It's been a year since the last post! ππππππHooray!!!!ππππππ
Now, to make this mailing list active again, I thought we could discuss the stories behind why we use Ubuntu. I got the idea to do this after I found a thread (What was your Linux noob experience like? <https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=191637>) that I started on 10 March 2015 on the Linux Mint Forums. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Here's my story* At some point in either early-2007 and late-2008, I first considered using an operating system that was not Windows XP. During that time, I first heard of Open-SUSE in 2010 and I installed it on a mid-2011 Lenovo V570 in 2012. I kept the pre-installed Windows 7 so I could still boot it even though I mainly just used GNU/Linux. Open-SUSE was the first time I ever used GNU/Linux and I thought that it would be exactly like Windows. I also tried (and failed at) using Windows 8 and I quickly uninstalled not long later. About a year later, I switched to Ubuntu for the first time. I didn't have as many problems with getting working software as I did with Open-SUSE. I used Ubuntu on-and-off for the next few years and had Linux Mint on my (old) PC until the charging adapter stopped working and I got a new laptop. I still don't know exactly what happened to the Lenovo V570. The original forum post said that the laptop overheated. On my new laptop, I uninstalled Windows 8.1 and installed Linux Mint 17.1. A few months later, I switched to Ubuntu 15.10 and I used Ubuntu ever since then.
