As a primary OS. I'm curious.
I do use Lubuntu in a VM at work (where my main system is Win7) but I use #! and Debian for everything else.
How many members/staff still use Ubuntu?

Ubuntu or *buntu?
Ubuntu - I stopped using that when it didn't work for me anymore - round about 11.x
draw your own conclusion from that
Been using Xubuntu since then.
Never got #! to install for me a year or so ago - I've no longer got the energy, inclination or whatever to fiddle with it.
I'd use debian if I didn't have to fight some philosophy to use my machine.
Used Fedora for 6 months - that's where I'd go if I had to go anywhere - but I'd not be trying to use gnome shell with it.
Been on Windows for ages... but my energy for FOSS was waning so I installed Ubuntu yesterday again on my desktop and that is what I am primarily using now :) 12.04 with some updated applications thanks to PPA's and the odd deb online...
I've used Kubuntu for a few years now. I switched from Gnome2 when the latter was dropped and Unity took its place. I really like KDE, but right now I'm using i3 window manager just for geeky thrills.
I have openSuse 12.3 installed on an external drive, but I don't boot it very often.
I am using Ubuntu as my main OS. I stay with LTS releases. All my computers, with the exception of my notebook, can run VMs since they have plenty of cores and RAM. I try a lot of things as VMs.
I have to use Win 7 as my main OS for work (as a .NET developer you're kind of limited in that sense...), and I just got an iMac for home, partly for space reasons, partly so I can have stuff that allows me to look at iOS development, and partly because it has a bash terminal. I still run Ubuntu on my server (currently 10.04, should really upgrade that), and I may look at getting a VM setup on the iMac when I have time.
My distro hopping days are long over. I think it was Gentoo that cured me of that. :shudder:
I think I was one of two who quite liked the introduction of Unity in Natty and I've been happy with the way Unity has developed ever since. Posting from Unity/13.04.
I was amused by all the 12.10 is the most unstable version type threads that were around a few months ago. At the time we were preparing for the forum upgrade and doing a lot of work on the staging server. Every day for a month or more I was using 12.10 (Unity) on my desktop with dual monitors, usually with Firefox (many tabs and logged into the live forum), and one or more instances of Gimp, gedit, terminal, Nautilus, XChat, Banshee (for musical distraction), Thunderbird and I forget what else open as I worked on stuff for the upgrade. Plus Virtualbox with a virtual machine running 12.10 (Unity again) with a custom hosts file so that I could log into the staging server for the test forum. It all worked like a dream and never crashed once! :)

Ah but the reason it seemed stable was that it was continuously crashing in all directions at once and that kept it up and running :p

I've reached that age where the kids are grown and gone and my professional position allows me to have some extra resources, so I have gone a little over the top... OK, WAAAAY over the top. Well, *stupid excessive*, really.
I suppose that my primary is Kubuntu 13.04. I have 6 physical machines running on my home network (besides the wireless laptops everyone uses) on a gigabit wired network.
I use NoMachine NX to get to a vanilla Ubuntu machine (12.04 LTS) that acts as a server, but is the desktop version rather than the server version because I also use it to run some distributed science applications that have GUI interfaces.
I also NX into a machine running a KDE spin of Fedora 18.
I RDP into a Win 7 Ultimate machine. (I am also a .NET developer at my day job, so I use Windows at work.)
So I always have the Kubuntu, Ubuntu, Fedora and Win 7 up and I constantly use all of them. The "main" Kubuntu machine has three monitors and 6 sides on the cube, so I can just spin the cube to get to any of the others at any time.
I also have two Ubuntu 12.04 machines as servers running headless that I SSH into for administration.
I may have any number of VMs (VirtualBox and QEMU-KVM) running other distros open at any given time. I usually have Bodhi Linux and/or openSUSE running.
I don't have any particular preference, other than the fact that my "central control hub" is a Kubuntu machine and I don't want to horse around too much with that because I have everything set up around it.
I'm an "equal opportunity" distro and OS user.
Mrs QIII calls the computer room "Mission Control" and I am the ÜGIC (Über Geek In Charge).
@QIII- sounds like quite the setup! Maybe someday when I'm old and smart and donkey-like.... :P
I guess the main reason I quit using Ubuntu was that it simply was too much for my hardware; that and I was interested in playing with Debian instead. I still like trying new distros occasionally (finished an LFS build a month or so ago) but I like my main machine(s) to be stable.
cortman said: donkey-like
Quite the ambition you have there. ;)
I still use Ubuntu on my laptop, mostly because it's the most interesting distro around when the new releases come around. I've recently switched to #! (thanks for the recommendation!) on my desktop, as it suits me a little better than Lubuntu did. I'll see how that goes...
QIII said: I've reached that age where the kids are grown and gone and my professional position allows me to have some extra resources, so I have gone a little over the top... OK, WAAAAY over the top. Well, stupid excessive, really.
I don't see it as "stupid excessive" at all.

