[Completed] iSwitched from Windows to Linux for 30 days

[needmorewood]

out of all honesty, Ubuntu is the way to go.  Its a great way to get into linux.

not only did u quote the OP, you dont even know what your talking about

elementary OS IS based of off ubuntu but they improve it in alot of ways (UI and visuals) imo its much better than Ubuntu even though its in beta stage

[Giggitygoebbels]

I only like the Openbox UI.All the others are hard to use IMO

Reading this log has kinda given me the idea of trying out Elementary

Overall it's really good but still needs polishing in some places. But for a new distro compared to the other major 'rivals' such as Mint or Ubuntu it really is on it's way. If anything I would recommend to wait for the Isis which will be out aprox. April 2014 just a bit after Ubuntu 14.04 since it will be based off it. Who knows maybe by then we will also have Steam OS to try out

I've been using Ubuntu for years now but the UI of Elementary is what's caught my eye so I'll probably do my own iSwitched

[sperkowsky]

this is interesting cant wait for results

UPDATE: Day 15 is up. I'm working to get Day 16 & 17 so they should be up soon... hopefully when I win the layout war with the post editor  

[Damikiller37]

UPDATE: Day 16 and 17 are up. Sadly still can't get them to be in centre

[Damikiller37]

Notice: I know I haven't updated in a while but I will update all of the days tomorrow (which is 6 days including tomorrow) I finally managed to fix the layout... had to rearrange and rewrite most of the 'center' script and repair all of the spoilers since they all broke after I got everything to be in center again -.-

FINALLY! AN UPDATE Speaking of which, can I have my EOS thing for my iSwitched? Please?

[Damikiller37]

Update: I have updated Day 18 & 19. The rest are coming tomorrow. I'll let you spot where the editor is being 'special' this time

okay... BUT ANOTHER UPDATE! I feel so special.

[Damikiller37]

Update: Day 20-22 updated. Rest coming soon and @tmcclelland455 I will do the images tomorrow ...and I have no idea why the editor has place my spoiler button at the centre now but I'll get it fixed once the iSwitched is done.

Okay. Thanks. I love this "Log of Awesomeness."

hey just as a suggestion can u not post/delete all the days where you did nothing? when people come to this post brand new its going to be filled with blanks. and its just there for no reason for example if u did nothing on day 20 dont post anything for that day like dont even have the dropdown. its just a suggetion, makes things cleaner

FINAL UPDATE: The conclusion

[AndyCapets]

It's been so long since I didn't check what Linux was like, 6 or 7 years by now, and by looking at this, man I kinda want to go and give a try at Elementary OS... It looks so good.

Like mentioned in the conclusion It's very good but there are a few ups and downs to it. I'd wait until the next version that will be out in a few months... I think I mentioned the date in one of the days.

So will you be staying with Elementary OS or will you be switching back to Windows (or maybe a different Linux distro)?

I'm back with Windows for the time being and still have Elementary OS on my drive but I will probably replace it with Steam OS as soon as it's out or a new version of Elementary OS. I may need to get rid of it at some point since I'm getting a bit low on space on my Windows partition.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Whenever I install Ubuntu, I sooner or later get to the point where I need half an hour to get administrator rights on the console. 

Then I type: "sudo apt get bla bla bla..." 

Then something doesn't work, and I just delete the VM. 

 

Oh, last time I installed Ubuntu, it didn't even have 1920x1080!!?!?! 

Of course you can figure out why, or you can do something else... ;o)

last time I used a linux distro was when Vista was annoying and XP felt old and I wanted to try something new.. I installed ubuntu (don't remember which version) I liked it so much and I was for over a year using Linux distros exclusively. After that I got a new graphics card around the time of windows 7 release (9800gt) and I wanted to play games so I installed windows 7.. today I only use it inside of an old laptop (cheapest 15" laptop I could find at the time, I used it for school), and an HTPC (for my dad).. Trying to get my hands on a raspberry pi (they do ship to my area).. these days I'm using windows 8...
