Good 🙂
On April 26 (day Ubuntu 12.04 came out) I decided to put a survey on the site, a survey that I am sure many saw and even participated 😀
This survey lasted 1 month (ended last day 26) and well ... you can see the results up there 🙂
I limit myself to not talking about the results, but I will say the reason for this survey:
It happens that the day that Ubuntu 12.04 came out, all ... all the sites related to Linux were talking about this, my TimeLine (Twitter) was flooded with this news, the RSS, everything ... however, curiously some users who 'I follow' started to leave tweets like: «I'm sick of so many mentions of ubuntu ... that nothing else happens today?»And things like that, at that moment I saw that I was not so crazy ... that I was not the only one who thought like that 😀
And I decided to do this survey to know the opinion of our readers, and there it is 😀
Thank you very much everyone for participating, I really do.
If anyone has any survey suggestions we gladly created the survey haha.
regards
It is because many consider Ubuntu the distro for n00bs, but do not deny it sabandirijillas, I know they felt emotion the day the LTS came out
bahh it makes no sense to be updating your distro every 6 months or that it was windows, if ubuntu were rolling release it would be its first follower, but as long as it is not like that for me it is one more distro.
LTS! 🙂
I do not deny that there are people in Linux who hate "noobs", but many are the distros for "noobs", even more and before Ubuntu, what is usually hated about Ubuntu is how edge they tend to be both with advertising and in admiring the navel. In fact I do not say anything new since that same cause gave rise to this survey.
I personally follow Ubuntu with interest, even though I haven't used the distro for a long time. I like to be aware of its evolution and its new features.
My beginnings were with Ubuntu, I used it until version 7.10, then I switched to Debian, I have tried it again but currently I find it highly consuming of RAM, which has led me to discard it.
It would be interesting to do the same survey, but instead of ubuntu that refers to fedora 😀
Cheers(:
Interesting, I create / do it right now 😀
Done, poll added 😉
I started to try and know GNU / Linux thanks to Ubuntu but nah I prefer Sabayon and Arch 😀
regards
We all do not care because thank God those of us who frequent this forum .. we have more or less a level of knowledge in some area ..
And well, we are not surprised to know if a new version of Ubuntu was released or not .. because he who knows well does not download ubuntu all at once .. he waits at least a month
those that are in other distros or pending with the exit of ubuntu ahahaha
conclusion: here in desdelinux.net there are many levels of users 😀
I don't use Ubuntu for the simple reason that a new one comes out every 6 months. If you have internet, spend hours updating, and if you don't have to do several miracles, and of course if you don't update you don't have more updates.
That's why it doesn't catch my attention, because when I had it it was more a headache than a joy.
It still seems like an excellent distro to me, only that it would have to have a way to update through apt (update what you want when you want)
Your proposal is very interesting and at the same time very good ... 🙂
Well, this distro is LTS with support for 5 years (my keyboard does not have the letter that follows the n sorry), with this it is not necessary to change the version every 6 months, those versions of every 6 months, are beta versions for the LTS.
regards
Incorrect statement, the beta of the LTS could be xw.10 where w is odd.
I am testing it and what do you want me to tell you, more of the same, with the only difference that unity seems a little more usable with gnome shell, the lenses help a lot ..., but I keep staying with kde, I would install arch but it gives me stick, so I'm sure I'll put chakra back.
all versions of every 6 months of ubuntu I don't think they are betas for LTS ..
I think they are launches with new technologies
I've tried quite a few distros and there comes a time when, for one thing or another (work, lack of time, etc.), you look for the least possible complications. And I'm not just talking about sitting down one afternoon to set up a "difficult" Arch type distro, which has already happened directly, but about the need for a stable and serious project and, in recent times, a modern, serious and future-oriented environment. . As for the project, many distros have a clear line that can be liked more or less and today in my case it is almost impossible one that adapts as soon as I install, to my tastes (normal of course). And as for the environment ... almost the example to follow is MacOS, seriousness, beauty and productivity. That's why I haven't thought about compiz, conky and other nonsense like that for a long time (it's my clear opinion). Therefore, a serious distro, with a solid project behind it, together with a modern environment with a future: Ubuntu. And it's not that I particularly like it. The first thing I do is get rid of certain programs to get closer to the Gnome project, from which Ubuntu seems to move away. But for me it is the best there is currently (for someone like me: install and use). Other distros promise what Ubuntu does, but then you run into problems: if the fonts look bad, if there are untranslated parts, etc.
