My experience with Linux

Hi everyone

So i installed Ubuntu 12.10 three weeks ago,

It ran OK on my system, very hard to get the ATI proprietary drivers working, but i managed in the end - Still get a lot of error messages, and crashes. (firefox when watching youtube freezes and has to be FCd)


I tried both mint, ubuntu 12.10, and ubuntu 12.04 on my wifes laptop, It was awful, both were, the cpu was at 30-40% at IDLE!

And now the laptop wont even switch on!

Back to windows 7 for me :/

Thanks for the info guys, Oxy - by the open source drivers do you mean the ones that come with ubuntu?

Because on my wifes lappy there was no GPU detected and the CPU was doing all the rendering
