"WARNING" - Linux commercial

[chardude11]

WIndows and Mac are always bashing eachother.... Then Linux is over there saying "Whatever I own both of you and you know it!"

[viking1au]

2 Hours tonight to clean up Windows; scan everything, etc.. Approx 8 nasties found, even though I have barley used it for 3 months. -- I have been using Linux Ubuntu, TOTALLY UNPROTECTED. --NO NASTIES YET! --LOVE IT!

[fabianswinger]

I usually use Linux

but I think that OpenBSD is more secure

[RicorianGuardian]

....i see what you did there.

[1000000Sub]

hahahahahahaaaaaaaaaa !!!!!! omhg !!

[ChickenTrigger]

Linux is going to become a viable threat to Windows within this decade....the time draws near....muahahahahah * cue army of penguins *

[NerdForMIT]

Linux is the best, It is not just my opinion, but the opinion of millions of computing professionals across the globe!

[legoholic19]

mac rulez!

[RondoRaven]

OSX is pretty cool, though. If I could run it on any PC hardware I wanted I'd give it another chance

[91RENO911]

OMFG 5STARS FOR RAPING MICROSOFT!!!!

[91RENO911]

Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!! That's funny as shot!!!!

[Anthonyazar]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL­

[nameis12396]

windows = insecure

mac = depends on having small pc sales for virus and spyware

linux = constant updates and is virus free

[WildeSummer]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. Microsoft just got his ass kicked xD

[MrRothschild1]

Ubunto... all the way... If they don't make the drivers... you can!!!!! :D

[hed961]

It's spelt Ubuntu not Ubunto

[ksdlap]

nice.

[MirceaKitsune]

Gotta love Linux :) I can't wait to learn it and throw Windows away.

[eeshanmulye4]

this kicks the crap out of the windows commercial "life without walls"man this is ultimate

[hal970fx]

@eeshanmulye4

If you don't have any walls, where the hell are you supposed to put your windows?

[Mantua64]

Nice:) Love the idea!

[ollyuzr]

intruders come through 'windows' !! hahahha

that was nice !!

[gtgidemgreen]

Mac OS X is a linux, in my opinion the best one because it can run any linux program and is fast and safe.

[Goodair05]

@gtgidemgreen os x is NOT linux because the point of linux is that it is open source and free - os x is neither of those things.

[andrue1234]

Do you really think so?Mac OS based on OS that have micro kernel named Darwin.

All distributions of Linux have macro kernel named Linux. Do you feel the difference?=)

Not all Linux programs may run under Mac,only POSIX standarted.

[hal970fx]

@andrue1234

Well technically it's the XNU microkernel (Mach) with the BSD kernel grafted on as a service, Darwin is the base system consisting of only the Open source components (no aqua, finder, quartz)

[mixinem]

Mac OS X is not a linux, it is a BSD and is now considered a flavor of Unix. and no it will not run all of linux programs.

[BastetFurry]

It will, get the osx version of gcc and compile&run every userspace programm a linux can run.

Isnt FOSS great?

[cookiegate]

OS X is bsd based, but everyone is entitled to their opinion.

[kingsofcarnage]

ha! Just twigged it at the end. Very clever!

[Fisaren]

hahaaha good commercial, better then that microsoft crap :P

[malroTheo]

Lmao

[koobi180]

lol

[unixarmy]

Id just like to interject for a moment. What youre refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as Ive recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

[tchernabyl]

I LOVE THIS VID !!

[RemoteTechnology2012]

I'm starting to like Linux.

I've used window platforms my whole life plus an Imac computer.

Linux is on my wanted list.

We are searching for a developer.

[Asdam12]

xD Nice. True too. :P

[Fixxxer50]

Linux = Democracy

For the People, By the People

Linux = Freedom

[fcojavlr6]

jajaja q comercial tan original

[hax0r1338]

Linux rullez :P

[Zackasaurus125]

lol i luv this vid im favoriteing.