I closely follow projects with an uncertain future (I hope a lot) because they are closer to my tastes, such as SolusOS, but until they are well established I will not take the step of giving them my trust. And I closely follow big projects like Fedora, hoping that one day something more stable will come out over time (I can't be every 6 months backing up hundreds of gigs, reinstalling and configuring)
Finally, it is ridiculous to dedicate yourself to commenting on the benefits of one distro over another, how fast one is over another. I have never noticed a noticeable difference in speed of one over another…. So my on my scale I consider those other things, more than anything.
It really is very very good this distribution plus its daughters 😀
Pass through arch (one year), fedora 17 (from 15), opensuse 12.1 (from 11.4), mageia (1hr).
I have to say, (K) Ubuntu is excellent, at the arch level. If arch devoted more to testing its programs more, it would be the best in linux Or stop betting everything on AUR.
I believe that a distribution has to be simple, fast, stable with all the comforts in the world.
Besides being one of the most popular along with Mageia, LMint, fedora and oSuse.
(K) ubuntu + Arch deadly combination 😀 😀 😀 😀
Arch-level Kubuntu? In what sense? If they don't look alike at all.
Well I'm on debian xD lol, until further notice
When did you leave your beloved Windows?
I have not left it, neither to my windows nor to my osx :), I just walk in debian a good part of the day, the part in which I develop in mono, the other part of watching movies on netflix and anime on crunchyroll, I spend it on windows and when I have time I am in osx.
And it seems that you also left Opera. Here I do see you have made a bad change XD.
I know this has nothing to do with the issue but I am in mint and it tells me that I am on Ubuntu! (on the top banner) LOL!
Let's see that you are already tired, it has already been repeated 1400 times, that you have to change the firefox useragent>.
You should put a message under the banner that says: Isn't this the distro you're using? Find out how to correct it«.
in the same way it is strange, since mint's firefox is not the same as ubuntu, it is packaged and configured by the mint guys so it should come from the factory with mint's useragent and not ubuntu, in fact if you look in about : config useragent there are more options and is configured with linux mint maya and yet it shows up on the page as ubuntu
I know because I was trying mint and I had that problem but currently if I am using ubuntu itself: p
Go to a page that tells the UserAgent to see what comes out, it could be an error in the script of the blog or the distro / browser, but without seeing the Useragent you cannot know.
I am excited every time a new version of a distro that I intend to test is released. I hadn't used Ubuntu for a while and really wanted to try their new release.
Well, for me it will be my desktop distro for at least a year, unless they release something new that "forces" me to update 🙂
I was very attentive to its launch, some things improved, I had one or another new problem but nothing serious or I hope it is solved.
And ubuntu is a distribution? I have the doubt ...
With all due respect, the excuse of not using ubuntu because it is updated every year, seems unusual to me. You can update your version, whenever you want (staying in the support period). There are other distros there, which are more difficult to use. update and nobody criticizes them. I started in linux, with canaima 2.1, went to 3.0, I have used venenux, ubuntu (since 10.04, going through 10.10,11.04,11.10 and now 12.04), fedora and dreamstudio 11.04. good linux and free software, is that the use of all of them is increasing. For the user who just wants to install and use making the most of it, I think ubuntu and fedora are the solution. Now if I think as a computer scientist or developer, I will always see you , the bad to the distros and not the good
Well, I just changed laptop, on my old laptop I used Mageia 1 (excellent distro) on this new one with more recent hardware I installed some distros and with all of them I had some detail with the hardware, I installed Ubuntu 12.04 and it is going great, quite well, I have no problem with the graphics that are from AMD Radeon, the graphics do not freeze or I have image sweeps, at first it was in the negative with Unity, but after a week, I no longer change it for anything, it is much more usable than Gnome Shell. In the first days of the 12.04 release, it threw me some bugs; but they have already been fixed and now it works quite well.
I think that one as a user looks for what best suits him, first: for the activities we carry out, and second and not least, the compatibility with the hardware, I comment from my own experience, I installed other distros first and Ubuntu last just not to I gave up on my new computer, and I didn't install it because I got alienated because of what some here say: "it's a bad distro" "it's not a distro" and a long etc. derogatory qualifiers towards it; but when I installed it oh, what a surprise, I said to myself: «if I had installed it from the beginning, I would not have had so many problems» and most importantly, «I would not have wasted much time», in: how to improve the output HDMI video? How to make Bluetooth work? and others, it is actually an excellent distro, although some say it is not, I highly recommend it.
Greetings to all XD
Greetings.
The truth is Ubuntu is always a mess just installed, and you have to work for 2 or 3 days to remove Unity, configure another more usable desktop, identify drivers, make the audio run and recognize and install peripherals that does not matter as much as installing a Arch completely from scratch to end of console beats with dial-up connection and monochrome vga monitor. And at night.
