Just read a post at arctehnica (Ubuntu 14.04 review: Missing the boat on big changes)<\/a> reviewing Ubuntu 14.04.<\/p>\n

A good a review but it made me think about what I really want my OS to be when it get updated and what made me make the big step to Linux and KDE.<\/p>\n

This first think that made me change OS was Adobe changing there license policy.
\nAfter years of saving and a lucky email from amazon I decided to bye Photoshop.
\nI was happy but didn’t really needed Photoshop but I had some pictures over time that need Photoshop and I was in the upgrade “path”. Getting a new version of Photoshop would be cheaper. Shortly after Adobe change is license policy so to get Photoshop I have to pay a monthly fee. That made me so mad that I decided never to use Adobe software again.<\/p>\n

This also made me think about my OS. Was I happy with my OS?
\nNot really, It worked but missed all the good thing from my time working with Sun OS\/Solaris.
\nYes, I had Cygwin but so many things was not functioning well.<\/p>\n

And then Microsoft came out with Windows 8 and I had to take a short look at it and I haded it. I would NEVER pay money to for that OS.<\/p>\n

So I decided to go for Linux\/GNU and tried Ubuntu first. But the Desktop was simply to much of a change and I didn’t like the look and feel of it.<\/p>\n

In the end I found KDE was just what I wanted and I started out with Kubuntu 13.04.
\nSoon I could upgrade to 13.10 and I was so excited. What would be all the new stuff?<\/p>\n

To my surprise not much was changed and everything was as before. I was a bit disappointed but I was a “new” user to Linux\/GNU so that was all right.<\/p>\n

Now at the latest upgrade (14.04) the chill was a little more exciting when installing the upgrade. I have made lots of small changes and enhancement to the standard installation.<\/p>\n

Would everything work? or would I have hours to spend fiddling problems?<\/p>\n

To my surprise, No, everything worked and even tings I couldn’t get to work in 13.10 now worked in 14.04.<\/p>\n

So I’m happy with the small changes and improvement. I even got a better working system now.<\/p>\n

I have always felt the OS\/Desktop was a simple platform where I use my advanced applications. It must be rock solid and not tip over when a application screw up.<\/p>\n

So to the Arc post I can only say: Thank you Ubuntu and KDE for not introducing many new features and by then many new bugs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