[firebrand2012]

jajaj. ubuntu rules and if you got wine then you've got it all

[slacker437]

Slackware rules if you want to really customize your system, else Linux Mint is a really good distribution for "normal people", but not if you want to be in charge of your computer as much. it also supports Ubuntu's repositories and is based on Ubuntu. I don't like Ubuntu's lack of security though...

[limulus54]

the second it gets decent game support or more stable emulators, I'm making it my main os. for now though I've got one hd with ubuntu on it, and one with windows.

[01q1q]

@str33nz

You are suck.

Search in Wikipedia "Wine" and "Cedega"

Sit on M$ OS and shut up. You don` know about Linux. Use any Linux dystribution and text tell about Linux.

Linux Best, Windows Baned.

[str33nz]

Saying linux sucks because you cant play Windows games natively is like saying your sports car sucks because you cant haul lumber in it. There's different things for different uses. Windows = gaming, Linux = free software, lower system requirements, less crashing. Maybe in the future one of the OSes will be able to do all of these.

[Will141414s]

lol, operating systems mainly crash due to user error

[stargater94]

Indeed... Besides its the fact that most games are designed for the Windows OS... If the designers of the games created Linux versions or instead skiped windows and made it Linux only then such a problem wouldnt of happened... same thing applys to Windows only software...

[alexmattgeorge]

thank you. so true. ugh these mac vs. pc vids are crzy

[Azeron1]

i think linux already does.. I play every game that come to my mind on it.. but most of the click click windows users are not enough inteligent to adapt to a different (even its better) system..

[yungceezy10]

Mac OS X is like the middle ground thats just my opinion

[WaveMakers]

Apple = Microsoft minus marketshare. Yes, they're still a little 'underdoggish', but they're also about vendor lock in, and closed up platforms.

[HelloWaffle]

But, of Apple and Microsoft, which is the better company? Less of two evils?

[muk546]

linux is good but i like macs better

1.macs

2.linux(i like ubuntu best)

3.windows xp

4.Free BSD

5.VISTA

[ross817]

OS X is the *expensive* middle ground.

[BlankoTV]

Funny and true fact, =D

[heinrichmen]

Linux is the future of computers =D

[TwosComplement]

I wish this really was on TV...

[schmidtbag]

the other linux commercial is much better. this one isn't bad and has a good analogy but it isn't professional enough

[UltimatePisman]

I've switched to Linux since the release of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.

And now with 9.04, I am still happy with it.

Even more than MS-DOS, Windoze 95, 98SE, 2000, XP, Vista and 7 together.

[AimUser13]

Hmmm...linux seems awesome :o

Just one thing, will the programs i use for windoes work on a linux?

[Ninjasprayer]

most of them will if you download wine

[jeroeniskoning]

some of them...

[luiggiblade]

yes if you use an emulator

but why bother?? you have many better and free alternatives

[Andris1319]

Some of them will, but most of them has an alias for linux (I mean in linux every kind of software exists that can do the same as in windows).

As far as I remember, Linux could always manage hardware resources much better than windows. Also notice, linux can natively read-write windows partitions, windows cannot linux partitions.

However, sadly, most if not all DirectX games for windows cannot run under linux. That's the only matter in it.

[chobrocoli]

That's not actually right, the linux kernel can read and write FAT (used in older versions of windows and pretty much every modern memory stick) file systems, however when it comes to NTFS (the one used on most windows machines) it is left with the ability to read files and a VERY limited support for editing files. Of course, once you switch to linux, you won't miss the ability to use NTFS...

[Coyotefreak667]

Hahaha! Epic win! So true! Linux rulez!

[tassefras21]

funny

[Unkaputtlich]

i am currently trying to completely switch to linux :)

[gfyhdhbyhgj]

I already changed. I lost some games, but then come back with WIne. I have a great PC, but Windows makes it much slow... With Ubuntu, i can use the real peformace of my pc, i can play games, i recomend you to try firts on a VirtualMachine (NOt on M$ Virtual PC - Linux crashes...), burn on a CD/DVD/ test again (To be sure the CD/DVD works) and then, goodbye, windows :-D

[ChangeWeCantBeliveIn]

I love Windows, but I have learned the hard way Vista is to unstable for everyday use. So i'm just going to get Ubuntu with a Windows XP skin, WINE, DOSEMU, and NDISwrapper. Then it will be just like running Windows, without the hogging of system resources and crashing.

