let
me tell you this...
after
1 week of struggle, install and uninstall, update, upgrade and so
on...
phew...
finally
I've settled on xubuntu...
the
funny thing is, both are ubuntu related,
yet,
linuxmint's pretty buggy for my liking, first, the ibus didn't work,
no matter what, it just ain't working well...
the
candidates won't show up, the more I tried?? cool, in the end, it
didn't even tickle, ie. Even though it's ibus-enabled, yet, it's not
inputing anything of ibus-related characters... (damn you!)
I
tried with linuxmint mate, linuxmint xfce, cos, xubuntu 13.10 worked
fine on one of my very old netbook, ie. HP mini 1000... works like
breeze...
so,
I thought, since I've been using mint for a while, why not I just
stick to it right?
Therefore,
I gave linuxmint xfce a try...
in
fac, in fact, in fact, I love the interface, it's much better than
mate...
I
love the pre-packed apps that come together, but then, just like any
linuxmint petra versions, the wireless driver ain't working...
and
that, I've to install later...
and
again, the ibus, JUST AIN'T WORKING!
And
finally, I decided to give up...
give
up on linuxmint, which I am so familiar with, and like it...
particularly,
I like their file manager,
so,
I put on xubuntu, bingo!! the wireless has no problem, and the ibus,
though, I can't get the “preference” for pinyin to work, but the
by-default configuration is fine with me, I mean, I just want to have
10 candidates shown up, rather than the default 5... but I'm fine
with it, I can live with it...
now...
I'll be on xubuntu for a while...
a
while... till linuxmint/ibus fix each other...
or,
till... indefinitely...
