I thought it was terrible, so I reformatted my hard drive manually by putting into another computer, and then downloaded Crunchbang Linux, a Debian distro, and life has been relatively good since. Crunchbang came with Chromium, the open source Google Chrome, so I use that now, too. Yeah, now it’s about as easy as using a Mac, just super+W, gets your web browser, everything runs smooth and fast and I love it. I mean here and there are issues, I have/had trouble installing Java, but then again, I did too on Windows machines when I was a kid, too, so… It does require relearning, though, that’s the thing. It’s not free Windows, and yes, people should expect something different, but my choice in switching to Linux was basically like the “get a Mac” commercial, I just wanted something that wouldn’t get malware and be in general retarded, but I also didn’t want to pay money, so, here I am.

But yeah, Ubuntu is bloated like hell and terrible, use like any other Debian distro, if I had known that damn small linux was fully capable, I’d have used that, but oh well. Crunchbang took me a whopping like 8 minutes total to get it completely installed, I’m happy with it. And the terminal isn’t bad really, assuming you know what you’re doing, but yes, learning curve. typing “sudo apt-get _____” is significantly easier to me than downloading something and going through install shield crap.

So yeah, my message summary, try any other Linux distro ever if Ubuntu left a bad taste in your mouth.