[NoobixCube]

Windows really isn't ready for the desktop ;)

[hyperion311]

nice

[L337own4g3]

lol. true.

[darthirakli]

True, there are antiviruses for Linux. But all of them actually remove Windows viruses, which do not affect Linux.

[Wolfie276]

ROFLMAO WTF!

and yeah, LINUX FOR THE WIN

[essial]

Yes, so that linux mail servers can remove windows viruses.

[fungie5]

I actually have Avast installed in Ubuntu Linux. I use it to scan files that I download for installation on my Windows installation (I dual boot).

[LinuxMoogle]

Awesome! Linux is more secure than Windows!

[MasterOfTheKeyz]

lol me and a friend were mucking around making random posters about stuff, and i made one about linux. my friend said to me "if linux is so great, why don't you stick those posters up around the school?" so i did. the next day in music my teacher saw the posters and said "oh, was it you that put up that poster outside? i went and asked the ict dept if we could get linux up here in the music room."

unfortunately, the ict dept said no, but it just goes to show what a good advertisement can do!

[stayelusive]

I must say, I installed the latest version of ubuntu along side my xp partition, just for the sake of online transactions (I've had to reformat numerous times due to trojans). It turns out I use my ubuntu partition 95% of the time as opposed to windows. I really only need xp for gaming and itunes now (I know there alternatives for both, but apparently my version of itouch hasn't been cracked yet, and I'll take advantage of my xp for gaming since I have it.)

[gbultimate]

if linux is so safe why dousnt my ubuntu distribution have any virusscanner or internet security software?

[WaveMakers]

Your question is basically: if my wall is so strong, why aren't there any guards protecting it?

It's BECAUSE the system is safe, that you do not need additional software protecting it.

[gbultimate]

aha..

i get it now.

[otharennaur]

Anyway, there are some Antivirus programs for Ubuntu if you feel it's not safe enough

[warmotor]

LOL, I installed Linux on an old laptop for a friend and he insisted on having a virus scan program so I installed ClamAV. You know what? It did actually find some viruses... on his old NTFS partition - apparently Norton missed them. God, I love Linux.

[pepsipopup]

warmotor: awesome! i bet norton is with microsoft! letting virus destroy machine so ppl buy new one and MS give money to norton

[L337own4g3]

i doubt there is that much they are hiding from us... but still, lol

[bentleycoup]

Love the commercial, Bahahahahahahahaaaa. Ask any coder no matter the programming language who has the better OS Microsoft or Linux. Hmm Linux wins hands down. Ok, some of you are looking at this message and don't believe me. Google to find out who gets paid the most programmers that use Linux or programmers that uses Microsoft. Aha Linux wins again. If you don't want to spend so much time waiting and freezing or rebooting give Linux a try. You are smart enough to use it.

[Monchanger]

bentleycoup: Sadly, there are still many programmers who have no informed opinion of Linux, and continue to live in somewhat-blissful ignorance. More of these are being churned out by lousy schools every year, which keeps the costs of hiring these guys low. Microsoft spends heavily to get schools to keep its business alive.

[LTS1287]

Despite that fact that Linux can't get viruses (rootkits are different) it does have programs that scan for Windows viruses and rootkits meant to target a UNIX (or UNIX-like) system.

Linux has more than enough security software.

[carlostinonsa]

Linux is so so safe, that theres no need of any security suite due to his desing and rules.

Also most "Virus makers" dont make Virus or trojans to it, because Linux doesnt got all that quantity of users as Windows, so damage is very very low, and these guys want to fuck most computers as possible.

[otharennaur]

Does this comercials really exist or existed some day???

