I'd left a 250GB partition for a slim Windows installation with Office and told myself that I'd probably be back to Windows in a couple of days, as with every other Linux experiment I've done throughout the years. Three and a half weeks later, I've revisited Windows a total of twice. Kubuntu has completely stolen my heart with its easy customizability and theming. I did have to reinstall last week due to my initial installation being a buggy KDE on top of Ubuntu LTS installation, but I went with the actual Kubuntu image and all is good.

My XPS is loving the Linux life.

Loving the detail for the CPU stats etc. Nice background as well

I've just moved on to Mint 20 release to see what that is like for one of my crunching PCs, it seems to be pretty decent so far

Hi,

Home | Solus

Solus is just to flat for me. That and it may seem crazy, but I really am not pulled to distros that let you do it all. I no longer mod my OSs and I dislike fighting with them now.

When I need to connect to a core switch or im trying to do a security audit I really need my terminal to not randomly crash. I generally try to stick with more stable releases and distributions.

Hi,
Someone said good thing about solus was little need for terminal.

That's subjective, I use my machine for work. I use the terminal on my mac my windows machine my laptop everyday. Not to mention it was just an example?

It works great and in my case handles my videocard properly (Radeon VII) vs Mint not being able to.
It's also alot like Windows in how it's setup and behaves.

Would have ran Mint but with the GPU issues Mint has this is the ticket and honestly I'm happy with it.
I think you'll like it too.

Okay, finally have a raw install of Groovy Gorilla, or Kubuntu 20.10. It requires an efi install, but can be done under csm. It needs a separate drive so it
can make the efi boot partition all on the same drive ect.... oh and I used that new ventoy app under linux to make it! And notice the 5.8 kernel it's using.

All right , it is keep on comin but if i kill process in system monitor (vlc) i do not have to restart whole system ,minor inconvenience in my book,cheers.

Man, this took a lot of work. It turns out 20.04.1 versions and above of Ubuntu require efi boot, or at least csm boot with the 1mb bios boot partition. I did originally try 20.10 Groovy Gorilla, but I had to efi install it, and lost access to my other installs. So I abandoned it. Well it turns out, 20.04 installs, not 20.04.1, can can installed in legacy mode. Then you can install update-manager, and upgrade to 20.10, and continue to use legacy mode. Why did I need to do this? Because I have multiple legacy mode installed oses, and I don't want to wipe them out just for one os. And here is Kubuntu 20.10, booted from legacy mode, with kernel 5.8 and my vpn active.... just a little security....

Been using Linux on and off for the last 14 years or so...
Now I'm using Linux full time for the past 5-6 years Pretty much tried every distro's out there but the ones I stick the longest is Mint , Zorin and now Feren OS

Feren OS is the one I like the most specially the new plasma KDE and now base on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Snapshot November 2020)
I like that they put the categories on the left instead of the right using Simple Menu , I think this is a far better way to use it and it is my prefer start up menu
I'm also using Win10 Icons not that I like win10 because I don't but the Icons are really nice...
