Thread: Have you tried Linux before?

Win7 & OS X are enough for me.
I tried Linux a looooooong time ago, just not user-friendly enough at the time. I will likely give it another go soon as I want to build a dedicated torrent box :)

i've heard good things but i've never tried it. convenience is best for me.

I tried ubuntu, linux mint and opensuse because I got tired of my windows laptop. I found that i prefer linux because its so much faster than my windows and it allows for more control over the system. No viruses is a plus too!

I use it on my work laptop but for my home PC I'm sticking with Windows for obvious reasons.

If I had more time and knowledge I probably could use linux only but it's just easier for me to use windows. I'm more used to the set of software I'm using for years now that switching to linux would just disturb my work-flow.

I began using Ubuntu five or six years ago... at first, it was a little difficult to understand how things are done, but once I got more practice it became a somewhat funny experience to learn, customize your system and especially, enjoy it.

Two years ago I moved to Arch Linux, just because I knew everything about Ubuntu, so I was losing my "experimental fun factor". Now I'm very happy with Arch, I recommend it to intermediate-advanced Linux users

Well i never tried linux.
Its because i am happy with windows.
Although i will try to get one and to experience it but i know it will be difficult to operate.

Been using Ubuntu for a few years now, and so far so good -- what's so great about Arch? (I'm also curious...)

i have not tried before but i want to install linux in the next weeks/months,if u know a good tutorial on linux i will be grateful

I only like linux for coding and using as a server of some type. I would use freed/open bsd though usually. Still, linux has a lot of nice programs for network analysis/programming that is unparalleled in other environments. I use windows 7 though for everything else.
