**After reviewing PinguyOS last month, I tried out several distributions over the period of a few days: Fedora 20, Ultimate Edition, Elementary OS, Zorin OS 8.1, Linux Deepin, and Kubuntu 14.04 (beta). Many years ago, in a galaxy really, really close, I used to run Red Hat Linux (and later Fedora 1 through about 8). Then I joined a resistance with friends Paul Nijjar and Daniel Allen to create WCLP, Working Centre Linux Project (long defunct but still available), a distribution for the computer recycling project we volunteered for. WCLP was based on Debian GNU/Linux. Since that time I’ve tended to favor Debian-flavoured distributions.** | **After reviewing PinguyOS last month, I tried out several distributions over the period of a few days: Fedora 20, Ultimate Edition, Elementary OS, Zorin OS 8.1, Linux Deepin, and Kubuntu 14.04 (beta).

Kubuntu 14.04 surprised me by being more stable than any other previous version I’ve tried (even though I was trying the beta at the time). In the past, stable applications under Kubuntu have been one of my biggest pet peeves - I found applications tended to crash far too much under Kubuntu. It’s been more than 20 days now and I’ve only had 1 or 2 (application) crashes during that time.** | Kubuntu 14.04 surprised me by being more stable than any other previous version I’ve tried (even though I was trying the beta at the time).

I’m still not a huge fan of search-style graphical user interfaces, and the way Kubuntu nests applications seems like it might be difficult for someone with bad arthritis, but I’ve gotten used to it. One graphical change I liked was the work done on Muon software manager; it looks a little more like a software store. It still doesn’t have quite the polish of Ubuntu’s software center, but it’s a little prettier and a tiny bit more functional.** | I’m still not a huge fan of search-style graphical user interfaces, and the way Kubuntu nests applications seems like it might be difficult for someone with bad arthritis, but I’ve gotten used to it.

**I installed Handbrake and MakeMKV almost immediately because they’re applications I use regularly (Handbrake at least, my Blueray collection is about 8 strong). Both worked without issue and neither have crashed since I installed them. I think I mentioned last month loving the speed difference between this AMD A8-5600k and a Core 2 Duo. Ripping the same DVD was a matter of 13 minutes versus 50 on the Core 2 Duo using the same software. Buying new technology makes a huge difference.** | **I installed Handbrake and MakeMKV almost immediately because they’re applications I use regularly (Handbrake at least, my Blueray collection is about 8 strong).

**One of the tasks I needed to do was scan a dozen documents. I found the default scanning program, Skanlite, to be laggy with my HP Scanjet 2200c, so I installed Simple Scan.

+ | **Another job I did over the past month was putting together some video previously imported from our DV camera. The DV file was roughly 45 minutes long. I installed Openshot and Blender, imported the digital video file and created the video complete with Blender-rendered animated titles. Rendering titles in Blender took longer than I would have liked, I really understand why video production staff like working on 8 core Xeon-based systems. But in the end I was able to produce a video for family that had a lot more polish than the raw DV and not 1 crash in the entire process.** | ||
