  • can you think?

    write a program, based on linux, and be famous.

    my sentence for all people who read this comment :)

    greeting from Hun's home. /Hungary/

  • I've being trying to use a dark theme from Equinox Evolution Midnight (or Dusk) but didn't like that Firefox input field (like here on YouTube) ends up being dark with dark text. I don't have to tell you guys that this is bad. How do you fix this? Chrome shows it nicely but I mostly use Firefox.

  • sucks not knowing anything about linux :/ what the crap is a gz file?? all i know is windws!!! i cant even find anything in the c drive. like on windows find user. everything is shortend i dont know what it is!

  • @capj4zombieglitcher man ignore the gz files... the windows equivalent would be a compressed zip of all the source code files, there pretty much for developers. Even though i have installed from a .gz once or twice i want my computer just to work so i stick to deb files and ppa's

  • Only if Compiz was on GNOME 3.2 it would've been sooooooooooo good

  • I'm still patiently waiting for the day Compiz can manage minimized windows. I don't mind if the preview is outdated, it's just a pain having to implement another kind of task management when it would be so elegant to manage everything through App Switcher and Scale

  • excuse my ignorance - This software also works on Windows, or there will be something similar to this for windows 7?

  • @Astaroth7Noches Nope. Not even on windows 8. Its Linux only. We've got the best of all.

  • dude thats sick where do i get tht??!?! and is it for mac?

  • @Ali2475 No it's only for the Linux 700 distribution OSes like Linux Mint .

  • I am planning on buying an Acer Preadator G3610 an it has Intel Core i7-2600, 12GB DDR3, 1TB HD, Radeon 6850 1GB, DVD±RW, Win7HP64. But it only has a 500w psu. Do you think i can use that psu, or should buy a new one. Maybe like a Corsair AX 850W PSU. I want to be able to play today's games on max settings :)

  • @DeShaadman Download Ubuntu 11.04, burn it to a disk, and boot from the disk. Select the "Try Ubuntu" option and you will be able to see that it runs way better than Windows 7, is customizable, and provides a software center for easy installation of free, open source, and paid software.

  • 2007 vid and still beats the sh1t out of all Windows.

  • Comment removed

  • YES, it really IS that good! But remember, Linux is the OS. X is the GUI app. You don't see either of these directly. The pretty shiny thing you're looking at is a Window Manager. So the short answer to your question is, YES, Linux is. The long answer, (for which there's no room here) is that you can do so much with Linux it's not even funny, but it helps to know what you're doing. It's free, so DL it, and take it for a test drive. It helps to know a Linux-guru though, find one if you can!

  • @HalluxSinister You are correct. Many mistakes what softwares are responsible of what jobs.

    Like in this video (as every other) there is no OS visible anyway. In this it is seen Compiz-Fusion window manager, Applications (GUI's of themselfs) and GNOME (Nautilus as desktop shell) panel and AWN and so on.

    OS -> System programs/libraries -> Windowing system -> Graphical Desktop (incl.Shell)-> Applications

    or

    OS -> System programs/libraries -> Shell -> Programs

    Users never sees operating system.

  • is it possible to use Linux Eye-candy in Virtual Machine on Window XP (1GB RAM) 1.6 GHz. ??? im new to Ubuntu and getting use to it but Eye-candy seems very awesome....any kind of help will be greatly appreciated.

  • @Ideel000 Yes. I'm currently using Compiz and all of its features in a 1.73GHz Celeron processor, for instance.

  • @DeShaadman you can get some great stuff free. My last copy of windows ultimate was a bit more then free. And I use my Ubuntu way more then my windows.

  • @TheTsarprodigy Sigh. Maybe I'll just get a new graphics card. I think my comp could handle it. It's HP EliteBook 8730w. •crossesfingers•

  • @TheTsarprodigy Ya, well you have Raedon...so it's still better than my card.  *Described in other comment*

  • My graphics card isn't good enough for Compiz. Can someone suggest a compositing program that might be 'at least half as decent' as Compiz?

    My card is ATI FireGL v5752. :S

    I have Compiz installed and 'enabled' but it doesn't actually run. I know it's graphics card being too weak. •tear•

  • Does the new Macbook Pro have a good enough graphics card to have all these effects?

