Plus, if you have a fancy M.2 to USB 3.0 drive... the install is even faster. It takes longer to go through that configuration for the name and such than it does to install.

 

Ice hockey lad are ya?

For fun or professionally? The lass's dad has been an ice hockey coach for years, not in the UK mind.

 

Aye, i've used it just the once and it worked a treat moving my lass's stuff over when i swapped her laptop hdd for an ssd.

There was a lenovo partition that caused issues that i didn't fancy wasting time on - a fresh install with the attached windows didn't work straight away and acronis just copied the whole drive no issues and worked a treat.

 

Definitely just for fun. I'm way too old and frail now to start playing at a higher level.

 

I understand, take a body check and hospital is more likely now than a little glove fight?

My lass's dad is saying pretty much the same thing about coaching now, only coaches at a much lower less stressful level

 

It's not so much the immediate repercussions I have an issue with (but I'm sure in time that will come) - I can (and do) take and receive a hit with the best of them and play on. It's the next few days that give me issues. My left butt cheek is just about feeling better after having my legs taken out from under me last week and landing squarely on it at speed, just in time for being back out on the ice tonight.

 

I hear you. Yeah it's the recovery time that seems to get worse with age rather than the actual activity.

No matter what people say, or how much we try to convince ourselves, getting old is not fun.

Bodies are so badly designed, i'm just hoping cell rejuvinating pills come along before i'm too far gone

 

Same, I say I'm going to have a system dedicated to a Linux distro, install it, have a dabble as it were then find I much preferred that system on Windows and then end up wiping the drive and doing a fresh windows install, because well like you, life gets in the way. I did read somewhere that Linux was reported to be easier to use than Windows somewhere.

 

I used to have a totally separate linux machine for the purpose of learning it - Thing of it is, I just never used it.

I've installed Penguin on my work laptop as the primary OS. It's forced the issue, and I'm a lot more comfortable with it, although still no idea what I'm doing.

 

Similar boat as others with me, try a linux distro, tinker around then ditch it when I want to game :/

 

Exactly why I put it on my work laptop. Not suitable for gaming because it's **** spec, and it's not mine.

 

learn to code, it's more fun than gaming and easier to do in unix than on winblows

 

I switched from XP to Ubuntu in 2006, then began dual-booting W8.1 in 2014, when I returned to gaming.
I switched to Kubuntu (KDE desktop) last year when Ubuntu dropped their own desktop for Gnome 3.

 

Only run Windows for gaming, other than that it's Ubuntu 18.04 with Unity7 desktop. Gnome 3 is just meh and Unity just worked and was intuitive.

@Gareth Halfacree sssd makes setting up Linux based OSs on an AD much easier. Setting up OpenLDAP to replace AD however, not so easy.
