In terms of what I now use my Windows VM for these days, it is actually very little. But, they all lack the underlying solid infrastructure of Cannonical’s Ubuntu (with the possible exception of Mint, I do like their LMDE-Mate edition) and so here I am. I have experimented with Mate on other distros, notably Debian, Manajro and Mint. Since then I have stuck with the Mate desktop as it is just so intuitive to use and fits my work flow perfectly. Which is, in fact, the old Gnome 2 desktop brought back to life and up to date. But, it did not feel like it was being maintained well and so, for a couple of years I went with Linux Mint and the XFCE desktop.įast forward to late 2014 and I discovered Ubuntu Mate. When, in 2012, Ubuntu 12.04 came out with the dreaded Unity Desktop as standard, I fell back on the “Gnome Flashback Desktop”, which was in fact the old Gnome 2 Desktop that came with Ubuntu 10.04. I still used it for a lot of my music and 3D design stuff, which I do as hobbies, as well as using it for MS Office, which I need at work and where I often brought home files to work on. But, it was more or less good enough and the steep learning curve that came with 10.04 provided me with good grounding in Linux.īy 2009, I had done away with the winXP partition and, instead, had it as a VM in Virtualbox. Back in the days of Ubuntu 10.04, it could be a real pain to get things like wifi, scanners and printers working. In 2007, I installed Ubuntu 10.04 as a second OS running in parallel with WinXP.
