Is linux better than it was, sure, is it as good for non techies as Windows, possible I suppose as I haven't installed Mint in ... ever.

I've tried testing this before and I've never seen any non-techie feel that Windows was better. Literally, never. I've only seen experienced Windows users that did not want to switch. Starting from scratch, Linux has always been found to be easier in the few "greenfield" tests that I've ever seen.

Awesome, provide some feedback on how you like it.

Maybe I miss-read it, but searching Kylin Ubuntu appears to be made by the Ubuntu Org (with specific feature request and additions by the Chinese Government/Programmers)

Did you look on Wikipedia? It's been made by the Chinese government (through a university) since 2001 before Ubuntu was around. They moved to Ubuntu as a base but I've seen nothing being done by Ubuntu themselves listed. Maybe I've missed some details but as far as I have seen it's all inside of China.

@scottalanmiller people still pay to play EvE online, which is just another job. Trust me I know

Way too much time and money spent on that game. So much fun.... so much work :(.

Programmed with http://thinkonbytes.blogspot.com/2014/04/xubuntu-open-whisker-menu-with-windows.html

Really simple to do, so the question is, why was it left off....

I had one of these (older model) Of course only had a one year warranty and at 13 months it starting having a problem where it would not power up. sometimes unplugging the battery would do the trick, but that required using a torq driver to remove the bottom.

I have no desire to ever own one of these again.

I just got vbox 5 installed last night. I might give this a whirl if yawl want me to. 🙂

It looks beautiful, but I have a hard time leaving gnome every time I try. It's just so easy to use. Plus you can make it look half decent with some extensions.
