The discussion on self-driving cars reminds me of the fact that Linux crashes too :Gasp!:

For all you Linux Lovers/Windows Haters out there, Fess up! How many times has your almighty Linux box crashed on you?  

I run OpenSuse, by the way  

I clicked on this thinking it was about the deep human tragedy everyone knows and understands when someone has carelessly allowed the pantry to run out of popcorn.

I can crash that...

Justin,

You use a proprietary fork of open Android as modified (and restricted) by Amazon.   This is Linux, so you can answer the poll.

The stuff is intended to KEEP you on Amazon and show you stuff to buy from Amazon.  It does a good job of that.

It is always behind the times as far as being current goes, but since you value "it just works 100% of the time" more than anything else this is likely a good thing for you.

Fact, it does anything/everything you want or need.    Fire tablets are like Chromebooks, the folks who use them love them and wouldn't change if you wanted them to.


=======================================


Do you talk in your posts or do you type them out?

I still have and use one of the first Motorola Xoom's. It has been an extremely dependable machine. It has crashed a few time in 4 years but not many. I've  never lost any data. Good machine in my estimation.

Ubuntu was my first Linux distro, If I remember correctly. Still have 12.04 on here, just never use it. It's probably so out of date, it would take an eon just to update it. I wonder how many months, or years it's been since I cranked it up. Don't remember how many times I crashed Ubuntu. Might have done it, though. Don't remember for certain, but I seem to remember doing it.

I run KDE myself, and, compared to Gnome and Unity, I think I prefer it, to some degree. It's configurable. Gnome-- the newer one (3.x, I think)-- is kinda weird, and Unity is okay.... , but neither are configurable. Didn't really give gnome 3 much of a chance. Gnome 2 is alright . I guess that is what Mint has, or had. Never tried Mint. I've done Ubuntu, Peppermint (only permanently on my Pentium 4), and OpenSuse. Only those 2 distros long term. I've played around with live cd's/flash drives of Xubuntu, Lubuntu, and Mageia. I've tried Xfce on Suse too. Haven't played with any of that stuff in a long time. I just run OpenSuse, and, for now, it works great.

The great thing about KDE is the configurability (besides the Windows-esqeness and the eye candy). I have a widget that can monitor the levels and/or activity of the CPU, Ram, Swap, Harddrive, and network, as well as CPU temperature (5 different readings at that! ).

HUH?

How do I find out? This one is from 2014.
