Post legitimately good reasons why you haven't installed/updated/switched

i only install stable releases

Because Hackintosh exists.

>>59875074
Not LTS

>>59875074
Because Mint hasn't released its autism free version of Ubuntu 17.04 yet.

>>59875104
Ryzen.

I don't trust Canonical
Slow and resource intensive compared to other distros
too slow for updates (Rolling Release)

>>59875074
What does it offer me in GNOME that I don't already have?

Nothing.

>>59875074
Stuck on 14.04.4 because amd is lazy shit and will not update fglrx

>>59875104
LTS is a lie.
it's just for the small core repo. (~2k packages)
do

$ ubuntu-support-status

and see how many packages just have the usual 9 months support,
so you should have upgraded to 16.10 months ago and keep upgrading within the support period.

linux battery life

>>59875215
They should still get security updates. My server shows nginx as not supported but it would be bullshit if they would allow nginx run without security patches.

>>59875074
There is none.

reached end of life on Aug 2016.

you should never fall for LTSEnablementStacks and stay at 14.04.1 if you want actual long term support.

close bug because fixed in newer upstream version, but their stable version is still frozen and broken.

backports/testing/unstable isn't really supported and Debian 9 takes 3 years.
great distro.

>>59875074
I use lubuntu.

Does that count?

>>59875074
Not LTS.

>>59875074
cause I'm a lazy fatass and never update anything that's not broken.

>>59877395
there's no long term support for most packages, see >>59875215
if you are using it as a desktop you prolly have lots of unsupported packages by now.

I am using ubuntu in vmware and I noticed something weird with chrome or vmware.

Every version of ubuntu >14.04 has similar problems with chrome, chrome is not freeing memory after tab is closed, after few days of websites or several vids it will get 100% ram and cause whole system to stop, after awhile it will crash several tabs and ram gets lower, but it require restart to get free more ram.

I have not seen to many open tickets about it on ubuntu so I guess its vmware tools thing.

>>59877610
links to lp

Reading the patch notes it has almost nothing of note over the previous version, and I didn't use the previous version. Plus my hardware does it's best in Windows 10 Creators Update with game mode and dx12 :D

Why are you using Chrome? It's malware bundled as a browser.

>>59875074
I didn't know it was released yet desu

>>59877726
I do not know why vids have such shitty quality in firefox on ubuntu in vmware.

For example xhamster 720p vids on firefox looks like 360p.

Back then with flash or now with html5 its still shit.

Similar situation with pornhub and other

>>59877680
No one cares about your desktop. he asked for a reason and you gave one, he didn't ask for a picture of your desktop.

I use vmware as my main os but I find it more comfy to use it from vmware.

It works smooth and the most cpu/gpu heavy task is yt in 1080p.

I use bare linux only on server and router.

Because I prefer Windows 10

>>59875074
I'm happy with 16.04 LTS for now. Maybe I'll update in a few months, or if I hear of some new feature I really want.

>>59875091
I have a Ryzen PC.

>>59875074
every time i want to use ubuntu i remember how shit unity is

and MATE is nothing like GNOME 2.

That's why

>>59875084
Well done. 16.04 til 18.04

Hse is a nice touch in LTS

>>59883770
Do you enjoy having old and buggy software? LTS is really created for servers, not desktops. Most of desktop packages get into dinosaur state very quickly, and barely anything is backported in reasonable way.

>>59875074
im already using 16.04

>>59875074
Because Budgie Remix user here, no 17 release yet

>>59877815
Who the heck are these guys? I need a quick rundown

how the fuck do i turn off mouse acceleration on this shit

>>59884147
xset m 140/100 0
First setting is sensitivity, second is acceleration

>>59875074
isn't it out today? I have shit to do nigga

>>59875161
a persistent GPS icon that doesn't go away even after you disable location

>>59884168
Oh and btw you need to add this to startup, this change is not permanent

>>59882837
Ubuntu comes with AppArmor not SELinux.
the later is only available as some unloved package w/o any profiles.

Because Kubuntu looks a million times better.

>>59884195
i did this and it didn't do shit and how do i add it to startup?

>>59884215
try
xset m 140/100 1
then. I'm not on ubuntu right now so can't confirm the command I used to use

why are you still using 16.04 that reached end of life months ago?
see >>59875215

Ok how do i install this shit?
Been trying with # apt-get update, # apt-get update-dis and nothing

>>59876942

Those are all valid reason, you retard. Seems like you are the one who has no idea what he's talking about.
I suggest you pick up a few more myths and memes and then spread them as knowledge to feel smart. Kill yourself.

because i dont know how to setup my Folders, so that just the system itself will be updated in a fresh install.

i dont want to reinstall everything/backup my home folder every 6 months

>>59884963
There is an Upgrade option where it just installs the new packages

>>59875074
Unity is only slightly better than GNOME and GNOME is objectively terrible

>>59875091
Since I'm not a third world pajeet poo in the loo nigger, I can just buy a macbook.

>>59884963
You can

do-release-upgrade -d

in terminal. Just edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades to

Prompt=normal

before running if you're on LTS. Also read the notes in that file to understand why you might have to run the release upgrader twice.

>>59875074
i can't cancel mouse acceleration anymore. i want to go back to 16.04

Antergos comes with a great cinnamon theme, is rolling release, and has the AUR

>>59875084
This. Have been doing this since 12.04, works like a charm every time.

>>59875074
I've installed it but curious what will happen to Unity should I keep it, happen to upgrade one day, or keep it beyond 18.04. I don't want Gnome.

I love Unity

>>59875074
I don't know. I don't know what distro I'll use when I reinstall. Why should I use Ubuntu 17.04?

>>59875074
I'm currently using Fudora 25. I might head back on over to Canonicaland when they poop out 18.04 LTS.

>>59875074
Because [spoiler]I prefer Windows 10[/spoiler]

Question:

I got a dual screen setup
When I have firefox or chromium open on both screens and I'm watching a video on one browser window, scrolling in the other gets extremely sluggish.

Wat do?

Specs:
i7 6700k @4,5GHz
32GB RAM
GTX 1080

I tried noveou and nvidia drivers
same result

>>59889424
Oh and I tried HTML5 and Flash player
same result

>>59889424
Install an actual desktop OS rather than a bastardized server os which is a poor mans clone of an 1970's os.

>>59889496
I tried debian aswell as mint and shit.
also I tried every flavor of ubuntu
Same results everywhere

Arch is fine and has worked fine for me for years.

>>59884288
I adopted a rule of this IT guy I know: only install an LTS if it reached .3 release.

I broke this rule with 16.04, though.
I installed .1, but it was shit (problems with the graphics) until I got the rolling kernel update.
