This is something I've been wondering about....
Accessible, out of the box Linux distros. I got frustrated with Win 10 and if I can find a Linux disttro that works for me I'll be more than happy to make the switch over.
So, I know about VInux and the Sonar GNU one, I got an image of both and VMWare.....and this is where my problems start.
1. Sonar will not, regardless of what I do, boot up in a VMWare machine at all so I can't test it out regardless, it locks up VMWare and I have to reset my actual machine. Or wait, literally 20 minutes for it to load the CD ISO and VMWare to detect anything.
2. Vinux on the other and boots up fine, but will not install. As in, I can either do the live CD at which point everything is a snail's pace, or.....reaalllllllllllly slow and ives GTK errors when loading the try Ubuntu live CD option (and yes I got the latest Vinux download off their site). If I do install, I can set it to install and go through the screens, but...the guides I've read have said I get to picking a username and a password, then....nothing, no continue button and I hear the install say 100%, which means I SHOULD be done with it, ut VMWare being VMWare...it's not working completely right.
So, any other accessible Linux distros out there out of the box that come with stuff enabled by default, I love the list of stuff that comes with Vinux by default frankly, (Yes, I know it's Ubuntu), and the idea behind Sonar is nice but....are there any other accessible Linux versions out there?
Also, should I try booting up both ISO images in Virtualbox too or not, or is there a preconfigured Vinux HD image I can get floating around to test it out, I don't want to install it on my actual laptop then run into the same issue of not being able to finish installing and effectively brick my laptop, it's one thing to wrck a VM, but my laptop....nope. (I could just put it on a partition which is what I'm thinking about doing but dual booting scares me...and I may just move over to Vinux full time)~
Lastly. Is the slow reaction in VMWare the result of, well, VMWare being a resource hog?
Also on Linux natively