  • @DeShaadman you get no viruses on linux another reason why i switched to linux from 7

  • @DeShaadman Finally, the rate of growth of Linux is astounding. It's come a long way in the relatively short time span (compared to Windows) that it's been around. In terms of usability, in some ways Ubuntu is superior to Windows 7, and in other ways it is not. But it's good to know that every 6 months a new update is released that generally adds tons of new features and fixes even more bugs.

    The best part of Linux/Ubuntu is the fact that you can always try it out. Just pop in a CD to test.

  • @DeShaadman Glad to see someone genuinely interested. Firstly I'd like to apologize for the people being silly and dissing Windows without specific reasons. I use Windows all the time, and for some things, like gaming, there's no viable alternative.

    Firstly, Linux is free and open source. This means that you can install as many copies of it as you want, and you'll get updates to the software for free. Secondly, Linux is unbelievably customizable. There isn't really anything you can't customize.

  • Linux forever, Windows sucks.

  • да здравствует коммунизм:D

  • people pls send me on my3uka@i.ua, what is this song? Really love this song, buy cant search. pls send me the name on my3uka@i.ua Thank you

  • @my3ukam Look in the description, or even BELOW THE DESCRIPTION where there's a LINK to the song.

  • i cant connect to the internet on ubuntu but ican connect in windows on the same pc

    is there any way i can download compiz in xp and then install in ubuntu 10.04.

  • @SkyWalker4320 first off learn how to configure your connection in Ubuntu. that's key, I couldn't bear an OS in which I couldn't connect. secondly, it is possible to configure your filesystem to access your windows files

  • i have ccsm but apparently not all the plugins.

    Could you point me in the direction of those u mentioned in this video

    Another thing, is there a difference between ccsm and compiz fusion?

  • What most people (even those in the open source community) don't realize is that a lot of the modern desktop effects (like transparency) where influenced by development on open platforms like Enlightenment back in the 90s. Rob Malda (Slashdot) actually got the whole transparency thing kicked off with a joke terminal window background back in 1997. And then there is BeOS, experimental X windows stuff, etc.. OS X came much later, then Windows Vista even later.

  • @KDALove one more thing... i also go to college and in order for me to get my degree i have to take some Microsoft classes as well as Linux classes, so if they don't teach you Linux at your college, how are they preparing you? you may want to change college...

  • very amazing

    

  • if anything, apple and microsoft stole them from the community.

  • Is it posible do it in windows? If It's posible, please tell me How?

  • @ThePcTrickster

    Its funny too, how the this is all open source, yet windows still can't get it right

  • Compiz is cool and I like it!

    Not to criticize - but my workstation was very slow this morning. The System Monitor/Processes view revealed that compiz was sucking 50+% of my CPU. I killed it and the system is snappy again.

    I have 2GHz dual core and high performance video card. I believe that my only benefit was the cool video effects while dragging windows. That was working fine for a long time without performance issues.

    YMMV

  • wow over 1 million views. Linux is growing big time now lol. :o stolen from windows 7 ur fucking kidding me right?????? wahahahhahahahha...sure... what ever u say bud. How can that be if compiz existed years before 7 was ever released. dont u think its the other way around. Like 7 stole KDE's looks. :s

  • Comment removed

  • see at mark10000 ! ( Compiz)

  • Check out my Channel for Everything Linux and OpenSource People! Subscribe and I will Love you Long time! haha :)

  • is better bumtop, plis that consum to much ram and video grafic card, you ned a ultra computer to make that program work

  • This was my favorite video with compiz,maybe some time you check my video with compiz.

    Nice work

  • Personally, I don't care about the "open source" issue. It's probably nice to have the source to your system if you speak C, C++, Python and Perl, but I don't, so I don't care. I really don't much care about price. I can afford a couple hundred bucks for a Windows CD if I want it. I do play a few games on occasion - that's what a PS3 is for. I want web browsing, spreadsheets, video playback, PDF viewing/printing, etc. - and I want it to not crash. So I use Ubuntu on my laptop and desktop.

  • i tried to customize my xp and i called it nice until i saw this one....jawdropping.....i was so pissed off XD

  • sorry for my english, :) does anyone know what music is in this video? answer on priv, please :) thx :)

  • most of the plugins, are completely useless

  • @ontheroof99 You could do that with Windows too if you learn the command line

  • Comment removed

  • @KDALove you do realize that Microsoft means MONEY and opensource means FREE right?

    and for those programs that U pay for...

