Bye bye X
X! I am switching back to XP. I will use linux (ubuntu) or any other distribution ONLY for non X stuff. Let's admit: Linux's X is not THAT great! It is buggy it is slower than XP and i dont ever wanna talk about OSX. I am so tired of Segmentation Fault, trail and errors and spending days and nights getting something to work.
I ran 8.04 for about 2 months. I spent quite some time configuring stuff. Then 8.10 got released...SO I upgraded...
When I installed 8.10 on my Dell 1525 GDM did not work AT ALL. I just got blank desktop with nothing on it. Sure there are fixes out there to solve this problem but do I really want to spend/waste time doing all of them when I can use that time to learn Spring, or Struts or Dojo...or something else... ANd even then when I get everything ready and install Eclipse i still need to solve some 8.10 <> Eclipse bugs. I am tired. Maybe on long run, when XP starts dragging, I will regret making this decision but for right now I am happy that I can plug in my HDMI cable to my 1525 and Panasonic 1080p 42'' Plasma TV and enjoy movies. I couldn't do this in Ubuntu. I am sorry ubuntu but I will have to say bye bye to your X.
Anyone please tell me that i am making a wrong decision??? And please explain why?
peace!
