Need a new OS

[kiwiz247]

I have switched between Windows and different linux distros over the last few year and have become bored with the average operating systems. Does anyone know any cool OS/distro I should try?

 

It should preferably support 64bit and not need too much cpu power as I have a cheap laptp with dual core 1.2GHz apu.

FreeDOS?

Perhaps Arch to customize the OS yourself from the ground up.

I've tried arch before but I had problems with the AMD driver for xorg. My computer only works with the proprietary driver for some reason.

This should install the driver and build the kernel module for Xorg.

I'll grab pfsense/open mediavault/new FreeNas

because at least it could be usefull in real life.

@Name Taken said. Try archlinux. There is a learning curve. But it's worth it.

Openbox + Tint2 + compton + conky + cairodock = great looking desktops.
