This is just to write my last three hours with Ubuntu 19.04 and its software.
It has its own featured set of software and nothing else.
Downloading Ubuntu was easy with torrent.
Installing was painful.
I tried a live session and tried Gparted (mind you I can visualize my partition table even in my dream) to pick a root and home partitions.
It froze.
Simply because it used so much RAM resources to SHOW off its versatility BUT not its functionality.
Then I went for the ultimate KILL treatment.
Pressed the switch off button and restarted Ubuntu and it took ages to boot up again.
Installed it which was relatively fast (not to my liking anyway with lot of missing first boot up packages) and I could not use an alternate person to use my computer without the root permission.
Mind its cage was not enough to fill all the characters of my root password.
It does (who will use the root password for daily word) not let me have a user password.
Updating software and removing boot-up software took so much time I switched the kettle for a cuppa.
Then getting a software update to install Abiword my favorite writing tool took ages.
So I decided to upgrade my anger here.
Mind you this is installed in an old USB 2 external drive (to show a newbie, if asked) not in my alternate external hard drive.
It is better to use ElementaryOS or Peppermint or PinguyOs for productivity.
Mind YOU all are Ubuntu based (Debian based to begin with) but much better user friendly.
How can I recommend Ubuntu to anybody?
I only use Debian now with few packages missing (Abiword, UnetBootIn, Dilo web browser, Tor, very tiny utilities but super-fast) in a store of over 66,000 packages, I will never use in my life time.
Thank you Debian.
No thanks Ubuntu.
I never used Ubuntu for productivity work anyway!
