Tips For Switching Operating System
If you’re anything like me, you want the best computing experience you can get. In order to achieve that, you may feel the need to change your primary operating system. As it is something that you rely on on a daily basis, the can be a difficult decision to make and many considerations. I thought I would just suggest a view areas of you computing life that you should consider before you jump ship.
Functions
At the end of the day, an operating system is there to help you be productive. Regardless of how beautiful you think the given operating system is, if you ultimately are unable to do what you need then you’re setting yourself up for a very miserable experience. Make sure you research software and driver compatibility and make sure the stock OS features you’re used to are present on the operating system to which you hope to migrate. This becomes even more important if your planning on moving to a system that is community driven because it may not have had as much time to mature as its commercial composition.
Look
Having said that, form is almost just as important because your going to be starring at it every day. You must make sure though that the graphic goodies don’t compromise on performance.
Chime In and Give Your Thoughts
- Coherent English must be used.
- This form has multiple fields for a reason. Only enter a real name or nickname in the first box i.e. "Boats For Sale" wouldn't make it. Similarly, the "Website" input is a pre-determined place to post one link so there is no need to have them in the body area. This is a common technique used by spammers and marketers and, as such is not allowed.
- Your comment must be directly related to the post to which it is a response. The idea of a post commenting system is to further the conversation that began in the given article. For instance "great post" is not a comment. My contact form can be used for suggestions or general communications.
- Responses to other comments must be civilised.
- No sexual reference or content is allowed.
- Duplicate comments are a no-no.
Comment Posting Guidance
For the benefit of every non-spambot visiting, following a recent site restructuring I have some rules with regard to etiquette for comment posters. As well as making a better experience for all, they help to distinguish real people for automatic evil machine spam. Due to this, any comment that fails to follow any one of them will be considered spam and removed as soon as possible.
With thanks, Tom
