I got this brilliant idea of finally trying out Linux for the very first time in my life today.
The Ubuntu distro sounded like a great choice, easy and smooth... so I heard anyway.
Well the installation was not that hard and getting online wasn't so bad either with the mobile broadband dongle.
The new unity UI looked good, a mix of OSX and Windows 7 and I could easily change to a classic mode.
Sounds great huh!?!
Not really.
I couldn't find any drivers and if I did found some I didn't know how to install them or they were hugely outdated.
I wanted to try out some programs, installing was not a breeze and a few tutorials I found to help me made things worse.
I'm going to stop right there with that story because it was only filled with headaches.
I installed Windows again, installed everything like I use to and then I was home.
I cried hugging my PC and said:
"Windows, don't ever leave me again"
I needed this experience today, now I know that Windows and me is stronger then ever.
