![]() ![]() All I ever do on my laptop is play TF2 (Team Fortress 2), browse the Internet and, occasionally, play Minecraft – all of which could now be completed with, supposedly, more speed. The new release of Steam for Linux was a pivotal point in my decision to test it out. My previous browser was Firefox, the recommended browser for Xubuntu, and once it was loaded there was a massive difference in the speed web-pages were loading. I went through the daunting procedure of copying lines of code into the command prompt – sorry, terminal emulator (I’m a bit of a Linux newbie) – and was disappointed by the loading times. My first instinct was to load my browser of choice – Chrome. I felt like Microsoft had kept me in the dark ages of computing as my laptop loaded at a blistering pace. Surprisingly enough, the results were, at first, remarkable. According to my friends, the solution to this was simple – load Xubuntu 12.10, the XFCE variant of Ubuntu. I wanted the fast loading time I was accustomed to, so decided to purchase advanced system care which, unlike my desktop, didn’t seem to make any effect. It was running fine for about a year, but (probably due to a recent computer upgrade) seemed to take a millennia to load and shut-down. So why is Linux so good?
