Lots of features but much cleaner than Unity for sure and still clean for GNOME. GNOME was always my favorite. Heck, my taskbar still resides at the top because it just feels more comfortable there. I credit running Ubuntu solely for at least two years for that little ditty. Started at 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. Good times...mind drifts off into nostalgia

Nic's library is seriously impressive.

I'm new to Tizen. Had to look it up. Appears to be an Android competitor built also on Linux. But this one made by the Linux Foundation itself.

Time to update.

sigh but it was in my book from last year sniff sniff god damn technology.

What book was that? GRUB was deprecated around 2008.

I think this thread must have picked up a few buzzwords along the way. Buzz word. Buzzword. Buzzy fuzzy word...

It seems to me like the new iproute2 tools are more powerful, at least according to some articles I've seen... and they have been around since 1999 according to Wikipedia, lol.

Wow if i look back the day when i first met the CentOS. Thanks to @scottalanmiller and @Minion-Queen because of you guys I learned about them and yeah I will keep going in learning 🙂

This is the Unreal engine. So tons of games will be based on that.

Grabbed all ten to add to my library, thanks for sharing!

Anyone remember Stormix Linux?

@ajin.c you bet. We are here to help 🙂

I think that they remain pretty tough for developers still too. Although a more traditional Linux desktop will be great for that. Mint, OpenSuse or Fedora make awesome development workstations.

And then we need to configure the drives via the SmartArray BIOS.

@scottalanmiller Yeah just saw that when I clicked on it.

I told @mike-ralston that downloading any Linux isos via mirrors is not a good idea. Torrents for those are infinitely faster and more reliable.

I'm actually looking forward to this LTS as a possible every day desktop for myself. I've never been fully on board with taking the plunge, but the increasing irrelevance of the underlying OS is making using a stable and secure platform that much more attractive to me.
