Solus, Distro Hopping, and Me

Holy fuck I hate my life. Let's start from the beginning.

So, I haven't been in the right state of mind I feel since my last blog. I'm getting better you could say, but not where i'm comfortable. I've just kinda been riding life I guess. Nothing real exciting, but nothing real bad. I guess you can say right now is bad. I'll get to that in a bit. I have been trying to improve myself for the better. I've been taking walks around the neighborhood and cleaning up (excessively) and doing some other good things. I have taken a complete interest in the Bible and the word of Christ. I just wish I owned one. Having physical books always beat reading it on a screen. I want to buy one soon.

So, about that ol' thing called Linux. I was doing good with Souls, and maybe it's because i'm not in the greatest mental state I decided to wipe it. I wiped it all. I made backups and then I switched to something called Ubuntu Budgie.

Let's get this straight. I loved Solus. Solus was awesome. It just didn't have what I needed from an OS. It didn't have some key components I needed and most things you had to compile from source or even make a whole VM for. But It worked so fucking well, and I am now realizing my mistake. Let me rant for a bit

Ubuntu Budgie is the worst thing I have ever installed on my computer, and this is including GTAV malware and "Ultra Xvid pack.exe". This distro is so fucking slow and buggy it hurts turning on my PC, and i'm sure it is physically hurting the HDD being installed. I can't EVEN FUCKING REMOVE LIBREOFFICE FROM THE GOD DAMN THING. I WOULD DO A SCREENFETCH BUT THE SHIT IS LOCKED UP. Let me put this in perspective for you.

I could set up Solus with all what I needed in 15 minutes. Updates and all.

This thing wouldn't even install updates in the software store, or anything for that matter. It didn't come with libtorrent and fuck you if you try to remove something, because you would have to guess when it was done. You don't get a nice loading bar to know when it's done. It's a fucking guessing game because that shit is going to say "Remove" until you reboot your fucking machine. I am downloading Zorrin right now. I just need something, and I might come home to Solus if this gets too rough.

Oh yeah, and Plank doesn't even work half of the time. Never trust a distro coded from Indians

Update, typing this from Ubuntu live USB.

This is the first time I can say linux updates killed my OS. Now it just boots into shell on startup. So much for ubuntu being user-friendly

I am a Mint user and have been since the days of Celena. I even got Linux Mint 5 named "Elyssa" upon request. I've never found another distro better. I do, however, enjoy Lubuntu because of it's low specs and runs the LXQt desktop environment now [since the beta]. But keeping on track, I uninstall the video players, Firefox, and LibreOffice. I then install the latest stable kernel, install media codecs, VLC, 64-bit Google Chrome [not Chromium], and WPS Office.
 
I think your first mistake was looking at Ubuntu, maybe try arch?

Also, If there is a church that follows your religion, you should be able to ask for a bible there, Idkw you wound'nt be able to.

I would stay with Linux Mint but apt-get errors me out. Maybe because I updated AMD drivers..
I'll get rid of it from my laptop and install Win7 again on it.

ZorinOS is also good if you don't mind pre-installed apps like PlayOnLinux, Wine etc. It also has apt-get.

Too lazy but as far as I could tell, some app named 'Server' was blocking the installation the whole time.

I have the similar error in VirtualBox so I will send you a pic.
I don't know, it might be due to that I installed VirtualBox appliance by mistake. *thinking*

Will do that when I will get my hands on it.
 
I am still using Solus myself. openSUSE tempted me, but then the Solus team got back to me and they are using my suggestions~
