I'm sorry for doing a poll for this, but I'm looking for an opinion, and this is a diverse enough group to give good results. Have you ever used the Enlightenment desktop environment? If so, what did you think? If not, kindly disregard.
I think the last time I used Windows was maybe 2006. I just kept running into issues, and it made me look around. I switched to Ubuntu, and was fine with it, but got bored and tried to venture out.
I have a Mac that I got for teaching a few years ago, and that's been great. For research, I'm running Mint right now (I got lazy), but am looking to switch to something a bit more... spartan. This isn't a great comp., and I want it to be faster.
The main issue for me was that I couldn't get my girlfriend's laptop's click pad to work correctly with either Ubuntu or Mint, and I found the community was unable to solve the issue. It was kind of embarrassing, and left me disillusioned.
Nah, it's a click pad (touchpad without actual buttons). Too much of a pain to type up the issues here, but if you search for "Ubuntu (or Mint) clickpad issues," you can find a lot of people with the problem.
Thanks, Zod. I was considering Bodhi Linux, but hadn't heard of this environment, and wanted to see if anyone had any experience with it. It's remarkably difficult to find any real review.
I haven't tried it, but I have heard of it. Isn't that a non-Linux alternative OS? I wonder if I should consider it for my old XP based dual core media computer? Another learning curve...
Don't worry about this poll. I posted one the other day asking how to be a help to my guy. It's a community. For the most part, people are supportive and helpful. The others will get over it. :)
