Go on convince me Linux isn't a pile of ****

...because i've tried it for a week.

Boots slower than Win XP
Still can't unzip an archive.
Control settings all over the place. I still cant find a way to adjust volume.
And now it has stopped letting me access my hard drives with an authentication failure.

From using it for a week I get the impression this OS is for people that dream of writing code all day and keeping people like me well away.

But it does look pretty...

I think think its Mythbuntu thats causing the problems. It seems installing this 99% of the stuff needed to run it are missing.

I'll give it a bit longer. But it's just doing basic stuff on this like unzipping and its not there and I have tried everything google throws at me.

Seems it was Mythbuntu. Added the ubuntu desktop option and it looks like I am able to actually do stuff.

Always good to install a random, task specific distro and claim its rubbish :/

Because we all have to start somewhere but hell everyones perfect on here. To be fair I hardly call an archive program 'none essential'.

Op is a moron who didn't read the purpose of the OS he downloaded.

Troll harder young pup.

Aye because everything you do in life is done to perfection - no learning, discovering, working things out. I wish I was like you

Anyway i'm getting there with it. I'm finding it a bit Marmite and i'm not sure I would want it as my main OS. Thing i'm finding awkward is that sometimes the OS wants to hold your hand and do things for you an other times it just says NO on the simple things and you spend hours trying to find the fix and where it is at. And I end up just switching the damn thing off.

Thanks for the people that have understood where i'm coming from and not just cried noob, idiot, moron etc etc
