Linux OS choices?

The unresponsiveness is probably X's fault. X is the default windowing engine in Linux distros. It's a huge fustercluck and in need of a serious overhaul. This is a known issue... Nothing more we can do than wait for Wayland.

Right I see, I was reading this some where else where it said something wrong with the GUI or something similar. I actually never knew what X meant, I've always used startx or a similar expression from going from total command line to a GUI but never really cared to research into it lol. I know Raspberry Pi also does this, i still prefer the command line for a server package 

 

So I guess i've just got to wait for Wayland to come then. 

Like I said before, i'll be more than happy to move to Linux and leave Windows behind just as soon as the user experience is as good as Windows. I love everything else about Linux, the scripting, the applications it currently has are what I need, it's just that user experience just holding it back for me ...

I'd love to switch to Linux, the GUI doesn't interest me that much anyways. Problem is games on my desktop and switchable graphics on my laptop. When I start working in September, though, I'll HAVE to switch (laptop provided by work, I'll be a Linux consultant so... yeah... ). For now, though, it's only servers that run on Linux for me.

I love Linux as a server option, I find it stable, easy to use and what you can do on the Windows O/S it can be done on Linux, but I do prefer Active Directory to OpenLDAP just cause AD just works but with OpenLDAP a lot more messing around lol

 

but as a Linux consultant you'll be more concentrated on the server side right? I do still prefer Linux on the server side lol

Yes, the job should primarily pertain to server-side stuff Looking forward to it, will be quite the learning curve!
