since my XP stopped working and my Kubuntu isn't running as smoothly as it should anymore (and, i just want something different..)
im looking for a new linux distribution.
KDE preferred.
has anyone here tried Mandriva?
any other suggestions perhaps?

I heard Madriva is good aswell :P
oepnsuse?
fedora - good, used it until version 10, afair with version 11 they introduced that user friendly thing that you do not need to compile the kernel module for your graphics driver anymore. did not allow to config the xserver anymore, many freezes with my nvidia card (couldn't even kill the xserv). pulseaudio also was a pain sometimes.
ubuntu: using it right now, also comes with precompiled kernel modules for your graphics card. more stable than fedora, going to stick with it for now - did not like unity though, runs fine with gnome. i do not like kde.
current version comes with gnome3 but you can install kde aswell
I'd recommend debian with gnome though, KDE is beautiful but for a man with a CRT that doesn't matter!
so i guess it doesn’t necessarily have to be kde.
debian you say?
Debian is beautifully easy to install and its probably the most stable build out there currently (not including server installs).
Try it out, just wipe over your xp partition and dualboot!
thanks, I will
Which is really awkward when chicks don't know you're a nerd. I also enjoy letting people use my laptop (REALLY custom light weight debian install) and then get them to input lines into terminal for program-boots. They shit themselves.
you want undetectable hax or not? :~>
