I never thought I'd dump openSuse to go back to Ubuntu, but fate has really slapped me on the face once again.

I heard nothing but good things about openSuse 10.3, so I decided to upgrade from 10.2. It was supposed to be much faster - it was.

But there was a major problem... For the life of me, I couldn't get the nvidia driver installed, so it felt useless. I even tried compiling from source and sadly I couldn't rebuild the kernel module because openSuse comes with a weird variation of the kernel, which didn't match the kernel source I had...

grrrr... what a nightmare. After a day of saying "f- this crap", I tried Fedora 8 to see how that come along. Surprise surprise, it's still as buggy as Windows. So, I went to Ubuntu, after virtually swearing I was through with ubuntu/kubuntu.

I gotta say, I am glad I went back. I am now running Ubuntu gutsy 7.10 and I'm loving it. Not only did nvidia install almost on its own, everything else has worked perfectly. I even got compiz running again and it is more stable than ever.

All you windows users out there - you have no idea how much better linux is. :D

I hope to have my Mass Effect review finished by the end of the day. :D
