Using it now with Wubi.

This is convincing me to switch from Vista to Ubuntu completely... it's fantastic, really. It's so fast, it's visually appealing, and as soon as I got in everything was, well, ready. Updates were already installed, I've got my Nvidia drivers, and I'm getting Wine so I can play some games and such.

Discuss. I like Ubuntu. :D

Does ubuntu increase actual ram, that the computer doesn't spend on the OS :o?

MackTheHunter · May 07, 2010, 10:03:12 PM

Yes, I think.

This is bloody fast.

Look at that memory usage.

Can you use Steam with any distro of Linux?

Steam works alright in wine, just don't try reading your friends list. You can probably play halflife. Success with games on wine varries wildly between computers.

Only quarter life with WINE.

Oh come on, what's so bad about Ubuntu? And 10.4 has been improved, I just checked my memory usage. Its' really low.

I'm using 9.10, I'm trying to update it via shell, but it says there are no new releases

Stop advertising your site. Just give us stats, we don't need to go to your site to see it.

Ahh, just got it set up with a dual screen and it looks fantastic.

Now I just gotta get Flash. Derp.

Also, people have discovered that steam may be released for Linux, let's all hope.

Marcem, you're such an idiot.
Anyways, I've hit around 600MB of memory when the computer is doing nothing. I've got the install working.

Indeed. If they do this, I am going to ditch Vista for good.

How? You could have just posted how it was running, we don't need it in real time. My only conclusion is that you want more hits.
