Ok, so I've been gone for awhile. I've been doing a big overhaul of my pc and figuring out some things for little side businesses. So, today I figure I'll go into detail about what I've been doing. Sounds fun right? WRONG.
What have I been doing to overhaul my pc? Well, it's official folks, no more Windows or Apple OS X(never had that anyways) on my computer. I've completely switched to a GNU/Linux distro, in other words, Ubuntu. All I have to say about that is that I love it. It's not quite as simple as, "hmmm I'm going to install this program...click, click, click." but it's not difficult at all. The only prerequisites I've found is you can't be a retard, such as myself. But I still find ways around it. Moving on....
Ubuntu is extremely user friendly, it just doesn't do everything for you, like Windows does. I've even managed to get Steam and SC2 installed in a program called "Wine" coupled with "PlayOnLinux". I haven't quite seen the full capability of Wine in Ubuntu, but you can get most Windows apps to work in it.
If you want to see what a Linux distribution looks like or is capable of, Google "Ubuntu conky" or "Arch conky". Conky is what you can use to spruce up your Desktop. It's the equivalent of RainMeter in Windows.
- Side note: RainMeter is also a wicked program for Windows or Apple. Check it out, it might take a bit of tweaking, but if you're like me you'll want to edit and toy with the script anyways. You can rice the hell out of your desktop. It's a lot easier than conky and a lot more user friendly. Also, if you like to rice out the desktop check out anything Stardock makes. They make great desktop customization programs.-
Anyways, I'll go more into computer stuff in the next few weeks (this is mostly going to be poorly written and my transition from a total noob, to a somewhat noob).
Tomorrow is Halloween and everyone knows what that means, acceptably dressed sluts! Just kidding, this means party at my house! It feels like I have so much to do so little time. I feel as if this is going to be the end of my rant tonight, I shall be back later. Have questions about my Ubuntu transition? Feel free to ask.
Goodnight world,
JMRevolution
