Go to solution Solved by QueenDemetria,

The networking is what I'm pretty interested now, have you used that much if so can you go into detail about it? 

 

good feedback by the way

I can make my computer share internet with other computers, just by changing 1 setting, in the GUI, and it just works lol. I can also turn my laptop into a hotspot, by again, using the GUI so do so. 

 

As the "advanced" networking things goes I haven't messed with it too much, but most of the cool "really useful" things can be done easily.

 

I mostly like how network interfaces work right away, unlike Windows that takes Fking forever deciding if that interface is connected to the internet... or is a public or home connection.... or establishing a handshake between USB RDIS devices that takes way longer than it should...

The hotspot thing is very hit and miss, the Wifi card has to support it, but sharing internet through Ethernet is very easy.

That's fucking awesome, I'm shocked Microsoft hasn't configured something like that yet. I can't believe what I've been missing out on.

Well, they have, but you have to use CMD to get it to work properly. Its at this point when people realize there isn't much difference between Windows and Linux, since all of the cool stuff is hidden in command line, but most people are accustomed to windows and therefore say its easier to use. You can share internet through ethernet on Windows too, but its a lot easier to set up on linux.

*Risky click of the day*

You have to use command prompt to install drivers?... Ehhh... sketchy...

Yep. But generally the drivers are in a repository which is usually accepted as ok or approved software.

This is my opinion, it doesn't mean I'm right and is liable to change at any time. I may offend of which I apologize in advance.
