Whats the deal with the new mint 12. I think it lacks vital features thus making it hard to use. How do i add applets to the task bar or that's a gnome feature? On Jan 3, 2012 9:06 AM, "Samuel Wachira" <wachirasam@gmail.com> wrote:
Ubuntu 11.0 64bit on HP 6730s Laptop. (4GB RAM, Core2Duo) My experiences so far: 1. If i need to install an app, i have to have internet, coz of dependencies. 2. My graphics card (Intel-based) STILL is not recognized. 3. My mount points have broken (Twice), so every time i boot, i have to skip some drives 4. Because of 3. above, My VirtualBox instance has broken (Twice) 5. Sometimes the display freezes on me, especially when i need to present to clients. (Probably coz of 2. above)
All in all, I am a satisfied user, coz the rest just works.
I chucked windows 7 coz of resource hogging and backup issues.
Now i have a clean Windows 7 VDI that i copy to removable disk.
My thoughts:
Linux as a desktop O/S has made strides to usability.

I thought MATE desktop environment was cool. Until I tried it too and discarded the cd and destroyed the iso.

This seems to be an unpopular discussion, however to wrap it up, I booted up a live distro of Linux Mint 12 , and to my disappointment, found it wanting and less smooth than my current distribution. In fact , there wasn't much difference and I felt what I was using was neater.
Again, the issue of Linux usability eludes me
