Ubuntu UDS O Budapest - Mark Shuttleworth interviewed by Amb

[urah2525]

As regards "Unity" - Give me a Gnome, where the Buffalo roam and I will shovel up after them.

[urah2525]

Mark -

get the folks at GNUCash to make it possible to migrate painlessly from QuickBooks,

i.e. Import .qbb files and you will get your 200,000,000 users.

[growingneeds]

I will try to push ubuntu to more of my friends for Mr Shuttleworth in SIngapore!

[atari2600a]

fun fact, 200m is 1/34 of the world population.

[atari2600a]

anyone else notice the poor stereo seperation, horrible compression?

[Linux4UnMe]

Steve Jobs Wannabe :)

[madjunir]

@Linux4UnMe jobs will have to retire soon, so someone has to substitute him and i dont think it will be balmer :D

[ipponsuki]

@Linux4UnMe

He is better then Steve Jobs, he can control himself.

[elvisapresley]

I've been using free software for 14 years, and this is probably the second time I've seen someone display true leadership like this.

Mark Shuttleworth clearly understands that the in-fighting common in the free software world isn't doing the rest of the world any favours. He's a true visionary in his field, and is doing great things.

[atermoon]

Do you people complaining about "mono audio" even know what mono is? Jesus...

[fighterpiolt1992]

the question is whats his strategy for getting 200 million new users why wasnt that asked

[animaulet]

@fighterpiolt1992 Since the linux counter says there's aproximately 121607 linux users out there, i think the only way to reach 200M new users is if canonical pays a free blowjob for each user/installation of ubuntu. With extra if you come from a windows environment.

[fighterpiolt1992]

@animaulet some estimates put linux users around 30 million

but i guess we will never find out

[animaulet]

@fighterpiolt1992 well, i'm sure there's more than linux counter says, since linux counter seems to be a little abandoned... by the way, its not so diferent to calculate, everytime you browse you're sending info about your system, browser etc so somebody could make an approach. Anyway, from 30M to 200M there's a big jump.

[Linux4UnMe]

@fighterpiolt1992

Lmao he's dreaming

[drakonsb]

subs plaese

[jayleesan]

Had issues running Natty. Back @ 10.04 now...

[kdani3]

Subtitles please!

[PenguinRecordings]

wtf bad stereo! BAD BAD stereo thingy going on. GG. please fix that sound problem. Its ruining the video overall quality.

[Tomislav0Ivcic]

Although unity sucks, it has been added to official and 'stable' release... but OK I am using gnome. Btw I hate mono this mono sound...

[aliancemd]

Photoshop and good games on Ubuntu and the millions will come in constantly :)

[8jwong14]

@aliancemd Like CoD, Crysis, World of Warcraft, etc. Also, graphics on Ubuntu will need to be equivalent or better. Also compatibility with more graphics cards especially AMD.

[aliancemd]

@8jwong14 The proprietary graphic drivers are pretty good... All Linux distros(if I'm not wrong) come with the Open-Source graphic drivers by default which are 2-10 times slower and consume more power. Graphics is not that big of a problem on Linux, people just have to install the Proprietary drivers...

[8jwong14]

@aliancemd Even so, I've heard many people have problems with AMD cards.

[aliancemd]

@8jwong14 Yep, the old cards don't work from Ubuntu 8.04 or 8.10.

[enedene1]

@aliancemd

This is absolutely true. I'm using Nvidia propitiatory drivers for years and the work perfectly. As for AMD last couple of releases they are doing a great job too.

[benjamina222]

@aliancemd but AMD's latest graphics driver for AMD/ATI cards which they released so it could be installed on Natty is a huge mistake. Much slower to the point I can't always run flash properly and there are image tearing issues.

[aliancemd]

@benjamina222 Tearing is not a surprise for ATI, I have it on Windows too... As always, AMD ATI makes powerful GPU's but are lacking in the software/drivers compartment and nVidia makes less powerful hardware but are Great in software/drivers.

[FeelItRising]

Mark knows what he is talking about.....keep up the good work Mark!

[MrSinghsharan]

mmmm!!! marky looks HOT....;)

[carignanboy]

Mono audio :( hurts my ears.

[locanix]
