@VideoWatcher332 Actually, Ironically I just do happen to have experience with C++, SDL & Game Programming.
I wouldn't waste my time unless I could use it to put gas in my car, food on the table and a roof over my head. Steam & AutoDesk, Adobe...etc will avoid linux like the black plague because the GPL would force them out of business & existence. No thanks I'd rather dig ditches than write software for a living with no return.
It also comes with all the Apps you don't need. Ubuntu Users need to start rating and reviewing apps in the Repo cauze a good 60% of stuff especially in the games section is trash, they need more packagers.
@murderslastcrow Well Ubuntu was always going to be the Linux Distro I picked, but with Windows 7 Home Premium, I don't feel a need. I know which I'll be picking in the future though, should I ever decide to use Linux. :)
@murderslastcrow No it probably isn't as difficult as I had originally made out. I understand that was probably the purpose behind the software center. However when I used it a while back, installing stuff I needed was NOT provided in the software centre meant visiting a website and downloading a package, which told me to use commands to be able to unpack and install such things. If it was in the software centre then I see it would have been simple.
That was extremely well made, catchy and flashy. Your transitions looked very professional and i actually thought it was a tv ad until I read the description. Good Job.
I had Ubuntu, but I had to partition my hard drive. Apparently this messes up the hard drive sometimes. Anyway, it wasn't that clear how to do things on Ubuntu. I'm not saying it's bad, but perhaps I needed a manual. Sources on the internet seemed so vague.
@murderslastcrow I do respect the work of the developers of Linux, but they are so smart at creating something that they forget the less technical folk. I am quite tech savvy myself, believe it or not, but it's hassle, an less productive... time consuming if you will, to figure out certain commands, or alternate commands which are similar things like /dev/sda/1 or something like that, which turns out to be hda, or hdd, takes ages!
MAC OS has a nice GUI, seems simple to me. Hrdware sppt is OK.
@murderslastcrow I'm quite happy with Windows 7. Sometimes I just get a bit picky and fancy a change. I like the concept behind things like Ubuntu. But 9.6 drivers for my video card is too old, wireless support is still naffo (you still need to use shitty NDIS wrapper or what?) an it's just too much hassle.
@UKFX Try installing 2 Windows 7 side by side and see if that is any easyer. You mention a 9.6 driver, I am guessing this is for a ATI grafic card. You no longer need to manually install driveres for ATI card, but if you have a HD card you can install a faster driver under System-Administration-Additional drivers, here you can also install the wifi driver for problematic wireless cards with one click, easy and simple.
Great video. The only thing Ubuntu are not allowed to install by default are the "restricted extras" - but you can install the "restricted extras" yourself easily enough. The "restricted extras" package gives you thinks like Flash player, MP3 support and so on - all the things the copyright ****ers like to encumber with patents and licence agreements. I will never go back to using Windows, I like Ubuntu too much. :)
@murderslastcrow I mean, it cannot be main stream. If the package installer thing isn't up to scratch, or you want something not listed. You have to use "code" in the terminal. How is that main stream? It isn't is it. I've used Kubuntu as well around the same time I used Ubuntu and Xubuntu. The problem is, lack of hardware support. I don't want to risk my XFX Radeon HD 4870, or use graphics drivers which were made a year ago which have no optimization. My thought of using Linux is no more. Peace
I hate how everyone goes! Stop using Windows, LINUX IS great. I love the way Linux looks. Ubuntu is my favourite. I'm rubbish at using Linux and I used Ubuntu 9.04 about 18 months ago... but either way it is not user friendly ENOUGH and hardware support is still naff-o. I like Windows 7's liteness but I'm not AS keen on the look. I prefer how Vista looked. At the time of using Vista I prefered Windows 7's look but not anymore and Ubuntu has a long way to go. As a Main OS. Ubuntu is 2 far behind!
Search for Compiz in the ubuntu software center and install it, then activate the plugins Wobbly Windows, Shift switcher, and Cube reflection and deformation.
I think those are all the plugins you need to get the same effect...

