Superboyac is throwing in the towel: I'm going to transition to Linux
superboyac:
o_O
How the hell did I manage to miss a "I'm switching to Linux" thread? :tellme:
So, superboyac, how's it going?
Need help?
I got your back, don't worry...

Sorry guys, I'm still around, but I have a lot currently on my plate that I'm trying to deal with.
quick update:
I put linux mint on my laptop, and it was very nice and easy. I got windows withdawl after about a month, and now I'm back to using windows on the laptop (dual boot). What really did it for me was the mouse drivers on the toughbook I was using (circular trackpad). The scrolling didn't work smoothly on the linux, and it was too frustrating. Everything else was fine.
Tinman57:
I suppose the mouse/trackpad drivers have a properties settings available, have you looked in there for anything not kosher?
The drivers issue is the only bad thing about Linux, but there's quite a few linux sites out there that have a stockpile of drivers and workarounds that linux users have found.
When I go over to Linux I plan on having all the linux drivers downloaded and on a CD ready to install just in case they're not included in the GUI....
urlwolf:
try kde, it has a setting for circular trackpad. Is that the trackpad scrolling problem you had?
