine doesn’t always do the trick.

Besides, I play Call Of Duty – Modern Warfare 2 and I’ve never been able to get that to run on Linux.

Anyway… I’ve been running Ubuntu 9 (Netbook Remix) on my netbook very nicely for a couple of months now. But back in the day when I first tried Linux, I went with Suse 7 (this was way back) and apart from me being too stupid, I did quite like it. Looking back I probably liked KDE, not Suse as such.
I figured that maybe openSUSE 11.2 would be a good thing to try for my PC. So I installed it. And I have to say – it’s not as good as I remember. Ok, I know, it’s not Suse 7 anymore. But they’re supposed to get better, not worse, right? I guess Ubuntu really lured me in with its awesomeness and its nice Gnome desktop.

So I did the only logical thing. I downloaded Ubuntu 10 and installed it. Now I’m listening to some really nice music on Magnitude (through Rythmbox) and surfing the web. I don’t know why, but on Ubuntu, my screen always seems bigger and more efficient than on Windows. It’s weird.
Now all I would need for perfect bliss would be:
A Linux version of Napster and iTunes and I would be in heaven.
