Well I think it is awesome that Ubuntu is open source and free, but my video settings even with the proper drivers seems horrible. My computer stubbles just loading up the sims 3 website. Lots of things don't work and it is always a hassle having to use another operating system. I mean after this itouch I will never buy another one unless it is open to Linux. My sound doesn't work even though it worked when I first install it. My wireless USB logitech headset only one speaker works. Other then that it is great, but I use these few things so much.
I use speakers every day obviously....the wireless headset I use to make Skype calls around the world and it is just annoying having video problems. Linux has several advantages over Windows... I want to be able to get a good setup make everything work and make a backup of that exact setup and never have to worry about it again save all my important documents on a separate drive and simple reinstall if something happens. I would love spending my time actually doing things on my computer rather then constantly fixing it or programming different software, ahhh there is my rant hahah...frustrating....sorry for the bull but it seems like I supposedly fix something and it only half way fixes it. Any way thanks for the info you may have.
