Switching to Linux – update

Posted by Paul in Tech on November 4th, 2009 |

ubuntu-linux-2So I thought I’d do a follow up on my previous post about switching to linux as my main operating system and there’s not that much to report. Five days in and everything has been working flawlessly, even a Windows only graphics program that I installed and am using thanks to Wine.

My computer is running a lot cooler, with the fan only speeding up occasionally, the OS isn’t constantly bugging me to pay attention to it, tons of work is getting done with less distractions – just the way it should be.

I’m all about keeping things clean and simple, so my desktop is not cluttered with icons, there are no flashy backgrounds, no desktop effects, etc. and that’s what I find so sexy about the way I have Ubuntu Linux set up – it’s naked. Zen like. And that inspires me.

Not much of an update, I know, but there’s really nothing to say about the OS on this computer anymore. It’s out of the way where an OS should be so I can get on with my work.
