I like gnome. Die in a fire

Okay. I will walk some of this back. I have been looking at some footage of Gnome 3 and it actually looks pretty nice. I was thinking more of the Gnome 2 experience before which, come on, was total crap.

[Speaker to Animals]

I decided to go with Mint for now with the cinnamon desktop. I like the clean look of it, but the security of that distro is kind of hilarious.

I might install Gnome 3 later to see how it has changed from the shit tendies it used to be.

Well, fuck. It won't remove the partitions and delete Windows no matter what I do. Trying another install.

How in the fuck did Microsoft manage this? I open up GParted, and it's under the impression that there is only one big Linux partition, a boot partition, and a swap partition. But if I reboot, Windows 10 still boots up.

https://ubuntugnome.org/ <-- Try this. Gnome 3 is hard to self configure on Ubuntu - this distro does all the hard work for you...


Or you can wait until next LTS drops this fall - will come stock with Gnome 3.


I'll wager some DCF bucks though - that once you use Gnome - you won't go back....and...I bet you eventually move to debian.

What kind of computer do you have? Apple and Microsoft are notorious for locking out OSs.....


HP still lets you put whatever you want.....just one more reason to get away from windows.

It's a cheap custom from Amazon.

I just manually removed the partitions in GParted. Reinstalling now. It must have been a problem with the Mint installer. I can't believe Microsoft are that clever.

[Speaker to Animals]

Okay. I managed to kill the cancer. Now time to get Mint configured.

[Speaker to Animals]

Don't like. Trying out Kubuntu again.

Mint's repository has to be some kind of joke.

Cinnamon looks nice, though.

After installation, pretty much everything had to be configured manually. This computer is not even a year old, so wtf?

Definitely was digging Cinnamon, but probably will be fine going back to KDE.

Mint has a really bizarre update manager.
