Jordan: Linux Disaster

“I did a silly thing and decided to switch to Linux today. My laptop is no longer functional, it talks in strange tongues now and will not do anything. I will be back when my life is a little less ruined,” writes TololyJ, from Jordan.

    Why you’re calling it Linux Diaster? *ROAAAAR*

    With the right preparation (as little as choosing the right distribution of Linux) installation should be almost as easy as getting Linux pre-installed. That said, Laptops are sometimes troublesome. It all depends on the make and model. It helps to know ahead of time if you need to take special measures for the wi-fi. Five minutes on Google will tell you that. Don’t give up. You’ll never look back.
