Recently I’ve gotten very bored of using Windows, really the only thing it’s good for is games and, even then many good games work perfectly fine under Wine, I guess it also helps I prefer older games such as the classic RPG’s like Baldur’s Gate and Planescape: Torment. Anyways I installed Ubuntu Linux 9.04 from the free CD’s I recently received (love them stickers they send), as expected the install was super simple and I did not have to configure anything except install the nVidia display drivers and that was a breeze.
Linux is so much nicer than Windows I don’t think I’ll ever go back, I have yet to encounter any problem I cannot fix.
Well seeing has I had Linux installed I decided to do some programming as I hate messing around with IDE’s in Windows and having to mess around with the stupid useless console, I decided to learn one thing that I’ve not had the time to do. Linked lists, despite some minor problems I now have a pretty good understanding of them, really all you need to do is look at some code and have a play around whereas many books and online tutorials are just plain confusing, you can find my first bit of code I done in the programming section.
I’ve also been playing some Dwarf Fortress, I really should try play it more often, it is a great game once you get the hang of things, I working on a fort right now so I’ll post some stuff soon on it, sadly I’ve had one death already, my miner got crushed under some rocks… my fault really.
