I have Ubuntu on my pc, but currently using windows 7/xp, mostly for the games. And I have been using windows for so long i find it hard to really ease into a Linux environment. Who knows maybe its just Ubuntu that I cant get used to.
I had a look an Gentoo and I was like 'i think may not use it yet'.
So yeah I want to get rid of Ubuntu and try a new distro. Any recommendations for a power user, but still relatively new Linux user that doesnt involve too much difficult compiling?
I quit Windows once my audio stopped working and just got used to Ubuntu. Mostly just sitting around on Ubuntu Forums made me remove the Windows partition. (If you know what guitarist named his guitar "Arm the Homeless" and know what band he's in, you could find me there)
Gentoo isn't even practical for me yet.
I'm not into that kind of compiling fetish.
If you can have a laptop or something to follow instructions to setup a GUI, then I'd recommend Arch. It's barebones, so you build it yourself. Which makes it very lightweight.
Ubuntu is kind of like, the starting distro. It's the one I started with. Ubuntu Forums will help you ease in. Maybe Fedora might work for you?
