I've gone over to the dark (green) side

[coldraven]

Well after using Ubuntu from 8.04 I have had to change. My 10.10 is no longer supported and was beginning to have strange faults. I intended to go with 12.04 and Unity but it just will not work with the graphics card in this laptop. (ATI X1250) Even Unity 2D did not work, the icons in the launcher were black. Tried Xubuntu 12.04 and that had problems, so now I'm running Linux Mint 13 with the Cinnamon DE and all is well.
For reference this laptop is a Compaq 6715b, 2xTurion, 2GHz, 4GB memory.

But I will still browse this forum and when I can afford a new laptop I'll give Ubuntu another try.

Kind regards to all you forum folk, see you soon.

Hmm*...

Light Side




Dark Side




Green Side?

* Incidentally, this post is a perfect example of why I wish we could have tables in our posts.

Guess why i'm sticking with 11.10 (my 1.53GHz, 2GB, ATI HD2400XT laptop works great on it)?

I'm not afraid of the dark side

Cool thing about running Mint is other than the DE and a few tools you ARE running Ubuntu

The green side are they. Once you start down the green path, forever will it dominate your destiny...
