Yesterday I tried out Ubuntu and it was a bit hit and miss.

The install was quick and almost everything worked straight away - like mouse, keyboard and even my internet connection.

Unfortunately, my monitor’s resolution of 1440 x 900 wasn’t available, which was odd. I had to mess around finding out how to change the xorg.conf file, which was tedious.

Trying to get a dual monitor setup on Ubuntu was annoying, lots of messing around changing this and that, which resulted in errors.

I have to admit, I missed the ease of adding new hardware and software on Windows. But that said, I haven’t given up on Ubuntu, as in the long term, these irritations could be well worth it.
