I got layoff from work not too long ago, so I got some time at hand. So I decided start playing with diferrents distros, just to see what's out there.
This is what I got for testing:
1. Vista
2. Windows 7
3. Fedora 10
4. Kubuntu 9.04
5. Mandriva 2009
6. Ubuntu 9.04
7. openSuse 11.1
Well, I am not going to waste much time with M$, they suck! Fedora is not bad, but ... is not for me. Kubuntu (what was that) it seen that canonical condenmed Kubuntu to suffer in hell. Mandriva is fast, but is not as completed as Ubuntu. This where "my problem" start.
I love Ubuntu is simple, everything work, fast ... not complain from me, and the community is the best, You guys rock! But I am in a stage that I need to learn more, at least that's what I think, so I decided to install openSuse 11.1 Gnome desktop (Kde is not stable). Therefore, after installing openSuse I found out that I can customize it more than Ubuntu. But openSuse forums is not as well organized as Ubuntu making it harder to find info and/or help.
I really want to keep Ubuntu, but I feel like I' stuck on my learning journey. Is there anything that I can do to "learn" more. What I mean is, What can I do to cross that barrier between an user and a "linux tech"? Is that is something that has to do with the distro that I choose or is just a "normal process" within linux users?
Is there anyone, out there who has felt the same way before (broke hearted between distro) Now this is sounding like love story
.
Maybe I got too much time on my hand and I should go back to work (that's what my wife said) :) .
