  @cryptonaut @IvanB yeah, im probably just being too lazy to figure out how to stop it. I also only switch over and use windows like maybe a couple times at most a month, so there always seems to be updates waiting for me.

  I know the feeling. I feel retarded when I have to jump on an OSX machine and simple commands don't work. Example: On just about any browser, linux or windows Shift+F5 = reload, ignoring cache. On a mac, it's command+shift+R.

  Things are just a little different, but it takes time to learn them.

  Linux and OSX. I used Windows for years but got sick of its hostility to the command line. Some time later powershell came out, but I hear it is not without problems and was not enough to entice me back.

  More CLI wallets plz

  @kerneloops I'm glad to see our community not descending to an OS-war, how about Nvidia vs AMD, Vi vs Emacs... No?

  @puck2 As it was mentioned earlier, I wouldn't change the whole operating system based on one type application/software. If you have enough RAM (8GB?) and a decent CPU, I'd go with a Windows client on VirtualBox, just for the cryptoclients/wallets, and keep your Lubuntu. That way, any issue you might come across with Windows, should be sandboxed within the virtual machine and not affect your Lubuntu host in any way.

  Sounds like the best way to go to me. I personally have my computer dualbooted windows8/Ubuntu14.04 I would have done just like kernelloops mentioned, but my computer can't handle running a virtual machine.
