Screw the misery of Windows and viruses. Ask me a question!!! So tired of every computer picking up a blasted virus every time I try to get online. Going somewhere and hitting a hotspot or staying in a hotel with WiFi is suicidal for a windows based machine. I don't have 1000 dollars for a good used Macbook. I installed Ubuntu and it runs so much faster and smoother than windows. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1111518Never will go online with the windows based IE crap again. I'm free!!!!! Well maybe not free, but certainly reasonably price. Did you go with 10.04 Long term Service, or 10.10? I went with 10.10, very happy with it. Driver compatibility out-of-the-box is finally picking up steam. |

Ill start using linux for my desktop when all the electronic devices have drivers written for them.......I wont use an operating system that dictates which camera or printer I can buy or how many lines of code I have to come up with to get the damn thing working im all for open source, but manufacturers need to get up with the times before Ill even wink at ubuntu/slackware on my computer again JUST REMEMBER: the most efficient way to troll is to provide an infinitely appealing claim with an infinitely small fact and those facts are the difference between science and sensationalism |

He obviously does not have the competence it would require to even research such things. Forget it. Also, don't forget .wine - I have run every game I play through .wine - no need for any additional software. Just don't expect high graphical quality if your hardware is outdated when you emulate windows based gamed through Linux. Common sense. |

I'll stick with Linux, it's free and incredibly more secure, and infinitively more stable. The gap between windows and linux is growing incredibly small. Since I installed 10.10 I have not had any issues with drivers other then only my wireless card, but it still works on a/b/g mode just not n. every thing else worked out of the box. |

Screw the misery of Windows and viruses. Ask me a question!!! Now lets embrace windows for a moment. What stands out? Well DirectX has come a long way and does deserve some praise. Any video game you play for windows is basically a directX mod. You're not playing Grand Theft Auto. You're really playing instead the DirectX mod known as Grand Theft Auto. All your modern windows video games use the same basic format for all content. Point being? Every aspect of DirectX was designed with the soul intention of making money for the purpose of control. Linux has a powerful answer to this and it's called OpenGL. OpenGL actually came out before directx and was first used for mapping weather data, or perhaps doing military simulations. Point being is that when they need it to run right the first time everyone who knows accepts that OpenGL is inherently feisty like a prowling feline stalking a meal. OK now I'm way off topic but believe me... this isn't over!!!! Grrrr |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 428255Windows has multiple security holes that are regularly exploited by naughty people. Why do you think it is "lame" to use an OS which is more secure? Do you enjoy trying to keep your Windows install free of viruses, trojans, worms, and unauthorised intruders? |
