After several serious attempts at using Linux, I can honestly say that
the word is synonymous with garbage.

8. Try to restore my computer's image of Windows 8.1 OS install,

when I purchased the machine. It fails as well.
9. Out of desperate, try to restore an image of the whole computer

I was careful to put on a separate drive.
10. Partitions are suddenly out of whack even though the RAID was

two M.2 SSD drives totaling 240GB. Everything works but EaseUS is
used
to correct the partitions and bring everything back to normal.

Windows 10? No wonder you had problems.

With Windows 8.1 and 10, my computer boots to the desktop in about 8
seconds and is completely ready for action after about 20. In Linux,
one
whole minute and the icons in KDE still hadn't appeared. Not only
that
but if my display turned off in Linux (kernel 4.4 btw), it froze the
computer. That is definitely not what I would consider to be quality.

Try installing Linux with
Windows 10 nowhere near the machine.

Linux is like a Chrysler car; if it is anywhere near something
better,
it breaks down and leaves you stranded on the highway.

And when you do, install Linux Mint
Mate and then get back to us with your stereotypes, biases and
ignorance.

The typical answer of a Linux loser: you chose the wrong one of our
hundreds of distributions. #371 is the right one.

BTW, Windows 10 is more of a store than an operating system. Be
prepared
to pay rent soon.

We'll see. If that happens, I'd still rather pay whatever Microsoft
asks.


Another Windows loser that's lost his ability to think logically.

I'm not sure about that:

User tries Linux then user discovers that it's garbage so he returns to
Windows.

Nope, the logic is perfect.



I don't have a problem with either one of them. What am I doing wrong?

You're not _doing_ anything wrong but you _are_ delusional.



Really? What's the delusion, hot shot? For me both Windows and Linux
work just fine and when Windows 7 is no longer supported, I will bid
Windows adieu.

I promise you that every inhabitant of our world will shed a single tear
at the loss.

Pointing out that they are dangerous and that their entire religion is
based on killing anyone non-Muslim makes me educated, not a bigot. You
would be an idiot to believe that it is "about peace" as its members
rape non-Muslim women and girls as well as their own across Europe,
behead their own for listening to Western music and behead Christians
simply for existing.

So far you've been batting 100%.

Migrants are the same as operating systems? Where did the **** did that
come from?

Most god based religions are violent. Christianity's history is very
similar to the Taliban/ISIS as is most of the current GOP congress
persons. KKK, John Birch, etc.

Killer cops kill more civilians than all the terrorists combined that
have killed folks in the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Europe.
So stick that in your ****ing bigoted and UNEDUCATED pipe.

I installed Linux two days ago... it ignored my RAID and once
installed, froze after going to sleep and prevented Steam from working
at all after an update. To say the least, mediocre software doesn't
deserve to be run in general.
[snip]

And as for running a RAID, did you do any reading
on the topic first ? If I had a RAID, I wouldn't
just "whap in a copy of Linux" and expect a miracle.
Usually some pre-install reading is in order,
even with other OSes, to achieve the best outcome.
For example, some RAID packages support "migration",
you can install the OS on a single disk, then
"migrate" to a RAID 0/1/5 config, and the RAID
rebuilds while you work. But for that to happen,
first you'd have to realize the brand of RAID
supports migration, and you learn that by reading.
I can think of at least two RAID implementations,
where extra effort was put into software RAID
migration for the array.

Good points but I don't respect an operating system which, in 2016,
still doesn't recognize what the Hell a RAID is. It's a very old
technology so it's surprising that some distributions would ignore it
entirely.

I don't know about your system, but my motherboard has hardware
RAID built-in -- not that I use it, and the last two installs of Linux I
did (in virtual machines no less), during the partitioning phase, had
options for RAID. Maybe you missed it. Even installs not in VM
recognized that RAID was available and offered the option. Maybe, you
really don't have RAID or it's a software one.

The RAID was set up in the BIOS. It is clearly not a software one.
Perhaps other distributions had options for RAID, however Sabayon did not.

Linux, in general, doesn't depend on the BIOS like Windows does for
hardware info. It determines it itself. You have to tell the installer
what you want it to do.

The RAID option was offered with these Linux distros recently: Fedora,
Debian, Mint; and in the past, CentOS and Scientific Linux. As far as I
can remember. Perhaps, downloading and checking the Installation docs
of the distro you're trying . . . .
