Author Topic: So, I have an a 2004 laptop, and my dad and I re installed it with Ubuntu....  (Read 327 times)

And oh my god it is amazing. It used to have Windows XP and I couldn't run anything. The most I got to run was Half Life 1, not even source, and it got about 40 FPS. Now with Ubuntu, it runs smooth, and I can now run Minecraft on it, rather than not even being able to launch it with out the entire system crashing.

What is Ubuntu? Its basicly Linux, but better. It has a workspace switcher, and it comes it has a shop, like The App store, or Android market.

How easy is it to install? Pretty goddamn easy. You can load it from a disk, run it from the disk, then load it on to the laptop, with out using the disk. It also is like a Mac, so no BSoD, or Malware.

Discuss Ubuntu and its loveiness.


40 FPS is good..
Well yes, but when its a really stuffty HP Pavilion dv5215us, its shocking that it ran.

I used ubuntu switched to OpenSuse because it was starting to glitch and bug.

I don't know if it's just me, byt Ubuntu 10 and 11 are really slow.
