(And Yes.i KNOW there are more vibrant displaying, and higher cpacity containing laptops out there) But if you want a machine that you'll be able to upgrade to your hearts content, one that can survive a fall from off the top of a car, over the rail of a highway overpass, and being dsat on by a 117Lb teenage boy, then you can't go wrong choosing a ThinkPad. ![]() I have to agree with you on that one topic: Thinkpads are the BEST version of a alptop one can buy. I've always returned to Fedora, I guess its because I first "met" Linux through that distro? All I know is while its not for everyone, due to its rapid release cycle, and the fact that it runs the latest and greatest of apps and software, its been for me? the most STABLE Operating System I've EVER used!(And I had been using Windows since Windows 3.1!!!) I have been using Linux for so long, I could NEVER go back to using Windows.(and I never ventured to the "Mac" side of town!.they were just way too expensive!) But in the end I think its awesome that yet another professional has discovered the "Best Kept Secret" in the world of computing! I "started" with (of all distros?) Fedora.way back when they were on release version 12! They're currently up to release 27 with 28 around the corner.although I've tried quite a few distros in my time?.some which are no longer being developed.Fuduntu-a mix of Fedora and Ubuntu!.PearOS.the most "Apple-ish" clone to ever exist!.Saline Linux.quite a few. But I guess everyone has their own story regarding their first foray into the world of Linux. I wouldn't have chosen Kubuntu as my first dip into Linux, I would have more gravitated towards Ubuntu with the MATE or Cinnamon desktops. Have you switched from Windows or MacOS to Kubuntu or another Linux variant? Or are you considering making the change? Please share your reasons for wanting to adopt Linux, as well as your impressions of going open source, in the comments. An exciting experience for everyone who seeks to refresh their workplace.Challenging with basic components, however very rewarding in return.Even in the short time we've been using it, we'd characterize it as: In general, Linux has refreshed our everyday work lives, surprising us with a number of new options and opportunities. You save system speed, time, and, sure enough, money. People rarely use antivirus apps in Linux, simply because there are so few viruses written for it. ![]() Linux distributions are generally a very safe environment. I believe I've barely scratched the surface of the available options and have yet to explore most of the customization opportunities that this system is well known for. In Settings, I found how to change the color and shape of bars, buttons, and fonts relocate any desktop element and build a composition of widgets, even including comics and Color Picker. One other thing that surprised me compared to Windows is that Linux allows you to configure nearly everything, including the entire look of your desktop. Everything seemed amazingly rapid from the very beginning: the overall responsiveness, the graphics, and even system updates. Linux's biggest advantage, I believe, is its speed for instance, it takes just seconds from pushing the machine's On button to starting your work. We chose version 16.04, which features KDE Plasma 5.5 and many KDE apps including Dolphin, as well as LibreOffice 5.1 and Firefox 45. By reading about Linux users' experience with our software, we became interested in joining them.Ī week after we asked to change to Linux, we got our shiny new computer cases with Kubuntu inside. Second, as I mentioned earlier, ONLYOFFICE products are rather popular within the Linux community. So that was an ideological question, too. Upgrading to newer versions of Windows was an option, too, but that is an additional expense, plus our software competes against Microsoft's office suite. This was rather distracting to our work, which meant we were considerably less efficient than we could be. We needed to make a change, first, because our old systems were not enough in terms of performance: we experienced regular crashes, an overload every time more than two apps were active, a 50% chance of freezing when a machine was shut down, and so forth. My old Windows XP-powered computer was an obstacle to performance, so I started reading about Linux systems (particularly Ubuntu) and decided to try it out as an experiment. ![]() ![]() Our products are popular among Linux users, which made me curious about using Linux as an everyday work tool. Welcome to the communityĮvery day, while working in the marketing department at ONLYOFFICE, I see Linux users discussing our office productivity software on the internet.