[WaveMakers]

No, and no. And with good reason. While it's amusing to some, it doesn't even come close to the quality a 'real' commercial would have to uphold. It was basically put online prematurely. :)

Oh well, at least people talk about linux here. That's the main thing.

[cjb1101]

Real commercials have quality? I hadn't noticed.

[twidgeridoo]

Yes, it's true.. But Linux owns windows in many more points, than only security. ;) Btw: I love LINUX MINT !!!

[kydude57]

Linux Mint ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bebothebum]

Rofl

[WaveMakers]

home computer security systems anyway... :)

[gneric187]

wow you would think linux is home security systems after this one

[djtrixen]

Amen to that! :)

[BigFreakD]

HAHAHA Very nice. Great thinking.

[Regozzo]

freee softwere!!!

[Punkdude561]

lol

[15dude99]

Great ad. Before this, I had never heard of a Linux.

[WaveMakers]

Google 'Ubuntu' or 'Linux Mint'.

[deucz]

I think he's pulling your leg;-)

[WaveMakers]

Could be... :) But I'm still amazed by the number of people that have big question marks on their faces when they hear the word 'Linux'.

[dethonius]

haha perfect

[TiLeNpWneD]

Very clever and interesting video!

[webnull]

Hahaha this is nice ad :D

[sabbyreloaded]

Now this is funny. Plus it get the point across so nicely

[ahtipeterson]

this is clever

[azimech4989]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLL

[Exhalent]

I love Linux, I have multiple distros on Virtual Box and have it on another drive but I am still not fully done using Window$. Until I can use Cubase without doing anything too complex, I will use Window$ with fault... if only... I know there are alternatives but I do not know if I am ready to give up Cubase. I love producing and I do not want some lightweight sequencer.

[greendayaddictions]

Windows fails, Linux prevails.

[ausgamer09]

This ad is quite clever :D

[dexterdexter747]

I used to run windows and Linux but thanks to a virus my windows crashed and completely destroyed my computer. When I got my new computer, I decided to run only Linux and luckily, Dell gives you the option of getting ubuntu instead of windows and I'm more then happy with it.

[Ironclaw855]

where you using vmware when windows crashed? after a computer fails through a virus you can just refurbish it by reinstalling linux or making the other partition usable to linux

[ajboyton]

Wow, security through obscurity. That's something new!

[Envergure]

Hey, whatever works.

[ausgamer09]

If only this statement were true.

[frostek]

Security through better design actually.

[LoloftheRings]

People saying: "Linux sucks" never (at least they didn't spend more than 5 minutes on it) used it before

[dragonfelow17]

and use more than just a live cd

[carrierpilot1357]

I used to be that way to (thinking that linux sucks) but I tried it and now I think it is better than windows.

[habzzz]

Hahahahaha....

[cliffhanger525]

Lol so true!

[WaveMakers]

You hear a lot about war & violence these days, but very little about people just getting along peacefully.

Therefore, wars must be good and peace must be bad. :)

[TheFutureIsOpen]

nicely said;)

[PrettyBoyFalco]

so what was so good bout linux??

i never heard of linux

[arian40]

every thing you have trouble with windows, linux does it nicely with better funtions lool. and wont catch any virus :P ... but its advanced give it a try ;)

[charmednick]

catch any virus? oh crap ubuntu just sneezed!!! get the biohazard suit!

[CoverlessTech]

I use Linux and Windows pretty equally but I have to say this is wrong. Windows does nicely what linux has trouble doing; mainly hardware, and to expand that further network cards; especially printers, wireless cards and heaven forbid you ever have to install a 56k modem in linux.

Anyone who actually gets a virus should maybe consider taking some "computers for dummies" courses. In my 10+ years of using windows I've never even seen a virus

If you want to try it out I'd suggest googling kubuntu

[WaveMakers]

Let's not give false credit here.

Hardware manufacturerers are the ones that supply most drivers for Windows. Out of the box (without any additional searching) Linux supports most hardware immediately. I can plug it in and it works in seconds.