@papanselaju I prefer linux over windows, but windows isn't for morons, it's for gamers. If you don't play games but prefer windows, then you are moron :D
Great ad. Though it seemed like more of an ad for Compiz than actual ubuntu. You need to do a lot of customization to get those kinds of effects. Its not the ubuntu default so someone somewhere might be dissappointed.
AIR THAT SHIT!!!!!!!!! seriously put that on telivision. go get peeps to sponsor u and then they will air it of course you might have to do something for them like advertise their product or maybe even pay them
This isn't an ad for Ubuntu it's an ad for Compiz. Ubuntu itself is nothing really that special as far as Linux distributions go it's just insanely popular with beginners. Not that there's anything particularly wrong with that, it's just Linux has become totally synonymous with Ubuntu nowadays. I'll take Slackware over it any day.
no os is truly better you just pick the 1 with advantages you like and disadvantages you can deal with
Ubuntu(Linux) had been known to be very stable,very few known viruses(very few),Free which is always a +,Highly customizable, as well as a few other things I'm unaware of since I'm still learning
Disadvantages - very few comercial games as well as a lack of decent (non shooter)native games,not all hardware is compatible while most is
was going to do one for windows but the character limit
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ubuntu sucks. i made the disc installed it on my computer (which is very good). when i installed it there were like 100000 updates, hardly any programs worked for it. finally i got pissed off and said fuck ubuntu and re-installed windows xp media center edition.
1. The updates can easily install themselves in the background.
2. Barely any programs worked on it? Was that because you tried installing Microsoft products or something? Maybe tried installing things from your USB? Every program you have most likely exists -better- with a different name. And since it's Ubuntu, it's probably free.
You should be more patient, I switched to Ubuntu after 4 years of Windows. I wouldn't have any other OS. Get used to it and you will never turn back.
Nice video. When I saw the part at 0:02 I was thinking, "Oh no, not another video where the maker uses a word processor to communicate to the viewer..." but 0:02-0:16 was an amazing idea! Overall a great promotional video. Keep it up.

