A Clue for you, who invented SystemD, what company does the man work for and who bought the company the man works for? there you go, the dots will connect

why bother if u have physical access to a linux box, just reboot it in init 1 instant root. no need to waste hours of ya life installing windows

PClinuxos is more noob friendly than *buntu and faster to boot (pun intended) and NO sysd if that's an issue too.

used to be called XBMC ;)

Brit here, a "git" is actually a bastard of a bastard.

Why? The source would be available for anyone with knowledge to patch/fix as the source is open for all to see.. not so with closed source and there lies the problem ;)

I have 3 Distros installed all systemd infection free. Slackware, PCLinuxOS and Devuan, all 3 have no problems at all, and it's just nice to use, oh and yeah i do serious work with all 3, my friend on the PClinuxOS kind of things even runs the PCLinuxOS website, forum and other nice things from it. Slackware to keep my hand in the "old" ways of doing things, for example PCLinuxOS you can literally configure everything from the GUI which can be nice to get some things up and running fast, but slack lets my cli knowledge works it's thing to :) oh and well done Devuan for making me think of the old Debian ways :)

Mint is a fine start. also think pclinuxos too, it's actually made to be simple and like mint you can have a variety of desktops disclamier: pclinuxos user and the person behind the trinity desktop version

I prefer http://trinity.mypclinuxos.com... myself. Seriously though, I am pissed off at Microsoft for these problems as being the local "go to" guy I'm sick of people expecting me to fix shit that even the Microsoft devs themselves can't seem to. Yes I get paid for it, at the cost though of wasted time spending on stuff I shouldn't have to. Moan over

He's a Brit, braining yourself does not mean putting a brain in your head.

If you liked KDE3 you should look at Trinity DE

X-Windows is server / client windowing system so yes it's networked :)

0 it was patched before it became news :P

Actually and believe me I'm no MS fan, however NTFS is actually along with the kernel of windows are the only 2 things in the whole of windows that's any good, if you want a shit file system, look at macs HPFS which is a dog, and I mean 'fat' as in fat 16,32, like dog. ext4 is fine and has ACLs ala windows too (if you learn how to use them) as well as UID/GID permissions. sheesh some people, yes in the days of NT4, NTFS was crap, now-a-days it's a stable file system as any of them.
