RE: Today's Status: Ubuntu Crashes, Frustration, Acceptance, and Success!
Nice PC build! I cheaped out on my build, spent $400 for all the parts new. Quad core AMD processor, 8gb ddr3 ram, 1tb HDD, and a GTX 750. My second build was done even cheaper and runs just a well, a used Dell Optiplex and shoved a GTX 1030, for a total of $200.
I imagine your PC wasn't cheap. Do you do heavy programming or gaming on it? Just curious :)
I love using Wine, it seems to run anything Windows related. Best of luck to you and Ubuntu!
My work machine has to do video editing, Adobe suite, and I 3d stuff, otherwise I could get away with just a browser and Slack ;)
Biggest expense though was the graphics card (though I could have saved by being patient and shopping around).
My other machine has to run Windows for Oculus, not because I am a gamer but again for the 3D stuff. Of course I did get drawn into the games now :P
I've got macos running under VirtualBox so I need to write that all up :)
