OH.BackTack Linux
Pretty much the hackiest distro. It's got all kinds of stuff like wifi crackers and password crackers, and it can run stuff like tor and HOIC/LOIC.
<br />That picture was so huge it slowed my Linux Mint to a crawl when I tried zooming in and out. lol Anyways, I've abandoned all other forms and I'm now Linux Mint 12 with Cinnamon. I liked Gnome because it wasn't as buggy as the KDE version however I chose cinnamon for its customizability. So I'm now halfway between Gnome and KDE. Gnome styling with some KDE customizability. I suggest to mcfar, get rid of Ubuntu completely and come over the the Mintside! BTW everything you can use in Ubuntu works in Mint. Mint is based off Ubuntu... it's pretty much Ubuntu the way it should've been. xDJazz007, post: 244747 said: <br />View attachment 109868<br />Bump for creativity in the form of a freakin' different OS.<br /><br />For those who don't understand how much of a concept this supposed "Linux" is that some speak of, here's a diagram to help you understand.<br />[WARNING: GIANT PICTURE AHEAD.]<br /><br /><b>https://t9k.me/1Cx</b><br /><br />View attachment 109869
I'm using Mint 12 with Cinnamon!Oh... derp... i don't know why I thought you said Ubuntu. Is it Gnome, KDE, 201204 or LXDE? I had a bunch of video card problems with KDE and random error messages.
Oh and concerning your original post. I'm thinking about running mint on my laptop too. I'll let you know if I run into similar issues and what I need to do in order to fix it. I have integrated ATI graphics, so I won't be able to help much there, but possible the battery life issue? I dunno. You posted your problems on the linux mint forums?
The Laptop is an HP Pavilion dv7-6b01txYAY CINNAMON!!!!!
And what kind of laptop is this? Usually battery life is insanely better with linux, not worse.
Yes! It looks like it would be fun just to have to tinker with....which is what we geeks do best!Who wants a raspberry pi?
Are you angered, my close acquaintance?
I'm still having trouble with the switchable graphics on my HP Pavilion dv7-6b01tx when running any build of Linux. Also it seems that the battery life when using Linux is half of what it is when I use Windows....
Yeah, if it's Nvida, you're likely to be suffering the horrors of the Optimus bug, but thankfully it *is* solveable.
If it's ATI.... God help you.
EDIT:
Come to think of it, you may be able to use Bumblebee and BBswitch to operate your graphics card. That'll solve your power issues.... I'll start looking into that for you I like LinuxQuests
EDIT 2:
Nope. However looks like your problem is known of, and they are looking into it. Try here
Lol, I do use openoffice a bit, but I don't prefer it =/ Personal preference.http://puppylinux.org/wikka/PARM - in regards to raspberry pi
also I noticed taco guy said microsoft should port microsoft office to linux? Why libreoffice or openoffice works just fine. I even use openoffice if I'm using windows. MO pisses me off with its silly menu setup.
Woaaaah, you are *way* behind the times there. Currently AMD has a rolling patch system that works flawlessly. Every now and then it'll say "Yo, update, catch" and install seamlessly onto the old ones. I have never had a problem with my 6770'sno cc coding for me.
however I'm planning on trying out the latest fedora soon.
also, amd video card drivers are a pain in the ass even in windows. You have any idea how many times an update has broken things or made my games look like crazy shit all of the sudden? Why on earth do you have to uninstall the driver completely, possibly run driversweeper, then install the new driver for amd? Nvidia is just download install, it's updated, have fun without conflicts or broken shit.
Uhm, when you're overclocking the hell out of everything and running your machine to within an inch of it's life... yeah it does See, I'm not just running a hot honda around the usual grind, I am running it through the most gruelling and severe test track every day of it's horrible, misbegotten existence.also, does it really matter if it runs cooler when it lasts for years and years and outperforms the comparable ati/amd card? not in my book. I call inferior things that are slower or that tend to fuck up for no reason at all because you installed an update. not things that run hot, my car likes to run hot, and it's a Honda. Call that inferior? you're nuts, it's 21 years old, with over 220k miles and it still gets 30mpg and runs like nobody's business.
