Why I hate/love Ubuntu

A while ago I got my Dell XPS12, which have been my linux box for about a year now (too much of a gamer to use my desktop to Linux). Since I have gotten, I went with the comfortable route and installed Ubuntu, mainly because with no CD Rom, Ubuntu was the easiest one to create a Live USB with. Since then I have a USB DVD Rom, which I can boot from, and almost every time I use Ubuntu I think it is time to make a jump.

Getting ready to reinstall Windows 7

I recently discovered I had some issues on my Windows box, which is currently my most used box. For the most part there are small issues, like a software crash here and there. But I recently got an undefined Windows message (“Preparing security options”) and I tried to research it, and my results were undefined. That, combined with Chrome coming out in 64 bits (meaning I could drop 32 bit Java completely), I decided it was time, after more than 2 years of not reformatting my box at all (which is a personal best for me, I usually end up having to do this once per year).