I understand that about the "central control hub". About 5 years ago I was interested in virtual cloud computing. I used Eucalyptus with the KVM hypervisor for learning about it at home. The Cloud Controller or "central control hub" deployed VMs of my choosing to 5 other Node computers.
It turned out to be beneficial, not "stupid excessive". For the 5 years before I retired I worked on IaaS or virtual cloud computing as a lead systems engineer at my job. It turns out that because of FOSS I was one of the few engineers at the company of thousands of engineers that knew about or had any experience with IaaS or virtual cloud computing. I was able to keep my job until I was ready to retire. :)
Yeah, I use Ubuntu, latest version on both the PC and server. I have given up installing operating systems. I intend on purchasing it pre installed if possible next time.
12.04 is the "main" OS on one laptop (dual boot with Vista), 12.04 server edition for my server, and a Wubi installation (within Windows 7) which needs updating or deleting on my other laptop. There's even a copy of 6.06 on a really old machine that I haven't powered up for a while....
I started with 7.04, around the 3 month mark when most of the "worst release ever" threads have quietened down. Since then, I've seen the "worst release ever" threads about every single release. Funny thing is that 6 months later, you'll hear that [release -1] is rock solid and the ideal.
I took a brief foray into Fedora and Debian a couple of years back. I was having major "can't get the system to boot" problems with the Lucid development version on my main PC, so needed to look at alternatives in case it never got fixed. Once that got solved, I realised that I was setting up the alternatives - especially Debian - to look/behave as much like Ubuntu as possible. To me, I couldn't really see the point of that.
Around that time, I realised that I could do all sorts of interesting things by starting with a command-line install (or even debootstrap) and building up from there. To me, it makes more sense to start with a base system whose behaviour I kinda sorta know, instead of branching out into the wild unknown and having to ask questions on forums which are a lot less friendly than this one.
Should also mention that I was quite involved with Puppy at one stage. I quit that when the consequences of their moderation policy (or lack of it) started to look scary and as though they might affect me personally. For that reason, forum policy and behaviour play a big part in what I'll get involved in.
Currently, running 12.04 as main OS on PC and netbook, with a couple of 13.10 installs floating around to see what's happening.
I'm probably going to end up using Xubuntu in the near future, as my machines get too old for the latest. One has a weird graphics chip that won't do 3D, which I have to take into account. And, no, I simply don't have the money to upgrade at the moment.
I use Windows primarily. I have used Ubuntu from my "multipass" multiboot USB key to pull files off machines and other stuff.
I use Debian at work and on my server (now). I still have a Precise VM, so does that count? :p
EDIT: Oh yeah, I have Fedora installed on my old desktop.
Xubuntu is the main O/S on my laptop (at work I remote desktop into a Windows 7 desktop when I need it). Plus I manage a number of CentOS servers at work as well. Home server is now running Ubuntu 12.04LTS. All 3 of the kids are running Ubuntu now as well - they actually prefer it to Windows - go figure. The only holdout is Mrs ToZ - she's stuck in her ways.

Nice.
I was running 12.04 on my server at home, but I moved to Debian partially because of the direction Ubuntu is heading but mostly cuz it's the only thing that is supported by Proxmox. :p
It kicks the crap out of running Vbox, but I think that has to due with using KVM and OpenVZ instead of the proprietary garbage that Vbox pollutes the kernel with. :p.
Oh and less dependencies...
Ubuntu is my primary OS on my Netbook. I tried more than once to install Windows XP Pro on it, but the installer says the HDD has a virus and errors out. I have ubuntu installed on my desktop, but it isn't getting much love. It doesn't work with my DVR and I haven't looked up how to mount my truecrypt partitions yet. I also don't trust my IP lists in Transmission, because it doesn't show what is blocking the way PeerBlock for Windows does.
I have Ubuntu 12.04 on both Desktop and Laptop with gnome-panel or fallback. My desktop has 4:3 monitor so top & bottom panels make more sense to me, plus oldfred is stuck in his ways. XP is still on both systems, but i do not normally boot it.
But I have a lot of extra 25GB partitions with other installs, most Ubuntu different versions or different configurations as tests to see what they are up to and what I may like or not.
Interesting. There's a lot more Windows use among us than I would have guessed.

Is that good or bad? :twisted:
I could probably convert over to *nix if I really wanted to, but I would have to dual boot because most of the games I have on Steam aren't Linux friendly.

