My trip down the OS lane

the following post isn’t for you non-geeky people, as you’d have no idea what’s going on :D

So i got the blue screen of death…


*this isn’t the picture from my computer..u can’t really screenshot when my lappy’s dead*

Pissed at the whole situation, I decided to give ubuntu a try. I’ve always wanted to do it, and this screen just pushed me over the line.

So after hoursand hours of downloading, installing, etc etc

I got ubuntu started working:

Everything worked fine. and it’s got some awesome on board programs, so i was delighted, but what didn’t work well was the wireless net, somehow it just won’t work.

After hours of questioning, hours of coding lines…

I gave up.

But i wasn’t going to give up on linux, so i did this:

openSUSE 10.3 was my next move

Wow, this distro is great. Got all the programs I wanted. the skin looked great, and the interface is simple enough to operate.

But again, the internet doesn’t work.

After another few days of questioning and lines of coding…

i resulted in this:

Here I am, back to XP again.

I question my self. Linux being so good and everything, but it just isn’t user friendly.

Windows XP, one click, internet working.

I guess linux has it’s own pros, but windows working for me perfectly right now (with maybe once in two years bsod), why do i need to change right?

lol, hello windows~!
