I used Debian once before, years ago at the time Debian seemed difficult
to configure software was way behind the times. I don't know if I'm just
getting older more cranky, but I *think* I'd rather have older but stable
just works. For now, I'll have the option to boot into either Debian or
Ubuntu. I've used Ubuntu for years, but this Unity is killing me. Maybe
Debian will be a better fit for me. If so, I'll shrink my Ubuntu partition
or, maybe even delete the partition. If not, vise-versa ...Linux does give
you options.
I've put my time in with Unity as my main OS ...I'm not a fan. I tried to
like Unity. At this point, instead of seeming dated I'm betting Debian is
going to seem more like the old Ubuntu I once loved where as Unity is just
frustrating. I *wanted* to like Unity. I appreciate the *concept* of one OS
for phones, tablets computers. Regretfully, Unity has only taught me to
appreciate how great my iPhone works.
For the same reason Canonical wants to be on multiple devices, I could see
my next computer purchase being a Mac. I found Unity ...while pretty... was
also cumbersome, poorly executed, non-intuitive, buggy *very* frustrating.
*Meanwhile* iOS is *so* polished, so easy, so intuitive yes*very* pretty.
*If* Unity ever makes it to phones/tablets, I'm sure I'll give it a good
look-see on those devices. I must admit though, it'll take a *lot* for me
to switch from iOS. While I prefer my Linux just work, I *demand* my
phone just works. Anyway, back to configuring the new OS.
