unless you are running a server or doing some developer shit there is no point to using linux. its just a huge compromise for the sake of making some statement about freedoms.

I messed with it a few years ago when I had a linux phase but its got noticeably less features. LMMS and FLS look like DAWs the same way VLC and MPC both look like media players.

#1. Uninstall crap I don't use, eg. RhythmBox, Transmission, Pidgin, etc.

#4. Install proprietary graphics drivers when applicable (eg. AMD Catalyst)
#5. Rice, eg. customize the compiz config, set up protocol handling for magnet links from the browser, etc.

Vuze has a much richer feature set. It's more like removing your Fischer-Price tricycle and installing an F-16 fighter jet.

You're probably not aware of this, but Linux version of Vuze doesn't come bundled with crapware like the Windows version, and you can select the older-style UI.

of course I have multiple drives, so only the OS drive needs any real work.
In the case of Windows it's setting the registry paths for other programs not on C:\
In the case of linux it's a shitshow of compatibility issues.

I'm heavily debating on going full linux because my CPU is more than enough to run Wangblows in a VM with practically no loss,
But also I am debating on simply having a second computer for that.
