Journal AmiMoJo's Journal: Tested Ubuntu, it's garbage 1

Journal by AmiMoJo on Friday March 31, 2017 @07:55AM

Got Ubuntu working in a VM by setting it to UEFI mode and opting not to install updates during initial setup. Once it was going I set about getting it updated... But where is the updater?

You can configure updates in the system settings, but not actually start them. There doesn't seem to be a start menu or app draw, just a few random quick launch icons, including some Amazon spam. Eventually resorted to searching.

Mouse wheel is just as broken as Mint. Window controls on the wrong side and oddly placed in full screen mode, menus hidden by default. Apparently the window control position is now hard coded because... Fuck you I guess. Lost interest at that point, going back to Mint.

Mint is based on Ubuntu. Why not try a non-ubuntu distro? And while you're at it, try a non-default DE. LXDE, not being so heavy, works better as a desktop environment in a vm.
