Ideal distro for windows compatibility and clean screen?
by infinice from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5J4KS)
Hi-
This is my first thread so i apologize for any procedural goofs...
I'm 2 things: very weary of windows, and very distractable (so i need simple and i need unclutteredness).
I don't mind work so i'm not demanding a hand-holding windoze clone, just to minimize migration hassles, and to run those W7 apps that i can't find adequate Linux substitutes for (e.g. Irfanview, ClutterCloak, CursorFX etc.), in a stripped-to-bone interface.
I need to know if it's trulyrealistic to expect to run most W7 apps smoothly, because (sorry), i suspect it's still not.
Which distro, if any, would be best for me?
Life is short, i don't want spend any more time fighting computer hassles than absolutely vital.
Thanks for your time!
