So for the last week or so, I have been diving headlong into a new distribution to me. Its called Manjaro, its based on the rolling Arch distribution. By nature I tend to be a perfectionist so every detail gets looked into, extensive testing, installing crap I don't need just to be sure it works before it's removed again and so forth.
You put yourself into this effort fully, it consumes you while its going on. Then it happens, you realize there is basically nothing left to do. The work is done, you have built the perfect OS (for you). Then there is this complete feeling of emptiness, where do you go with it now, what do you do with it. Play a game? Nah, you can't really get into it. Look for new software? Nah you have been keeping up to date and are already using what you want. Intentionally break things just to fix them again? Yes... yes, I think this will be done... here we go again!

Im actually not joking either. I literally started breaking things to see how the OS would react. Its really interesting how well this Arch based Distro is handling it. I like it a lot.

I've been using mint, and I absolutely love it. with the nvidia driver that works with my old gtx 760 2g twin fan job (340.something or other) it basically surfs the web and streams video perfectly right out of the box. Every game seems to have it's own set of needs. I'm running both Linux Mint and Win7U for things that don't work to easily in Linux Mint.  |

I've been using LinuxMint on my laptop for about a year now. Stable as a freaking rock.
