5 Things I Would Miss in Linux Mint
,----[ Quote ]
| So after my last post, I figured it would be interesting to ask myself, “what
| would I miss in Linux Mint?” if I were to go back to Windows Vista today. I
| came up with 5 nontrivial things.
|
| [...]
|
| Here’s my list:
|
| 1. Expose / Windows Picker. Shows me all my open windows with a quick
| push of a button. It’s like neatly laying out all my notes and paperwork
| on my desk in a nanosecond. Very useful when I feel like I’ve got too
| many things going on. I loved it on OS X, and I love it on Mint.
| 2. Multiple desktops, and I have four. It’s like having four separate
| tables to throw all my stuff on. So I can put all my project A stuff
| here, project B stuff there, and all my personal notes and emails over
| there. Wonderful! I’ve seen a co-worker use a virtual desktop on Windows,
| but it wouldn’t be a fair comparison because I believe he had to get an
| additional application to get that working.

Linux 2.6.30's best five features
,----[ Quote ]
| 1. Fast boot. Older versions of Linux spend a lot of time scanning for hard
| drives and other storage devices and then partitions on each of them. This
| eats up a lot of milliseconds because it looks for them one at a time. With
| the 2.6.30 boot-up, however, instead of waiting for this to get done the rest
| of the kernel continues to boot-up. At the same time, the storage devices are
| being checked in parallel, two or more at a time, to further improve the
| system's boot speed.
|
| There are other efforts afoot to speed up Linux's boot times. The upshot of
| all this work will be to keep Linux the fastest booting operating system well
| into the future.