Well, my preference obviously is for nobody to use Windows and use Linux instead (push development!) but I respect others' freedom to choose, even if they choose poorly. :p jk
Gaming does seem to be a holdup, I don't do any gaming period pretty much, so that's no bother to me.
CharlesA said: Is that good or bad? :twisted:
No problem as far as I'm concerned. I thought that we encourage members not to be raving fanboys/girls and to support others in using what works for them.
FTR I have a Windows install that gets used mainly for testing how websites look in IE.
Ubuntu + XFCE + Gnome Shell . Win 7 for school , games, and Opera Next testing because there is no Linux web kit/Chromium version yet.
Main computer has 2 solid state drives and a mechanical drive. One ssd with Precise and the other with Raring and Saucy on it. All data/document folders are on the mechanical drive symlinked to the ssd /home folders.
Idea being to use Saucy as the main production day to day system, but can go progressively back if there is a problem. So far Saucy is running as sweet as a nut, which means 12.04.2 and 13.04 only get booted to update them. Have to say that Raring in development was just as good.
1 laptop running 12.04.2 for the missus, another laptop running 13.04, and another 2 running Xubuntu 13.04.
All phones and tablets are Android, for the time being... ;-)
Various VMs in addition, including vista and xp mainly for support issues.
Main desktop has two drives. One has raring tje other u+1. Laptop dual boots win7 and raring. I mainly use ubuntu. Unity is fine with me. Like it now.
Main machine always LTS, right now 12.04.
Main Laptop is triple boot: Win7, 12.04 and 13.04. I don't use Win7 besides playing games that are not well ported to Linux (latest: Vessel).
Home server has 10.04 right now. I was planning to upgrade to 12.04, but there's always something.
Raspberry Pi as a HTPC running Raspbian.
Old laptops for fun: Xubuntu (P4), Lubuntu (P3), and 12.04 server (P4).
Several VMs also for fun: PfSense, Bodhi, TinyCore, etc.
Regards.
I'm running Saucy on my main system, with Ubuntu Gnome 13.04 as a stable backup.
Saucy Ubuntu Gnome on my netbook.
Two Servers running 12.04 server version of course.
One fairly ancient Apple G3 running Debian stable, not sure what version though.
I'm posting this from my android tablet running jelly bean.
My netbook has Xubutnu, Arch, Windows 8 and dev version of Xubuntu. This is my main machine that i use.
My laptop has Windows Vista, Ubuntu, Xubuntu and Slackware.
Both my servers run Ubuntu 12.04 but i have set up a PXE server on my test server and that serves loads of distributions.
Currently trying to get Hirens boot ISO to boot from it. Getting a kernel crash using memdisk.
I do use Windows but my main OS is Arch or Xubuntu.
If I'm in Arch, I'll chroot into Xubuntu when I'm offering support on the forums. That is one reason why my help is almost always based on terminal commands.
Various machines - various versions of Ubuntu... one aging machine running outdated Lubuntu, but newer versions refuse to give me proper screen resolution. I suspect more of my machines will be evolving to lighter-weight versions.

Windows again... if your OS can't even handle the basics of Windows management without you having to struggle then you are doing something wrong :/
I run ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I have tried several other distro's including gentoo but it was to painful.
I absolutely do not like using windows.

crunchbang! :)
I have tested crunchbang a few times and like it. I actually installed it on my netbook, then I had a kneejerk reaction and moved on to the next OS when I installed Chrome and for some reason it wouldn't open using the Chrome link in the menu. I am wondering, could that have been because I missed the Install Chrome link and installed the .deb my self using dpkg?
Does anyone have a netbook running anything other than ubuntu? No other variantsI have tried will work with the Touchpad button to disable the touch pad.
Well I am back to Xubuntu, rocking it on my laptop... Phear the meece!

Fedora ftw? :D
Kinda obvious, yes?
Definitely _has found_ for the moment....
I have went through a long list of installs over the past few days. The results for the time being, LinuxMint Cinnamon on my primary machine, Crunchbang on the netbook and Lubuntu on my daughter's desktop.
I just can't be bothered to look anymore.
I'll keep using the same old till Ubuntu decides it's going to make life hard for flavours - no I've not heard/seen/read anything
Really got better things to do with my time :)
BuMP for an ill-fated attempt to switch to Mageia... there seems to be a serious of Linux kernels out there that causes my old Intel based cpu/gpu laptop to boot into a blanked screen...

