I know using Terminal is a big part of Linux, and I don't necessarily mind that personally, but if I were to make a distro myself, I'd sway away from that as much as possible. I'm sure the black box is what scares most people away from Linux. I really just want Linux to become more widely used, especially since Windows 10 came out.

Anyways, now I should be able to write a Linux version of my Modloader app. Another reason I got it to begin with was server hosting, because I do that a lot. Should be fun.

PS: Any other Linux users here?

Ubuntu user here, although I've not used it since 2014. I think I'll install a new distro when I get my new PC this fall. But I doubt it'll be Ubuntu. (I hate the new Unity inteface)

My windows was broken for some time and I didn't have a copy of it since it was pre-installed on my PC, I didn't want to pirate it either, so I was forced to use Ubuntu for some time (I think it was 14.10?). I remember it as a sweet system, although I've ran into a vast amount of issues with it; I couldn't get the sound to work, my graphics card drivers kept failing all the time, thus urging me to reinstall/update them almost twice a week, and many Terminal commands seemed to just be broken. Perhaps it was something with the installation, but apart from those aforementioned problems, I think Linux is a very promising platform I might pick as my primary OS very soon due to Microsoft being assholes.
