Clearly from what I see, Ubuntu is the most widely used Linux Dist.

But is it truly the best one out there? Or are there others? I feel like having a Linux partition for some reason.



None.

Relatively ancient and inactive

Back when I had a Linux Fetish, I'd chosen the Suse distribution. Never got around to installing it, though. OpenSuse is the free version. Also, Windows > Ubuntu. I know, as someone who uses Ubuntu in school. Annoying as hell. Going with open-source doesn't make you cool. Or me. I was actually too lazy to actually install it :P.

Yeah, Linux really isn't a good main OS, I'd just put it on a partition or something for random times when you feel a need to use it.

I actually tend to use it more often because it doesn't have all the extra stuff trying to run that my Windows side does that I'm too lazy to really turn off. When I need something other than web/word processing, then I boot Windows.

Ubuntu isn't the "best" distribution of Linux by any means, but if you've never used Linux before it's probably a friendly place to start because the superficial use is very similar to Windows. I still run Ubuntu because I really haven't bothered to figure out bash :P

NimoStar -- If its any consolation, the human brain would still mop the floor with this bot if it wasn't limited by the mechanical interface
[05:34 pm]
NimoStar -- Well. The bot didn't come up with any new strategy. It just has superhuman micro. Hard to beat that. I reckon even the simplest dedicated chess engines are unbeatable for humans now.

Oh_Man shouted: NudeRaider did u watch the entire video? it's not one game. it's currently dominating the ladder at number 1 position. do ur research first!
Oops, caught me there, no I haven't. :( I was imagining how the game went. Sorry for that. Watching it now. brb

NudeRaider -- NimoStar
NimoStar shouted: They were not "Unprepared" that was their fifth loss in a row against the bot. The other replays are also available
that doesn't mean he was prepared. When humans come around with new strategies it often takes weeks until the pros figure out how to shut it down. Oh_Man that's certainly a way more convincing argument for micro being "too good to beat".
