State of desktop Linux
So. Been dabbling with Linux on and off since the 90s. Even more so during the last couple of years. Last year I moved my mysql insance from my ubuntu server to Windows. This evening I decided to try Linux Mint KDE, Ubuntu 12.04 beta1 and eventually wound up running Linux Mint Debian Edition. It is still not... windows. Don't make this a windows vs Linux flame war. We all know that for ordinary office tasks, windows beats Linux hands down. The reason for trying Linux on the desktop again was an itch to see how far Wayland has come. Ended up quite frustrated with my experiences tonight. I have high hopes for Wayland. It is one of the biggest opportunities for desktop Linux in years.</rant>