Haha.. that or half a wallet. I'd love to hear how i'd go about making a decent home recording studio using Ubuntu. This is exactly the retarded comment i'd expect from someone that supports an os that about .0000005 percent of the population even knows about.
Yeah, congrats, sean1256. Glad to hear you have money to spend on sleek looks and not much else. Ask server admins about Linux. Over 60% of servers run Linux. Oh, and you'd be happy to know that your Mac runs on Darwin, a modified BSD kernel. Bet you don't even know shit about what "BSD" is. I use it on my home servers for fun.
Is this version similar to the new Unbuntu Net Remix? I've been pondering purchasing a Netbook, and if this is what this new version looks and feels like. Sign me up!
Ubuntu is very popular linux distribution with tons of support by many computer users, it has a learning curve but with every version its becoming very user friendly, although compared to windows its a bit harder to work at times, when it runs perfectly you get a system that runs at a quarter or 1/8 the ram and uses processing power a fraction what windows uses, but when something goes wrong you will be messing around with command lines to fix it, all in all its a very stable and portable
and you can see in the video since its linux and is very light on resources you can dedicate that free resources with amazing visual effects with out having a completely top of the line computer, although if you have top of the line computer it will just run better =). The only downside is games mostly which i think is why alot of linux users have a dual boot system (having windows and linux in the same computer)
although there is alot of projects running around to try to get games running on linux and there are quite a few windows games that run on linux, (WINE), and in some programs you can even share their databases with windows OS (since Linux - Ubuntu can see all parts of the hard drive) =) -- all in all viva ubuntu! :D
This was alright... I can't get the flame effects to work on the new CCSM, that's why I originally went with Sabayon and Beryl.
The thing with my desktop is that I have it so that there are different wallpapers on each workspace. I have 8 workspaces just for the wallpapers... it is Asuka themed (from Evangelion).
I dual-boot with XP and U8.10. It's awesome, but CCSM needs to be a bit more USER FRIENDLY... just like with many Tux programs, lmao.
I use Ubuntu 9.04 Beta on both my pc's and if i want to do something i need Windows for. Reboot and 45s later i am ready.
If Everything worked with linux such as games and programs, microsoft whould make programs for linux. But microsoft has bought the market so no other OS can really get a big stand.
I say Stopp Buying Windows and get Linux instead.
At My work a have convinced several customers to try Linux and no one has come back to complain or ask anything.
Not everyone hates Windows. Majority dont praise it, but not everyone "hates" it. I'm one of them, because I'm just not stupid with computers, basically :P
erm, i dont think ubuntu can ever run games to such high a standard as windows too my knowledge, mid u OSX does play WoW so i suppose it could due to it being built on some of the same code, but ye u get me lol, ive been using ubuntu since 8.04 now using 9.04 beta
it in the beta now and it damn good, new themes and stuff and quicker boot up and shut down time, i would say its pretty stable now however id w8 the last month (:
I totaly agree if games were out for linux as they are windows then i would be using ubuntu its just a better operating system and i already say FUCK YOU BILL GATES
@Simplythebestmovies: Very well done video. If Ubuntu had TV ads, this would probably be the one. Although you might have to make 30 second ones. lol
@ tolazyk
Hey actually it is really easy to use Linux as long as you get a pretty straightforward distribution. Ubuntu is great and pretty easy to use. My parents enjoy it over windows and my sister picked it up with no instructions. And if you need that XP look and feel, you can just use some themes.
The only thing I am jealous of is the 3D cube and the window giggle-effect. It's pretty cool, but I heard you have to speak computer to use Linux. Too bad.
ubuntu is awesome and so is its cousin Linux-mint I have Ubuntu on my Compaq and Mint on my I,B.M net vista furthermore I can down load ubuntu software to linux mint with ease. and vis versa Another thing my two computer can talk to each other a lot better when I went the Ubuntu Windows X.P rote.
No it does not. It has lower requirements than Windows Vista and the same as XP. If you have a really old one use Xubuntu as it has about the same requirements as Windows 2000.
If all else fails and you really want a Windows feel I suggest you use LinuxMint because it is really similar. And it comes with more drivers than Ubuntu.
Hate to break it to you, but games for Windows will always run better on Windows. Let's just hope that game developers will port their games to Linux someday...
ich hab auch ubuntu, und ich muss sagen, ich bin vollkommen überzeugt und kann es nur empfehlen, es sieht besser aus als windoof, es braucht weniger leistung, es kann alles genauso gut, es hat n super support und das wichtigste: ES IST KOSTENLOS UND NICHT SINNLOS ÜBERTEUERT!!!
Esto es lo mas sencillo que Linux/GNU puede hacer. Vean otros videos de esta distribución y otras como Debian, Susse, Mandriva, LinuxPCOS, Xandros...hay mucho donde elegir y todas realzan la capacidad del PC, ojala con una buena tarjeta grafica.
your video card must be very very old. my 6 years old(i think, may be more) geforce mx 440(nvidia) works perfectly without slowing down the computer or what so ever.
I'm downloadin tht on my pentium 2 computer in my room right now. lol I have XP on it and it's pretty slow. I'm hopin linux wont take up as much ram... I'll find out i guess
Unfortunately, if you want to remove Ubuntu from a windows dual-boot, you need a bootable windows disc for your version. OEM users will have to recover their windows or borrow a disc. I had to and I was annoyed.
Yes, in fact, you can use it without making a single change to your computer! With the Live CD you run the OS off a CD, sure it's slow, but you get a good feeling of the system. Besides, you can install Ubuntu on one partion and XP on the other. That's how I went from Vista to Ubuntu.
this was an excellent video. i bought ubuntu the other day pre loaded on a memory stick because i have the acer aspire one with the 512mb ram so i cant download it but this video convinced me to buy it
Ubuntu seems to be very stable and looks very amazing, but what's with the support for Graphic Cards, Soundcards, Printers? Please help me, thanks in advance
Currently use Ubuntu on my laptop and worked with my ATI 7500 C and printer out of the box. The only thing that doesn't work with it is the wireless drivers.
No! Stay away you windows people! You don't really want Ubuntu! It's not better in any way! It's ours! Only we understand it! It's really difficult to learn! You won't like it at all! Honest! Our precioussss!!!!!

