poltr1This past month, I've used Ubuntu Linux almost exclusively. There have only been a few times where I've needed to use Windows or Windows-based apps. One was to download some videos from YouTube.* Another was to rip a CD.
One major disadvantage of Ubuntu Linux is that I've found is that many laptop modems don't work with it. That's because many PCMCIA modems are really winmodems, using the OS to perform some of the functions that a normal modem would use. This would impair my ability to use a Linux laptop or PC in places where I don't have a network available, such as my mother's house.
Other than that, I intend to keep using Ubuntu Linux whenever and wherever I can.
*I know I can download videos using youtube-dl. But it doesn't give the .flv file a nice name. I've been looking for PyTube but the website that it's supposedly on is no longer available. [Updated 22:15] I found a copy of PyTube at http://www.marcosrodriguez.me/pytube/.
