My opinion is that any system other than Windows is hard to get into. People
may call me a lazy bugger for not learning other OS's, but I think learning
Guitar, and also having 6 hours of school a day is a lot of learning,
without the added "bonus" of getting Linux working.
I am experienced with computers, been using them for 13 years (and I'm 16
years old), and I have a system which has Windows and Linux on. I decided to
put Linux on because I was sick of Windows error messages, but it seems
everytime I start up Linux, theres another problem with it. It wont
recognise my soundcard full-stop, even though I have the right drivers, and
followed the instructions for putting them on down to the last letter, and
the last time I started it up, it wouldn't recognise my main hard drive
(running linux on a partition on my 2nd hard drive), so I couldn't add some
other drivers I found for the sound card.
Now, I dont know if its just that Linux is in a mess, or that my hard-drive
is not in a condition for working with Linux. Most will say that if its not
in condition, its your own fault.....but it works in Windows, so guess what
I use? You use what works with what you have.
Now, I aint saying that Windows is the best, far from it, I would rather run
Linux, but my soundcard is the most important thing in my PC (as in what I
get the most pleasure out of, not more important than having my CPU in
there.....) and if it aint gonna work in Linux, I aint gonna use Linux,
simple.
I would try and troubleshoot it, except that I dont know how, which is the
main difference in Windows and Linux, either me or my dad (and he aint some
daft sod, he's a Network Administration Consultant or something to that
effect) can sort Windows....but not Linux, as neither of us have the
experience. I dont know, maybe I just need someone who has the experience to
help me, but I know no-one that does, so I'm stuck to be quite honest.
Anyway, sorry for the long rambling, maybe half of this was a cry for help,
but I had to get everything out of my system.