This was alright... I can't get the flame effects to work on the new CCSM, that's why I originally went with Sabayon and Beryl.
The thing with my desktop is that I have it so that there are different wallpapers on each workspace. I have 8 workspaces just for the wallpapers... it is Asuka themed (from Evangelion).
I dual-boot with XP and U8.10. It's awesome, but CCSM needs to be a bit more USER FRIENDLY... just like with many Tux programs, lmao.

I use Ubuntu 9.04 Beta on both my pc's and if i want to do something i need Windows for. Reboot and 45s later i am ready.
If Everything worked with linux such as games and programs, microsoft whould make programs for linux. But microsoft has bought the market so no other OS can really get a big stand.
I say Stopp Buying Windows and get Linux instead.
At My work a have convinced several customers to try Linux and no one has come back to complain or ask anything.

everyone hates windows to hell...
the only reason we use it is because everything's only compatible with windows...
very few with everything else =_=
if Conficker wipes my computer
(which has vista), im definitely getting ubuntu to put on it. (also considering i lost the fucking disc ._.)

erm, i dont think ubuntu can ever run games to such high a standard as windows too my knowledge, mid u OSX does play WoW so i suppose it could due to it being built on some of the same code, but ye u get me lol, ive been using ubuntu since 8.04 now using 9.04 beta

@Simplythebestmovies: Very well done video. If Ubuntu had TV ads, this would probably be the one. Although you might have to make 30 second ones. lol
@ tolazyk
Hey actually it is really easy to use Linux as long as you get a pretty straightforward distribution. Ubuntu is great and pretty easy to use. My parents enjoy it over windows and my sister picked it up with no instructions. And if you need that XP look and feel, you can just use some themes.

The only thing I am jealous of is the 3D cube and the window giggle-effect. It's pretty cool, but I heard you have to speak computer to use Linux. Too bad.

ubuntu, linux for human beings.
you should also be jealous of free software, no defrags, no crashes, smooth running, and more. even the computer illiterate can use ubuntu.

sniperboy102 2 years ago
No it does not. It has lower requirements than Windows Vista and the same as XP. If you have a really old one use Xubuntu as it has about the same requirements as Windows 2000.
If all else fails and you really want a Windows feel I suggest you use LinuxMint because it is really similar. And it comes with more drivers than Ubuntu.

Esto es lo mas sencillo que Linux/GNU puede hacer. Vean otros videos de esta distribución y otras como Debian, Susse, Mandriva, LinuxPCOS, Xandros...hay mucho donde elegir y todas realzan la capacidad del PC, ojala con una buena tarjeta grafica.

Unfortunately, if you want to remove Ubuntu from a windows dual-boot, you need a bootable windows disc for your version. OEM users will have to recover their windows or borrow a disc. I had to and I was annoyed.
sambo26394 3 years ago
Awesome man, which version is this? 7.04, 8.04...?
How do you do some of those effects, such as the grouping, file searching, and the magical pixel dust stuff when you close a window?
I have 8.04 with compiz and I can't find that stuff
Xaixis 3 years ago
you need to install compizconfig-settings-manager.
Open your terminal and write this:
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
then after the installation, go under 'system''compizconfig settings manager'
enjoy.

curahack 3 years ago
Yes, in fact, you can use it without making a single change to your computer! With the Live CD you run the OS off a CD, sure it's slow, but you get a good feeling of the system. Besides, you can install Ubuntu on one partion and XP on the other. That's how I went from Vista to Ubuntu.