    GIMPshop, Gimp, Krita, Sodipodi, Inkscape, Avidemux, Openshot, Kdenlive, Cinelerra... and i can keep going...

    so good luck doing what you do... couse i will keep on doing the same thing you do... but i pay...NOTHING

  • @f22k221 Microsoft is a business. We live in a capitalistic economy. Get over it. Ubuntu has become bloated. Most of the software you mentioned aren't used by professionals. Our Arts and Technology department at my college teaches every student with AutoDesk Maya and the Adobe Suite. You can keep your GIMP, thank you very much.

  • @KDALove well clearly you need to learn more about Linux... not only ubuntu... but others... did you know that fedora was the one to came out with virtualization?

    did you know that it has came with new file systems?

    did u know that those filesystems try to avoid fragmentation?

    which clearly performs better that a fragmented system.

    do you know what is XEN?

    did you know that fedora ("test-bed" for Red Hat that is use in a large number of organizations) is use by multiples organization as well?

  • @f22k221 I've used Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Kubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, Damn Small Linux, Pupply Linux, Slax Linux, and some other lesser known distros. All of them do not compare to the experience I had to Windows 7. So yes. Red Hat may have an upper hand in the business market but Windows 7 is more user friendly than any major Linux distro out there.

  • @KDALove i was about to say something... but i just realize.... you just want to be controversial...

    nevermind...

  • @KDALove My experience with windows 7 has been pretty one dimensional, it still only comes with one desktop and is very limited in customization options.

    And user friendliness is mainly down to what you are used to, i personally think ubuntu's way of installing applications is much easier than windows.

  • @KDALove you do realise Blender is a contender with maya, right?

  • @ontheroof99 quite a lot of money, but it is required for the classes I will take soon. Right now I'm making some money with photoshop with logo/banner designs but it will pay off once I graduate. ;)

  • @ontheroof99 lol? "computer specialist" - well good for you! I use command prompt to restore my lost data ;]

    I'm out as well.

  • @ontheroof99 Look buddy, just because something is free doesn't make it "better". Firefox loads slow because it's being bloated by the Mozilla foundation, my Windows 7 boots from login to desktop under 15 seconds. There has been regression when I updated Ubuntu (thank you kernel updates) so now I'm forced to use generic drivers which means no 3D acceleration. You want to be cheap and use a mediocre OS fine by me. But I'll take 7 over Ubuntu any day ;)

  • @ontheroof99 Another issue with the driver is the fact that with every Linux kernel release or OS release, there is bound to be driver problems. Frequent kernel update is all fun and games except when you're trying to create drivers. Which is why many manufacturers don't even bother making Linux drivers. There is no specific standard on this.

  • @ontheroof99 Home Pre is 159.99. Which is worth the money considering you're getting an OS that almost all major programs support, which has great driver support AND application support, polished interface, and faster speed ( boots faster than openSuSE, Fedora, and Ubuntu on my laptop)

  • @ontheroof99 99% of the drivers working my ass. I have tried Linux on multiple pc's and on each of them I was forced to search though the internet to find solutions.The open source programs offered by Linux don't come close to the professional counterparts.The art department in my college uses Dreamweaver and Photoshop to teach the lessons. So I'll take Photoshop proficiency over "GIMP" any day specially since most employers want phototshop experience when you do get your degree in those fields

  • @ontheroof99 Look Linux is superb for servers but for desktop computing, its good for giving it to your grandma so she can check her email and maybe watch some cooking videos on YouTube. But for serious computing and gaming, Windows is the only viable choice. I honestly don't care about visuals. I disabled The visual style on my Windows 7, I just have the standard gray GUI.

  • @ontheroof99 I agree that Vista may have been bad but Windows 7 pretty much fixed all that. Windows 7 is already the fastest selling OS in history....

  • @ontheroof99 Not when I tried it. And I get instant mail notifications on my email app so I can respond fairly quickly. And no, I had a lot of trouble when trying Adobe products with wine. Windows 7 already surpassed Linux desktop marketshare. Bitch about it all you want but Windows is still better ;)

  • @ontheroof99 Yeah, those aren't professionaly made software that you could use for serious movie editing. And when I mean flash I mean Flash the producer not the player....as in Adobe Flash CS4, moron.

