Intel/Nvidia generally have the best graphics driver support for Linux. I wouldn't look anywhere else.

"If Microsoft ever does applications for Linux it means I've won." - Linus Torvalds

WINBLOWS SUX

With hardware like that I'd recommend Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Linux Mint (MATE edition), Crunchbang or some other distribution using a lightweight desktop environment. If you want to try out arch without the barebones approach to get your feet wet with Pacman/systemd; use Manjaro.

No. Just no.

Oh yeah dat MS Flop swag, dat MS Flop swag.. Zune, Kin, Surface ..swag

"Eat shit and die" - Duke Nukem

Yeah MS marketing is pretty horrible. I still facepalm at that dance/robot/popping commercial, and constant clicking of that damn kickstand. It's all really ass-backwards.

I think you're discrediting Ubuntu/Canonical and being harsh way too much. They've done a lot for the Linux ecosystem on the desktop. Whether one agrees with their desktop environment or not, we need a commercialized entity. I'm not a fan of Unity (I despise docks because I love textual cues...

Yeah, it's Microsoft Tiles now. They moved from the wall to the floor.

9 is late to you? Lol damn

Oh god... another Windows 8 thread? Can't we just stop talking about it and let the turd die? :D

Fedora 18 was just released yesterday with updated hardware support. You can try that.

Windows itself is a misstep. Go back to the drawing board Microsoft. :p

WINDOWS SUCKS!! /threadlock

edit: specifically said* bahh

In post 292 you said specifically said "scripts and/or code" for integral parts of the desktop environment. Now you're comparing random scripts to configuration files? Scripts =/= configuration files. No, they're not analogous. Stop moving goalposts and shoehorning your ignorance. Don't be...

Those are not scripts... lol

I believe Slax is like what, 200MB in total size? With KDE also. It's been on a few Linux blog headlines.

Why a girl would impersonate a guy is beyond me.. lol. Highly unconventional, and we're boring anyways. Maybe if I had a peculiar, obnoxious name like DeathBalls69 or JohnnyLongStrokes or something It'd be questionable. That isn't the case here though. :D

How do we know you're not a man? :p

What's wrong with scripting? You don't need to script to modify parts of a desktop environment. That's only needed for creating your own themes using an existing widget toolkit. You seem to be spouting a lot of ignorant blanket statements about Linux. Why not actually learn and use it for...

I WANT MY HL3 FATBOY! >.< i keed

Uh oh Tough guy here gettin' personal.

The fact that people use price an an absolute benchmark for software quality, is telling. If that we're the case, we'd be seeing more web-facing servers running Windows/IIS instead of Linux/Apache, or businesses using MSSQL instead of MySQL/Nginx. We are comparing Apple and Apples. Blender...

Their servers run RHEL I believe, so at least they have some dignity there to be fair.

..and your point is...? That means absolutely nothing when Microshaft is competing against itself due to it's monopoly and hard grip on all major OEM vendors. Microshaft here, sought shoehorning a bolt-on maneuver of Metro (and subsequently an AppStore) on the desktop and using their...

Windows 8 failed, get over it.

Poor employees..

http://funroll-loops.info/ Lol I'm just joshin' ya :p

Gentoo is rice, we don't like rice around here.

Don' be hatin' bro, I love me some yum.

I use Cinnamon on my desktop buddy. :D Not a fan of unity, but I am open-minded enough to acknowledge its strengths and goals as a multi-platform UI for the average masses.

Ubuntu and OS X both utilize docks, but their overall functionality differ a lot. Of course you can't compare Unity and Windows 8. Windows 8 is a flip-flop experience, not a hybrid solution. I don't know why you can't get this shit through that naive skull of yours. Ubuntu is a hybrid...

Ah! The passion! Give me more! LOL

But! But! it's for all teH "legacy" softwarezzz

After years of screwing over their competitors and anti-competitive practices, Microsoft is now complaining... ha.

Yes, for the Ubuntu for Android docking feature; which is specifically designed to be implemented in existing Android phones, I'm referring to Ubuntu itself on Phones. Ubuntu on phones =/= Ubuntu for Android. It's a complete replacement for Android.

The OS is using Ubuntu for ARM at it's core with Androids BSP drivers. It doesn't use Dalvik or Androids kernel; they don't share the same kernel at all. I've yet to see where Shuttleworth said they share the same kernel in the industry proposition video.
