Behodar: I saw on Slashdot today that Fedora 18 is one of the worst releases, which meshes with my experience. I didn't even bother mentioning it on here until now but it was plagued with issues for me; the top of the installer window was off the top of the screen so I couldn't get to some of the options, then after eventually managing to install I was completely unable to copy files from a network share onto the Linux system (Ctrl-C/V, drag and drop, and right-click "copy to > desktop" all just created 0-byte icons in the destination rather than actually copying anything). It seems that I started with the most reliable distro (Debian) and just got worse and worse...
Try Vultr using this link and get us both some credit:
beaverusiv: @mm1352000 may I ask what field you work in?
For me, migrating to Ubuntu at home is becoming less and less of a hurdle the more that I use Ubuntu (and Solaris via ssh) at work. Conversly, I wouldn't want to use Windows at work for the things I do. Linux is just so much better suited, mainly because of the plethora of command line utilities that make my typical tasks significantly more efficient.
quakeguy: At Snap, I've run Linux Mint (Cinnamon) for over a year, with no intention of going back to Windows.
The company doesn't frown on this - Snap has Mac users, Windows users and Linux users, and everything coexists quite well.
It's a very nice OS if you're a network engineer, and want to punt packets using your desktop workstation (having netfilter/iptables and VLAN support on the desktop is just awesome).
I use Thunderbird with Exquilla to talk to Office365, which supports everything except calendar. For that, I use my phone.
I do spend a lot of time in shells and browsers, and participate in DevOps, so the OS suits my workload well.
mercutio:
Is Office365 why Snap's email times are always in GMT time?
For the shell/browser thing, I have found managing LOTS of shells/browsers way easier in Linux than Windows.

They are displaying in NZDT for me, perhaps go in to the webmail settings and set your timezone.
I currently use Fedora17 at my work, connect to an Exchange server with Evolution and the EWS plugin. I have a netbook I have updated to 18 and it has no real issues. I used the fedup utility so skipped the new installer which seems to be the cause of a lot of the complaints. Does everything I need and more and I prefer the workflow/interation in KDE Plasma compared to Windows.