  • @ontheroof99 Really? Name me one professional video editing tool that would go on par with Sony Vegas, Adobe Primere/After Effects. Name me one HTML editing suite that can go head to head with Dreamweaver/Fireworks. Name me one Flash creating tool that can compare to Adobe Flash.

  • @ontheroof99 Actually no. I hate Microsoft as well but for different reasons. They have slow update schedules, loose privacy, and a lot of bloatware. But they have better support for hardware, games, and applications so that makes up for it . =)

  • @ontheroof99 Suffers from regressions :/

  • @ontheroof99 Moreover, I've used Photoshop and GIMP and they are not similar. Photoshop is well polished and I would not take any alternative to it. Same with Dreamweaver, same with Sony Vegas, same with every other professional editing tool available. Not to mention I can't play modern games on it. WINE is useless. I can't play at two frames per second.

  • @ontheroof99 I format my PC every few weeks. No matter what, I have a fresh installed image of my Windows with preinstalled software/games/drivers. While on Ubuntu I have to bend over backwards to find compatible nVidia drivers, then only to find out that the proprietary nVidia drivers themselves aren't that good, then search the web for hours trying to find wireless LAN driver, then for the HD audio, then for the smart card readers. It's too much hassle for a mediocre performance.

  • @ontheroof99 1)What viruses? I've been using it for months now and I haven't gotten a single virus. 2) I don't mind paying for programs if they deliver what they promise

    3) I haven't gotten a blue screen since I used Windows XP. And that was years ago.

    On the other hand, I've gotten multiple errors when synaptic crashes while trying to install packages.

  • Ever after running Lucid +Compiz, I never turned back to Windows 7... well, maybe except that it runs in VM now.

  • Hey Puttabutta,

    What Emerald theme is that you're using there? I like it!

  • @TheYouuTubeRipper check out the description ;)

  • @puttabutta Sorry, must have missed it - thanks

  • @TheYouuTubeRipper emerald is cool but but I prefer it on linux not5 on Google seach results

  • windoze is stupid

  • video kicks ass!

  • Loving Compiz!

  • Open source rullez!!!

    Linux Rullez!!!

    Fuck windows

  • @luisgdh No fuck linux. You can go play with your kiddie GIMP and other lame opesource software. I'll stick with my Modern Warfare, Photoshop and Sony Vegas :)

  • hmzjemnd bei laune mit mia zu chaten oder am tele oder auch per cam ^^ bin gelangweilt

  • whats that song?

  • every thing worked properly when I followed your tutorial but when I press Ctrl+Alt+Move Window like you said nothing happens and what is a "super" key? possibly the windows button?

  • @MooseSSesooM Yep, in Linux the Windows key is called the Super key.

  • @puttabutta Okay thanks :)

  • @puttabutta Okay thanks :)

  • I am having trouble setting mine up :/

  • Stolen from Windows 7, eh? Seriously? You realize that all this stuff was around WAY before windows 7 was announced? Look how old this video is!

    I'll agree that the effects are mostly useless, but you can't claim they were stolen from windows 7 OR vista, as they were out before even vista was.

  • I totally agree. I think Microsoft are the ones that stole from our family of open source users.

  • @puttabutta I see there are a lot of windows fanboys with absolutely no knowledge commenting. Great Demo by the way. For windows fanboys, the following link represents some facts you probably should know:

  • Stolen from Windows 7?

    K.

    You do realise Compiz Fusion was created 3 whole years before Windows 7 was released?

    Thought so.

  • @atomiclard It was stolen from Longhorn.

  • @atomiclard

    Windows steals everything.

  • hahaha

  • I love compiz!!!!!

  • so looking for a guy who knows his way around a lady's body

  • what is the name of this song ?

  • @aaronpzcr "The Song is "Ya Ya" on "The Early Tapes of The Beatles" album. I don't know if it's a Beatle singing, but I believe they're playing in the background." Read the description...

  • i have a question if anyone can help,

    has anyone had success with ati radeon drivers and compiz? i know the HD series is a nightmare, and I am about to purchase a laptop and have Nvidia in mind for that reason.

