After a year of pure Windows I decided that it's time to return to linux. In time of decision there was Gentoo linux installed on my laptop, but it was very messy and I want to try something new.
First step to choose good distro. I want something lightweight and simple enough for me. And first in the list of distros was Ubuntu. I have tried this distro previously, and wasn't satisfied with it, but I think may be they do something with all small problems in it. So I installed ubuntu (for x86_64 with Unity): it was really simple and first impression was "Whau!". But after short time I have noticed that simple task like browsing internet sometimes made my system freeze (even mouse pointer) for about half a minute. It's annoying and that not normal behavior for modern operating system. Well it's sad but seems that nothing changed in global with ubuntu.
Next is Arch Linux. Installation of basic system is fast and simple. Then some difficulties with setting up wi-fi(I have broadcom), but arch wiki and man pages of pacman helps me with these. For windows manager I wanted to try also something new(previously KDE and OpenBox) and decided to choose Awesome.
I finished installing Awesome(e.g. base system with GUI) approx. on 30 december 2011
By now I want to stay on it.