Bump for old times sake. How is everyone?
Still use Ubuntu or _buntu on all of my machines. My slower laptops run xubuntu, I have one laptop that's capable of the Unity desktop (which I've grown quite fond of), and a whole bunch of LTS servers.
Hey dmizer! Nice to see you. Hope everything has been well with you.
dmizer said: Bump for old times sake. How is everyone?...
Pleased to see old heads wandering around :)
Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS on my Laptop. Ubuntu 13.04 on desktop, I'm following the current release schedule and 13.10 also (on another partition) for mir testing :-)
I am using Ubuntu both the versions and three GUI's :P
12.04 on my desktop, 13.04 on my HTPC... and just upgrading to 13.10 alpha 2 on my laptop as we speak!
I very nearly became one of you all again. Had Ubuntu 12.04.2 on my netbook for a brief period of time. Unity 2D was just too much for me though, and so I am using Mint XFCE. I really needed a couple programs from PPAs...
Hello Everyone :) Glad to see so many of you still around :)...... This days I have Linux Mint as a Media Server and Windows 7 on my gaming PC.
Used Ubuntu from 5.10 to 10.10, after which I switched to X/Lubuntu.
I have tried a lot of distros for a short spin and purged most of them again. Only Bodhi Linux (supporting old hardware with or without PAE through 2017) is still here. Seems very promising, and I guess the surviving distros will soon be Xubuntu and Bodhi.
- and yes, good to see some of the old names back :-)
Hey everyone :)
All home computers, including the kid's, are running Linux, one distribution or another. My eldest son keeps on testing and always comes back to an ubuntu flavor. Both youngest ones run standard current ubuntu. I have 13.04 lubuntu on my aging laptop (total 6 machines, 3 desktops for the kids, one netbook for the eldest one, 2 laptops). Work machines are Apple, iMac, MBP, iPad. I could not talk myself into touching Windows and MacOS did not look that foreign to me :)

Hey there! Long time, no see. :)
Glad to see someone else running Win7 on their gaming machine.
Hi Ms_Angel_D, it's been a while since we've seen you around.
CharlesA, I would imagine that the majority of gamers run Win 7, as it's just easier than fooling around with wine to get games to work while running a Linux distribution.
Bump for the weekend in the middle of the week. :-)
Indeed. That is the reason I use it, but school is also a big part of it too.
Besides it works for me. :p
Ms_Angel_D, nice to see you back. I am not a gamer but I'm sure I have Window 7 on at least a few of my computers either as a dual boot or a VM. That reminds me that I should probably update them :)

As far as the Windows 7 Goes, I was really excited for Guild Wars 2 to come out and my linux box, just didn't have the power to run such a game, at least not in way it should be. So over about a 6 week period we started buying parts and I built a new rig all for the love of gaming...lol. I got lucky with the Windows 7 though. I had a friend who's a microsoft business partner and they were able to give me a free & legal copy of it, which was nice because I was seriously begrudging having to pay so much for an OS...lol.
/me wanders by late to the party to say hi ms_angel_d - good to see you :)
Haha. Free is good. :D I started playing GW2 again, but it still hasn't grabbed me like the first one did.

Yeah, I lost interest in it about 6 months ago, which really blows because I wanted to love it. Oh well at least I have a new rig :D
Here's the build I went with, it actually cost a bit more at the time I was putting it together, but that was over a year ago so prices have dropped obviously..lol.

Nice build! I really, really wanted to like it, but I don't think I even got past the human starter area before losing interest because it was just too different.
Of course, my first character was an elementalist and they are squishy... I am thinking of trying a ranger or guardian to see if they are a better fit.
Yeah Ele's are a bit squishy. Honestly I can't tell you what exactly it is about the Game, but for some reason I just can't find an interest in it. I have 3 level 80's (ele, mesmer, warrior) so it's not for lack of trying. But even now, I'll log in and then after only an hour or so, I'm just like "meh..." and log right back out. I had returned to rift for a bit, but lately I've just been a bit busy what with school and all so I haven't been really playing anything.

Huh. That's pretty much what my um... deal is with it, too. It just didn't grab me like the first one did and I can't get into it. Maybe with more play time, but it might also be that I burned out on WoW, so I'm pretty much done with MMOs.
Ubuntu exclusively.

Actually, I'm in a 3-phase retirement plan. I started #1 last year, #2 starts October 1, and the final phase much further down the road. Each one is even better than the one before.
Looking from the outside I appreciate the Staff's efforts on the forums even more.
All the best.

Hey, somehow I missed this thread before now. It's great to see a lot of old faces back again.
I'm xubuntu everywhere at the moment - home desktop, netbook and work laptop. Right now, I prefer Ubuntu server for the servers at work though.
I do find myself typing in "apt-get" instead of "yum" at work. I'm a Debian guy but I will do whatever distro pays the bills :)

Done that. I usually use Windows at work, so I have to catch myself when I type stuff like mv or cp or whatever.
Then again, I'm the one who built the Debian box to host the internal wiki we use after migrating it from an old Windows 2K box that hadn't been updated in forever.
I don't even remember when I build the damn thing.. is that bad? :D
