As long as I don't grow a UNIX beard

Slowly I am becoming immersed into the world of the UNIX user. Earlier, I was griping about how obnoxious it is to not be able to use UNIX commands on the Windows command line. Then, I bought a tinylaptop that comes with Linux installed. Then [livejournal.com profile] alicia250 began persuading me to change my OS to Ubuntu after I reinstall on my desktop, and [livejournal.com profile] wy1d began offering pretty promises of dual-booting.

Someone remind me why I shouldn't do it.

In all honesty, I don't know a lot about Ubuntu, although the people I know who use it love it to pieces (although, don't all people who use less common OSes have their whole "damn the man" mentality?).

How long have you had the laptop? Are you really familiar with Ubuntu? Are there things which Linux sucks at doing, and if so, do they really affect you and what you'd be using your desktop for?

I dunno. I feel like if you have a desktop and a laptop, you might as well keep one on Windows, because I feel like there's gotta be some things Windows is good for. But this is coming from someone who's only used Macs and Windows. :P;;

Look at you with your third party OS.
