Ubuntu - Linux for Human Beings [MEGATHREAD REVIVAL]

[Night Fox]

If I ever had a extra netbook, or something like that, I would install Linux %110. <3

that doesn't even work
in a situation like this, there is no possible way to do something over a percentage of 100%
and in this case, you couldn't even do it at 100%
Linux doesn't make mobos, GPUs, CPUs, or any of that

you can not have a 100% Linux computer
it is literally impossible

He doesn't literally mean that.  He's saying he will definitely install Linux.

Looking through the OP, some info is incorrect.
Want me to like, create a different topic layout with some extra stuff and correct information?

Why not just tell me what's incorrect?

The entire UI is built with the GNOME shell-

Unity or GNOME 2, you mean.

For the upcoming 11.04 release-

11.04 is already out.

Compiz is a system which allows the user to interact with the desktop as if it is a cube or a multiple sided shape.

Well, that's one aspect of it. It's actually the effects' engine. Shadow, bluring windows, desktop cube, etc.

sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

You can get the most recent version (Maverick Meerkat 10.10)

Natty Narwhal 11.04 actually.

Also, the beta 1.3 Wine packages seem to run better than the stable 1.2 packages.

I appear to have broken Wine.
Oh well.

I use Arch cause it just feels better than Ubuntu.

But Ubuntu is a nice distro to start with.

I used to use Arch.  Then I just thought "why"?  If I want to build a system from scratch I'd use tinycore.

So, I'm probably going to make ubuntu my main OS if I can get the hang of it and get everything working. I'll still keep my Windows 7 copy on here though too just in case.

Quick question, any way to move my Windows 7 files over to ubuntu or do I have to reinstall them all? :c
