<p>Hi there. </p>
<p>Was just reading email bellow about going cold turkey with Linux on the Desktop and I was wondering what everyone experience is.</p>
<p>I tried a few distributions in the 'live' modality (no install): Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Elementary, Manjaro, Mint & Artegos.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>In most I found issues (screen suddenly froze, mouse did not respond).</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Fedora and Debian seemed to be the more stable ones.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
Any suggestions? Experiences?

<div>Thanks<br>

<div dir="ltr">Anybody out there know of a good client for uploading to a Wordpress blog? I still have to maintain a couple of blogs and "back in the day" when I had a Windows machine I uploaded using OpenWriter, a fork of MS's Live Writer. But now that I've
gone cold-turkey to Linux I'm in the market for a similar tool that works in Ubuntu.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I tried Blogilo last night but found it lacking (it couldn't handle photos at all). It did have some nice features, though, but it's just not "there" yet.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Essentially the client sends me a .doc with all the new blog content, I copy it subject by subject to the blog client software then upload it. Piece of cake. But Blogilo choked on any article with a photo in it. It handled the text-only articles fine.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Anyone out there have a favourite to recommend?</div>
