Linux

Linux is good, but this video sucks

[xyzoneon]

linux and open source PR in general really need to drop the "free" tagline. People aren't getting what it means and ms fanbois keep spouting stuff about the price tag.

It's just a bizarre quirk with the English language which has no common, distinct words between "no charge" and "freedom driven". The main point of open source is that it's freedom-driven. The no-charge thing is just a secondary consequence and was never the reason for the creation of open source.

[Videotubelord]

@xyzoneon Ordinary users don't care about "freedom driven". People should know that its free (it is free, no one forces you to buy non free one), no virus, fast, cool looking...

[xyzoneon]

@Videotubelord say what?

[duduiondo]

Viva o Linux! \o/

[jessemaurais]

61 people haven't figured out that the best software is free.

[llllloolllll]

hahahahaha

Linux...because Penguins kick ass.

[thecrazyguy129]

I choose Linux because the mascot is a penguin.

Windows has a waved window and Mac has a bitten apple with a giant glossy X behind it.

Was this made in Blender?

I agree with merkur32123 - as long as OS X only works on Macs, there's hardly ever going to be any problems with drivers etc. So for me, Mac/OS X is basically a "I can be sure it works" system.

But still, I prefer GNU, since there I can do whatever I want and customize it the way that fits my needs.

[Bob0p]

@psaykat Um you do realize drivers are used for compatibility for devices and hard ware to be used, so the fact that it can only use hardware that the os supports and not gain additional drivers is not a good thing at all. It is infact a bigger problem, lack of support and drivers. And since when has drivers ever been a problem? they are a solution to a problem, if they do not work you are still left with the os not being able to use the hardware.

[merkur32123]

I'm a linux guy, I Really hate Windows!, But Mac is Not our enemy at all. Besides, All TRUE Mac and Linux users want the same thing: TO DESTROY WINDOWS!!!!

[shady4tv]

@merkur32123 Apple makes there money by building a locked down OS that only works on their hardware the only open part of OS X is the BSD part, Microsoft is at least a little more flexible and allows there OS to run on any hardware, that DOES NOT change the fact that Windows is still $200, close, not stable or secure at all, its weird in the computer world the less you pay the better you get :)

[merkur32123]

@shady4tv Can you install Windows on a PowerMac? Sun SPARC computer? DEC Alpha Computers? S+core computers? (That's not all) NO!

[shady4tv]

@merkur32123 can you install Mac OS Legally W/O Cracking it on anything besides a Mac? NOPE i didnt think so

[merkur32123]

@shady4tv I am not telling that you can install MacOS on a Non-Apple comp, i am telling that you can't install Windows on a non-i386 or non-amd64 comp. This points at what you said 'Microsoft is at least a little more flexible and allows there OS to run on any hardware'. BTW there are plenty reasons why to own a mac! For example: Being able to use FinalCut, Playing Portal and FT2, etc.

[shady4tv]

@merkur32123 OKAY yes not ANY hardware but certainly more than apple supports plus there are plenty of reasons to own a Windows, almost all the applications that you can get on a mac you can get on windows (thats why windows will always own the desktop market), if you don't like being locked down by software why would you like being locked down by hardware?

[merkur32123]

@shady4tv That's why i use Debian Testing Linux on my main computer. I also have a MacBook. And you can't get FinalCut on Windows! And that you can't install MacOS on other computer is good i think, so it can't have any contability issues with it's own hardware.

[shady4tv]

@merkur32123 still the enemy is closed software in general not just Microsoft and Apples Mac OS is a classic example of this, thus Apple is proprietary enemy

[DynamicLinkLibrarian]

@merkur32123 why?

[pkemrin]

30 people suck at computering.

[Nothing3ls3t0s33]

No doubt about Linux, but this is commercial is VERY weak

[elfirebrand]

the trolls and the people can speak shit, because in the supercomputers' field Gnu/Linux is the winner!!!

[jesse8258]

linux is a bus down bitch.. free OPEN and FLEXIBLE lol

[virtual21ghost]

awesome this is truth

[ganeshtara1]

i love linux, its the future os and LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

[erkolos]

Was that the Windows TADA sound?

[ProManUnitedFan]

Windows: Commercial. Insecure. Higly over rated *buzzzzzzzzzzzz*

Mac: Expensive. Loves itself. No features. *buzzzzzzzzzzzz*

Linux: Free. Opensource. Fully functional. Stable. Secure *ding*

Thumbs up if you love Linux

[TheRanblingjohnny]

All three forgot to formulate their answer like a question! lolll Still nice Linux ad!

[ericngo77]

windows rox linux too but windows beter

[ubucraft]

Si vous, ou utilisez Ubuntu 10.04, c'est très bien!

[RamiroR]

@murderslastcrow

I agree with you , Apple is actually great, and even helps community with things like Webkit.

[elarquer0]

If you like programming, Linux is for you

If you HATE programing, take OS X or Win7...

[Lorthorioz]

@elarquer0 Isn't true!! fake totally!!! They are sooooo many linux; one to each kind of likes. There are a easy to use too(Linuxmint, Mandriva, Opensuse, PCLinuxOS, Knoppix)... but if you don't like the new you are lost; no one born knowing, all need of practice to get the wisdom!!!!

[MarcianitoRajoy]

Free, Open, Flexible, Robust, Secure, Educational,...

[locodark14]

WTF?

[Uvthenfuv]

GNU/Linux user here.

The OS is good.

The video was shit, although used mostly reasonable arguments.

@leonelalvaradojr90

Agreed. Although I'd prefer a better video with more information.

[lin545]

@Uvthenfuv Another linux user here. The os is good and video is good. Its easy to explain if you think about windows people. They are not driven by intelligence or own thinking, but for psycho-commercials and abc-like ads. Hence this ad is awesome, puts everything easily together as abc. Now I know this isnt informative for somebody like you and me, but hey, do we need linux ads at all? :)

[birdboy435]

Free , Open, Flexible i love it!

[OSGUIShow]

awesome video

[ctult]

I did not know that the Linux mascot was female.

[darthirakli]

On OS X, it should say "Fashionable. Trendy. Cool. Commercial. Closed."

[STOPTHEEU]

@darthirakli And far to over priced?

[geraldmork]

@darthirakli no , on osx, it should to say "fashionable, trendy, cool, super-comercial, half-closed"

[ProManUnitedFan]

@geraldmork No, it should say:

"Loves itself. No features. Expensive"

[benjabean1]

@darthirakli I like it the way it is. It shows that Apple has a big ego.

[leonelalvaradojr90]

This is cool. PLAY THIS ON TV. PEOPLE NEED TO BE EDUCATED ABOUT THEIR OPTIONS!!! WHEN IT COMES TO BUYING A COMPUTER!!!

[roB3rnd]

@leonelalvaradojr90

Yeah, your right, people need to learn about caps-lock.

[benjabean1]

@leonelalvaradojr90 Do you have the money to pay for it?

[morfeas333]

@leonelalvaradojr90 I agree! I dont want to buy (again) Windows in my laptop, especially when I wanted my laptop only with Linux. :(

[UltimatePisman]

My favourite Linux Ad so far.