    I want to know if compiz can work with radeon without tweaking like it can with nvidia, thanks

  • @RealNeurotiq It works fine - Just download the official ati drivers and then get it to generate the distro specific debs (or rpms) you need

  • i heard that there was a major performance issue even if they got working at all, like it would drop 400 fps or something

  • @RealNeurotiq Well there are a FEW issues with some effects but personally i never enable them. Window motion blur is one for me but who REALLY needs that :P

  • @Mandragara I need them all, because they are awesome. The point is, the operating system should be compatible, and short comings are bugs that need to be ironed out.

    i'd rather use linux on nvidia than risk issues with ati. once linux can figure out how to write good drivers for ati, imagine the systems that can use compiz, say, the wii, lol

  • @RealNeurotiq Fair point. But you must realize ATI codes the drivers for their cards. Linux developers are not left with much to play with

  • they should add that window effect when u dragg it on mac :P

  • So many of you ignorant folks really believe that linux is all eyecandy, true its an easy way to draw the youth in, but down to the core its a solid and serious piece of work which is far more complexed than windows. great video man 5 *

  • LOL whoever said it was stolen from windows 7 is truly retarded...

  • Awesome song what does it called plzzzzzzzzzzz

  • There's a reason videos have descriptions.

  • @strike4may puttabutta pwned ur ass lol . OWNAGE!!

  • the wobbly effect is soo cool xD

  • Just because all you see on youtube is compiz fusion doesn't mean that people don't do serious work on the desktop. This just happens to be fun eyecandy that looks pretty even if it's overkill. I'm sure my desktop from 2 years ago was a bit overkill but it was an excellent way to showcase Compiz Fusion.

    My desktop now on my laptop has the cube disabled. I use it for college to write essays and to browse the web. I'm not going to post a video of me writing an essay, though.

  • LOL, I have to say that a video of a guy writing an essay sure be most interesting than 90% of youtube videos. I think that linux going eyecandy will atract more people and that's great.

  • @JesusManson323

    You're wrong. Watch how compiz can be productive.

    /watch?v=CWaOjUQKO_g

  • Why does this have 7 thumbs down? He's fucking right, people.

  • Most video cards work with compiz, even integrated GPUs. Your best bet would be Nvidia since they have the best driver support for linux.

  • i can't believe asus A8N no boot from usb option.

  • i want to install compiz fusion and a lot of other utilities,but i have no f-ing idea how, as i'm new to linux.i have kubuntu K.D.E. 8.1...can anyone help?

    and i know i can learn myself, but this stuff looks really cool and i want to have it now.

    would it help if i install a newer version?....maybe they come preloaded in them???

  • The newest KDE (KDE 4) doesn't support Compiz very well because it has its own built-in desktop effects. If you got standard Ubuntu it comes with compiz pre-installed, with all these effects and more.

  • The rock n roll boogie which accompanies the video is really marvelous. I haven't heard it before, I guess Jerry Lee Lewis, the title as he says is Yo Yo? Congratulations. (By the way I have openSUSE) Can you tell us the graphics card?

  • os cara sempre tem que colocar essas porra de RWINDOWS isso aqui é linux

  • WoaH  i love that SONG too ( : have te cd )

    One more time !!....

    ok so, what youre saing its i need practically same EXPENSIVE hardware as vista or seven needs for run that O.S.

  • you can run compiz effect on integrated graphic card :D it means you need basic (cheap) hardware. Install Ubuntu OS its easy and best linux system.

  • No, not even close..

  • Mine is the other way around (as in it looks like im inside the box and not out) what is wrong? how do i fix that.

  • thanks for the video I'm going to get this.  I need to do a fresh install of ubuntu anyways

  • Great Demo!!!

  • what butttons do u ahve to push to activae this or just use it and yes i have ubuntu and its downloaded :P

  • Ubuntu comes with all the effects installed, but they aren't enabled. Open up Add/Remove Programs (or the Software Store if you're in Karmic) and install CompizConfig-Settings-Manager. Then, you can enable any effects that aren't already by clicking the checkbox. For the cube you'll want to enable Cube and Rotate Cube, and maybe Cube Reflection and Distortion. Experiment with it. Have fun!

  • yes i know that but it says i have to push ctrl and alt and when i do it only spinns and i cant see the 3d par of the cube :P

  • Oh yeah, well you have to change the desktop size to 4 from 2, it's in General>Desktop size in CCSM.

  • tnx for the help :P lol i was kinda confuzed there lol would u happen to know how to get lime wire or frostwire?

