I have actually been to a Publix. When we were in Orlando visiting Disney.Being lazy here tonight, the wife is picking up some things at Publix and grabbing a couple big deli subs.
60mm of rain >>>>> whatever that translates to in snow.
Well this freaking blows. Synergy crashed so I lost access to my two side monitors, and the stupid update DELETED that package off my machine. Now I can't start it again. The latest version has too many dependencies so I can't get it to install. Looks like I'm royally screwed now... Was planing on formatting and reinstalling a newer distro anyway... but really don't feel like doing that now.
Time to fire up Slackware![]()
Probably just going to go with Mint 18 but I'll go with Cinnimon instead of KDE. KDE feels too glitchy at times. The save/open dialog in Firefox is all screwed up and has been for a while, one of the reasons I want to upgrade. That and I'm hoping to find a distro that can do multi monitors properly AKA stuff actually opens on the monitor it was launched from instead of wherever the hell it wants. So I just need to keep trying different distros until I find a proper one.
Windows sucks just as bad at multi monitors. In a way it's even worse. Search for something in Excell, search box ends up 4 monitors down. WTF. Pisses me off so much at work. Click file, open. WTF did it go... oh, it's all the way the hell overthere. I just wish Linux would not do that crap too, otherwise i would not be forced to do ridiculous work arounds such as using Synergy. Apparantly I can't use Synergy on this machine anymore, because of some stupid dependency issue. So now I'm really screwed. Stuck on one monitor again.It's called Windows![]()
Stupid POS installer keeps resetting the USB bus mid boot, so it fails to boot off the CD.
So much for installing Linux Mint on this machine, I'll have to try another distro. So don't feel like dealing with this crap right now. I just want a computer that works. This is the kind of crap that will drive me back to Windows, but I freaking hate the latest versions of Windows, they're garbage in different ways.
This is a workstation.
That's dirty as hell. I'm trying to get away from Windows for my main workstation (already have win7 for games) I want to run Linux natively. Otherwise what's the point.so? run windows then vmworkstation ubutu

Just remembered that you can dd the iso directly to a USB stick and boot off it that way, going to try that.
