Not a bash on Windows! History: I've used linux in the past, and decided to experiment because my desktop a Dell has some kind of Gremlin on the windows side that causes it to reboot on it's own. Being concerned it's a hardware problem first hit control-delete to see if anything stood out, cache files, or to many apps running in the background etc. Only thing that stood out that I could tell was with nothing running and it just idle it'd creap up from about 30% ram used to about 40% Mixed in firefox because I like the session save and restore addon it'd hover around 40% and my games would easly push it to about 55-60% used. By used in the pased I meen KDE 2.0 I think it was when I'd start my fun box I'd get a mysterius line that said username@bash(or somesuch) and to get to xorg typed in start x, and flash didn't play with I think it was Mandrake (no idea what number)
Why: Why not? Plus it be useful to see if it has a buried gremlin. Results: I had Ubuntu 1405 Trusty I think it is. Sufficed to say Ubuntu is growing on me, and after about 4-5 days of doing my routine things mostly works. *yeah* Just to see if it's a hardware issue decided to spin up chromium, then Chrome with random google searches ,and tossed in a bunch of tabs in firefox, and my old ooold del from 07 or so. No crash, no bluescreen. *yeeeah* Questions: I'm not particularly familiar with chromium, and not maried to it as a browser iether. I didn't see where it might have somethlike addblock. I ask because websites I might typically go to (google, bing git, wordpress.com etc) hadd all sorts of inline adds, that I gather addblock on FireFox keeps out*yeeeah*