  • is a shit

  • In my opinion with the sudo apt-get commands and the repositories it is so easy to install and remove applications and themes (I run ubuntu which in my opinion is the easiest to install and get to work from the get go). It also demands much less than windows in terms of power and memory.

  • omg this shet 100% need ram

  • That fire effect at 2:35 is very cool!

  • In many cases, Compiz is lighter on the processor because Metacity (the default no-thrills WM) uses software rendering whilst Compiz does hardware rendering. However, latest Metacity supports basic compositing (transparency, smooth moving windows) so I don't know how this has changed.

  • Some of this is useless eyecandy that just wastes cpu cycles, but some I actually use and find useful (like the expose clone). Linux is not for everyone (not for most people actually) but I find it really great for doing work (programming, typing papers, etc).

  • heh but you don't waste CPU cycles when your CPU is idle =]

  • I'd be all for Ubuntu, the general idea and interactiveness is great, and the visuals are amazing. Except: the fundamentals don't work half of the time unless you're skilled enough to fix them (and with so many versions, following an online guide is nearly impossible), and Wine doesn't work at all - at least not for me. Oh, and it wouldn't kill the designers to add a normal GUI option instead of making everything terminal-based.

  • I like Ubuntu because I find the opposite is true. I am often searching for drivers for Windows, yet Ubuntu has most if not all required drivers pre-installed as kernel modules. (Disclaimer though, I don't use Vista (hate it) only XP so maybe this has changed?)

  • I think Windows 7 will have drivers built into it, not sure though. Like I said, I love how Ubuntu works with you in certain ways, but then it's still "freeware" and acts like it. For example, I can't get something as good as Photoshop on Ubuntu, and I can't install it because Wine doesn't work.

  • What version of PS? I heard CS2 works well.

  • I have CS3. But it wasn't only Photoshop. I've tried multiple installations/versions of Ubuntu, and Wine never worked for me with anything. I just gave up and figured if I used Ubuntu it was only with the apps that it came with or that are made for Linux.

  • 1. Linux =/= Ubuntu. Ubuntu is nice, and often times it's easy, but it's not the best for some things, and it doesn't have the best documentation either.

    2. There are GUI's for just about anything now. If you know the commands, great. If not, most quality Desktop Managers have links to them right in the menu or settings panels. The terminal is such a powerful tool that most people who are comfortable with Linux find it is easier and faster to use the terminal than use a GUI for many common tasks

  • 3. Skilled enough? It's an equivalent amount of knowledge most often, just not one people have learned. Most people have used Windows so long they have seen are researched how to do common tasks, but never in Linux. Would it take any less time to figure out in Linux then it did all those years ago in Windows? Again with a KDE example, most people know how to change file associations in Windows, but a lot of new Linux (with KDE) users can't figure it out in Linux Go figure, it's almost the same

  • I know there's a learning curve with everything, but I don't think it's the same with Linux. If I download an .exe file on Windows, I double-click and it sets up automatically. With Linux, to get a certain part of the OS set up (for example, a theme) I had to spend hours figuring out why the theme wasn't compatible until I realized you can only install certain formats, and only through the theme manager when it's already running. Why can't one theme format work for all versions of Ubuntu?

  • maybe not for themes, but package installation in ubuntu is about as close to one click as you can get, plus dependencies and updates are handled automatically, far from a dream in windows...

  • Well call me stupid, but it took me a year of on and off usage to get used to Ubuntu. Nothing technological I used before was more difficult to learn, and I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only one who encountered countless of issues and impractical approaches and a lack of UI support while tying out Linux.

  • i won't deny there issues, but it is getting better. personally i've found the switch easy to get used to as an ex-vista user, but with anything new there is a learning curve.... it easily took me a year or so to get used to using windows when i first got a pc

  • stupid.

  • A lot of these commenters are wrong.

  • Moo!! I'm a cow.

    Looks good to me. Gonna try it out.

  • If you wanna talk about bias, look at yourself first!

  • So that's it then? You've fallen down? Nothing to say but childish nasty words.

  • I worked in Union Card for a much longer time than to have to hear your worthless comments. XP may have been better than Vista, but it was still the typical buggy Windows shit. I stand my point, 98 SE was a better OS. Like I said, if you overlooked gaming for a second, you might understand what I mean, but you probably won't anyway because it's turning out you're one of those typical stubborn Windows users living their life in denial. Linux runs the world, Windows runs in basements of gamers.
