[Klug-general] xorg woes

[Jo Sharrad]

If you use wine to play LoL then I suggest thinking strongly about moving
to Debian. I decided to move my main PC over to Debian a couple of months
ago, now, I have chosen to go stable only and though I am now very happy
with the choice...none of the errors and crashes I was getting constantly
with Ubuntu. The setup time was a lot longer. I now have wine, steam,
propriety nvidia and a few other non-default apps installed e.g Skype, but
it took a while, and the dependences hell that I had to go though I have
not seen since the early 2000's

On the other hand if you are just looking at Debian unstable you probably
wont get the problems I came across.
