I got my old Vista machine working and partitioned the hard drive so I could install Ubuntu. Went with 64 bits on about 113 GB of storage.
So far, I've:
- installed Cairo as a dock,
-Conky for my background and adjusted it to show the weather,
-Firefox,
-Chrome,
-Wine to run Spotify,
-had to installed hal to make Flash run in my browsers (even though hal was supposedly obsolete)
-GIMP,
-Sublime Text 3 (trial version still),
-Steam,
-Unity Tweak Tool (I know people hate Unity, but it doesn't seem to get in my way)
-Dropbox
On my to do list:
- Remove that "helpful" Amazon Results feature (I know how, I just for some odd reason keep forgetting to toggle the switch when I start playing with the box)
-add some of my messenger accounts
-get some sort of remote desktop going
-compile some code (HTML and Python to start, C++ later on)
I honestly couldn't care less about adding the Facebook and Google apps. I'm trying to keep it nice and streamlined. As it is, I'm about to remove Chrome.
My main concerns at the moment are:
- I can't get Chrome remote desktop to work, which was the whole reason I installed Chrome. I should have read up on it first, as it seems it won't work without a lot of tweaking in Wine. Is there a simpler solution? I want to be able to remote in from my Win7 laptop.
-Where can I find some good projects for my new toy?