How about old hardware on Vista? My friend had to dump his printer & webcam when he got a PC with Vista pre-installed. Hardware that I now happily use... on Linux.

Although you're the 'chosen one' without any virusses, the rest of the world disagrees.

[oEQjet]

I didn't get them either when i ran windows.

Had a few close calls once, but they did essentially nothing to me or the stability of my system...

anywho im now happily snuggled in with the ubuntu distro. So yay linux. Also I've found that a stock ubuntu distro is more compatable with most computers (and laptops) then a stock vista or XP OS.

[Zackasaurus125]

i've got windows (my dad's giving linux next time i c im) i plugged in my webcam with vista and it says hardware is pc camera and its working bbut it wont do ANYTHING.

[Honestinwilkesbarre]

Over 10 years and never saw a virus? Better check and empty your anti-virus software's "quarantine", it's most likely pretty bloated by now.

[Fixxxer50]

I am using a 7 year old computer with ubuntu and Beryl working perfectly.

I installed Vista and it just rejected my NVIDIA onboard gpu and told me to upgrade my gfx card.

Bottom line is if you are not ready to try something new, dont talk sh*t about it.

[cha0s008]

There's lots of good about linux. Price (free), minimum system requirements (can run on mobile devices), stability, security (almost no viruses), really high customizability, always getting better, free programs, great community of people who can help you.

Basically if you're not a total gamer or do not need some programs (and there are no alternatives) that are specific to some platform, go with linux. You have nothing to lose.

[FuzzyGhost]

I'm a gamer, and I use Linux. Every id Software game can be run naitively in Linux, and there are only a handful that can't be run in Wine (Halo and other Microsoft games).

[dexterdexter747]

Actually, Halo can be runned on Wine now HURRAY! :D

[jegesvensk]

Happy face! :D

[Envergure]

My tech teacher runs WoW in WINE and it's faster than in Windows!

[5a73656e69]

You know, Linux in not user friendly and not a great gaming platform... and do you know why? Because it was _not_ made for noobs, who don't care about anything important in Linux.

It was made for geeks. And geeks really don't need a super user friendly GUI. Linux is a really great stuff (for those, who can use it of course)

[WaveMakers]

You're confusing 'user friendliness' with 'what I am used to'. Many things are more user friendly in distro's of Linux. Like:

1. One update tool to update ALL of your software.

2. A live CD (try before installing).

3. Easy & safe software installation through a package manager: search, click & install.

People who yell "Linux is for geeks!" should spent the same amount of time & effort getting to know Linux, as they did on Windows.

Before then, you're not qualified to make a good comparison.

[kevinb456]

spot on.

[nitanovidiu]

"People who yell "Linux is for geeks!" should spent the same amount of time & effort getting to know Linux, as they did on Windows."

5 stars for this phrase. Very nice :)

[lowtone10]

it took me two views to get it. windows as in micro$oft windows

[drzak182]

Why does everyone think windows suck?

i mean , mac's are the best but windows arent bad at all , infact their one of the best there! sure vista was a bit dissapointing but its not fucking crashing and crap 24/7!the only reason vista(bite that ANY version of windows is crashing is because that people download too much crap on there.

[Dutchymax]

nail... head... TICK... hit!

[cyborgtroy]

foals? I meant goals. Accursed keyboard!!

[dcruwys]

I think loled during that.

So true, and told in a kinda funny

[LouigiVerona]

Linux is a kernel. The OS is named GNU, but nobody calls it that way which is not a good thing. Linus Torvalds is against free software and GNU OS is free software OS.

[WaveMakers]

Linus Torvalds is NOT against free software. He and Richard Stallman from the FSF have some issues. The differences:

Torvalds: Software should be fully functional, and as free as possible. It should be able to compete in its current surroundings.

Stallman: Software should be fully free, and as functional as possible. We should strive to change the current surroundings, so the software can compete.

In my opinion, both ideas are very admirable and one should not exclude the other.

[LouigiVerona]

Hm. That IS being against it. Functionality over freedom is basically the opposite of freedom over functionality. And in many interviews Torvalds mocked FSF.

