I actually dual boot into a distro called lxle sometimes and it has a preconfigure lxde that is similar to unity in some respects but doesn't have all the online search in d... |

| 2009 hp laptop I got before I went to college. It is now running lubuntu even though I could run something heavier. It has a core 2 duo t6500 which unfortanetly doesn't have vt-x so running virtual machines is slow. Also I don't like the broadcom wifi if using linux. |

| Yes linux mint is not malware. I actually run lubuntu on a pc 4 gb ram primarily and also have it on my old pentium 4 desktop with 512 mb of ram. I actually do some testing for lubuntu and provide support. I have been using linux only for a year I wish I switched sooner. |

| I am not too sure lubuntu would work on it which is what may disappoint me as I prefer lxde desktop environment. Also expensive. |

| I actually think this is bad for society as a whole. I tend to end up thinking about David Ricardo's idea of comparative advantage with differences and work needing to get done have people specailise in what they give up the least total production and the economy becomes more efficient. Like having ... |

I got invited back for a second interview and I relaxed by listening to music for a little bit before my job interview and was able to speak more easily. I think I need to find a way to focus my thoughts and reduce stress while waiting for the int... |

In the nightmarish position I described, I was expected to be working software QA morning to night, and fit customer service tickets into my nonexistent breaks, or answer them at home when my contract explicitly said I wouldn't be compensated.
