				 coder673408y@j4cobgarby I believe your thing of Ubuntu 17.10, their non-LTS version. I'm using 16.04 which still uses unity.

 Win10 host,
 Mint Os and Sierra in vms,
 and a bunch of Centos LAMP servers for development that usually run headless.

 Just running mint and 1 or 2 servers is perfectly fine.

				 C0D4644188y@Ayles not really, it took me a bunch of digging around to get it semi working and at full resolution. C0D4644188y@Ayles not really, it took me a bunch of digging around to get it semi working and at full resolution.
