Anything I touch with a keyboard nowadays is running Linux from boot. If I'm doing everything in Linux, why not just run Linux natively instead of wrestling with vbox drivers and trying to figure out why the OS can't see the USB driver? To be honest, I don't know how VirtualBox behaves in Windows but it surely can't be faster or more secure or cheaper than just running it natively.

atomicthumbs posted:also what's with the camelcase, this is yospos phone posting (so I can't just readdir /usr/bin or whatever is in your path), but the virtualbox package is the only one that comes with command line utilities that use caps and camelcase in the actual utility name and not just an esoteric switch or something. this has led me to capitalize it all the time as well as curse its existence.

unity is garbage, but kubuntu 16.04 is rly nice the window manager no longer crashes every time i plug in or plug out a external monitor! thought that was fixed in plasma 5.6 but either it was a 5.5.x bugfix which was recently packaged for kubuntu, or kubuntu devs backported that fix from 5.6

ubuntu on the desktop has not entirely been bad except for unity and occasional kernel upgrades that brick a driver or cause filesystem corruption. or if you bought a brand spanking new computer. I still prefer red hat but if I had to recommend a linux for normal people or newbies, it would be ubuntu, simply because of its ubiquity and its position on patented codecs. I would then drop a hint that tech support costs one beer and a slice of pizza per house call, two slices if it exceeds an hour.

i just had a big fat workstation bought at work. it came with ubuntu because choosing windows for some reason creates incompatibilities in the dell online store if you don't choose a second stick of overpriced ram. the dp/hdmi dongle that came with the workstation didn't work because the chip in it somehow didn't get recognised by ubuntu sp i had to get an older shittier dongle to connect the monitor. then I installed windows. that's my 2016 lotd story.
