That [petty grievance] was fixed [Current year - 1]. [software of choice] still remains the industry standard.

KDE devs are absolutely horrible with whitespace distribution. Some parts of the UI are packed more tightly than sardines while other elements are like a golf ball in the middle of a football field.

GTK goes overboard with whitespace generally, but at least they're consistent with its distribution.

That looks fucking Godly

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Tux,
is in fact, GNU/Tux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Tux.
Tux is not a mascot unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning mascot system made useful by the GNU horns, cape
body and a matching set of clothes comprising a full mascot as defined by /gd/.

Many computer users use a modified version of the GNU mascot every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today is often called "Tux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the GNU mascot, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Tux, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the mascot they use. Tux is the sidekick: the mascot in the system
that supports the main hero.
The sidekick is an essential part of a mascot, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete mascot system. Tux is
normally used in combination with the GNU mascot system: the whole system
is basically GNU with Tux added, or GNU/Tux. All the so-called "Tux"
mascots are really versions of GNU/Tux.

Something wrong with your graphics card

I actually got into Linux thanks to my Electronics professor. He used to run Debian Stable with KDE4.

There was this schematic emulator called "KtechLab" and it was truly amazing. So I installed Ubuntu 10.04.

Few years later I came to /g/ and realised windows is garbage.

Now I run Ubuntu in both laptop and homeserver. Windows 7 in my virtual machine for office related tasks

>>55383072
Tried Ubuntu8.something, windows software didn't work so gave up, got curious again and tried Ubuntu 12.10, gave up again because games didn't work or didn't work well(except halo ce and totala which were both great), installed Fedora 22, tried a bunch of DEs, stuck with MATE for familiarity and been using Fedora on my old hp laptop since then.

Got a d2550 board off a mate, installed Ubuntu mate on it and it runs great, but I still use my desktop for games.

2 Linux PCs and one windows pc still being used. Only reason I keep the windows pc is video games, everything else I do on Linux or my phone
