as long as you don't overwrite / delete the recovery partition, i think you should be ok. That said, if your system came with win8 preinstalled, you might want to google up articles on installing Ubuntu on the model of your system - just to be on the safe side

I think Deepin 2014 is very well polished than Ubuntu. It is lightweight and aesthetic. You can try it out if you want.

purplekayc:
am only hearing of this version for the very first time.
Is it better than debian and ubuntu?

jacob05:


pheeew... #Team Linux Mint Xfce

all4naija:

I think Deepin has better compatibility than Linux Mint Xfce or KDE. And, it has a better experience in Virtualization than other Linux I have tried out in virtual machine.

jacob05:


Naaaa... Linux Mint 17 xfce is a beast !!!!.... You need to try it and forget [b]Deepin[/b]g yourself into bugs.... #TeamMintXfce

all4naija:

I am talking about experience of Deepin 2014. I have used Mint and Ubuntu extensively. Try it out yourself than arguing.

all4naija:

I never said it is better but well POLISHED than Ubuntu.

jacob05:


You forgot to add that it is based on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

jacob05:
Have you tried 17 ?

Today's the release day for Ubuntu 14.10: Utopic Unicorn!

blackweaver:
@4llerbe you, kde? I'm surprised, always thought you didn't think much of it. As per the pinguy I tried it once too, wasn't impressed. I think for the near future not really into trying unknown distros anymore. Maybe I've gotten lazy.

4llerbuntu:



i still don't

I only installed something else because my 14.04 install crashed. and remember the KDE i'm using is not vanilla. the Pinguy guy already installed and tweaked so many things so its not bad....... i doubt if it was vanilla kubuntu i'd still be using it.


yeah, i'm lazy too these days. no time to mess around too much.


ultimately its not so bad sha, now that i don't poke round my installs much. i just know i'm never downloading Pinguy OS ever again. too much crap and customizations. duplication of app, updating is a major data waste each time.....


BTW i'm thinking of migrating one old PC at work to a distro. PC came with XP and its a pain to allow XP on the network.... always attacked.
problem is i can't think of an appropriate distro.
Guy that uses the PC uses only* firefox and MS word. total noob, even in windows.

challenge is, something that does not deviate too far from windows look (and will not end up with me holding his hand all the time) AND will not be heavy on the download.

FFS even Xubuntu .iso is 915MB thought of mint xfce, its 1.2gb

whatever happened to light distros?

well there's always DSL.But you will need to become a sensei to the guy sha