Look at these comments - when people speak about the advantages of GNU, they speak about technical stuff. Nobody speaks about freedom. If the OS is called GNU or GNU/Linux, people would at least get interested to go to gnu . org

[WaveMakers]

Really, it is not being against free software. Not many people speak of freedom, because they want their pc to work. Yes, we should strive for total freedom.

But putting yourself in a corner is not helping. Meeting people halfway (let's say: using prop. drivers to let your WiFi work) is essential. Offer them functionality WHILE they're changing.

Let's not create islands here. Both Torvalds AND Stallman want the same end result: free software for everyone. They just disagree on how to get there.

[LouigiVerona]

Hard no to agree with you on meeting people halfway.

[cyborgtroy]

If Linus opposed free software, he wouldn't have released the kernel under the GPL.

They both have the same foals, but Linus tolerates non-free software a lot more than RMS.

[MNICY]

There is a linux version of World of Goo :)

Download the demo and try it out!

There are games made for linux. And as linux grows more popular, more developers will make linux games.

On top of that, many games work very well with WINE. World of Warcraft; Half Life 2 and other Steam games; and many others.

And if you want to play a game that does not work with WINE, you can always dual boot :)

[OmgWizzs]

Then why do you use windows emulators like wine if you don't like windows? Face it kid, windows and mac will always be better than linux.

[WaveMakers]

The only reason why WINE comes in handy, is for using software that was written for Windows. The OS Windows, we do not need. For me, there is more great software in Linux without a Windows substitute, than the other way around.

Consistent Linux users are not people who actually prefer WIndows but don't, because of anti-microsoft sympathies. I use Linux because I find it more intuitive, safer, and a whole lot faster. And because most of my favourite software runs on it natively.

[deepfriedsquirrel]

wine is not an emulator

[addmoreice]

WINE = WINE is not an emulator.

it's not emulation.

we use wine because the game industry targets predominantly windows, linux is good enough to use even windows programs.

can your windows do that?

[thinkertux]

Many games can be played at better performance on wine than Windows

[HackerGuru100]

You can play games on linux...

[anthonzi]

lol if linux was just as popular as windows it would have just as many security threats. Of all professions, programming should understand the importance of evidence when making these kinds of claims.

[WaveMakers]

How's this for evidence: on a hacker convention, for three days, all hackers tried their best to hack a Mac, Windows PC and Linux PC. The Mac got hacked within two minutes, the Windows (Vista) PC took another day. After three days had past, the PC with Linux was still unhacked.

We're talking about really talented hackers here.

[Mut8edseabass]

Interesting points here. Do you have a link? I wonder how Vista could be more secure than Mac. I would love to see the flaws and holes they found.

[loled123]

Actually, Linux owns 70% of the server marked. And they are not exactaly exposed to alot of viruses and flaws are they?

If Linux was as popular as Windows there would be a bigger interest for viruses to be created, however the server marked kind of proves its wrong.

Its simple: Linux is heck alot more secure than Windows, and its opensource on the top of that(flaws gets detected and fixed faster than if it was a closed source thingy).

[TheRealDamnSyko]

Doesn't advertising go against the principles of Linux?

[WaveMakers]

How do you figure?

[TheRealDamnSyko]

You know, the whole not owned by anyone, free for the community to use and abuse thing makes advertising redundant. Advertising a product implies ownership, and as Linux is owned by nobody, advertising Linux as a whole is making a claim to owning all of Linux.

[decline0]

i don't see how advertising something is making a claim of ownership. people who where shirts with logos on them could be said to advertise for whatever company owns the logo, yet they themselves don't necessarily have any stake in that company. linux advocacy is beneficial because the more people that use linux, the faster it improves, thus benefiting the group that invested in the advocacy.

[thinkertux]

No it doesn't, only principle is it should be Open source and free under GNU GPL

[cdenver]

BackTrack, Gentoo and CentOS are the best distro's (in my opinion, for my use).

[Corbenik]

be safe use a condom
