Linux Commercial

[BrokenHorn90]

The computer exploded in midair :O Only Windows could have done this.

[codeinjection]

no wonder that computer bsod, just look how loose the components are !

[amaranthflavius]

this must be very old.. kde 3.1 lol?

[animaulet]

GNU/linux or gtfo xD

[313hummer]

love the terminal...but dont really use it in ubuntu 11!

[supergenius1994]

don't fear the penguin... love the penguin

[wordreet]

Hey! I'm old, but I'm not terminal yet! X¬D

.

I've used Ubuntu for nearly 5 yrs, and probably use the terminal about 4 times every 12 months.

.

I will never pay for software again.

[NauticalDisaster]

What's really tedious is the amount of time I had to put into fixing small problems in XP and Vista.

[wslx0195]

@NauticalDisaster I'm positive that I've put more time into fixing linux than I have ever put into fixing MSDOS all the way through 7, including 95. Linux is far from stable. When people say that it is 'stable' they boast about their "uptime". But hey! That's what linux is "all about". I agree that it's a great concept, and I used to love linux and being a part of the community. I was a part of the Fedora Dev team btw, as a packager and bug tester. I just want something that works now.

[pcgod8]

@wslx0195 I agree. Windows just works. Linux works if you want to take the time to make it work. They really need an extremely user friendly Linux distro with an extremely well designed GUI. Ubuntu is a nice first step, but it's far from achieving that goal.

[xyzoneon]

@pcgod8 Funny. The other day I installed windows 7 and it didn't "just work". I had to hunt down a bunch of drivers, configure the sound, and do a bunch of stuff just to get it to do more than what it did "out of the box"; that being opening internet exploder with transparent title bars. That's all you may need, but many others need more. It takes time and work to get windows to work.

[pcgod8]

@xyzoneon I have news for you, every operating system requires drivers. If the drivers aren't included with the OS or downloaded automatically, you're going to have to hunt them down. This is as true for Linux as it is for Windows. It's even true for OS X, but mostly only if you're installing it on non-apple hardware.

[xyzoneon]

@pcgod8 Your reply doesn't refute the invalidity of the notion that "windows just works" which you made.

And of course linux has drivers, but they are included by default the vast majority of the time, so what's your point?., If not they're either some kind of winhack which suck anyway, or they're experimental drivers under development and typically will arrive by default in time. The point is linux strives to contain every usable driver possible, while in windows it's 3rd party driver chaos..

[elfirebrand]

@NauticalDisaster haha true, i formatted that goddamn win7 like 5 times in 8 months.

[samosval92]

I dont fear penguins i fear Alien.s

[ducksaj]

@RetroShinigami yes I know "wine" very well, but it can´t run that and many others games....but I could instal even ofiice 2003 and I have been trying to run chessmaster 11th I had no success. (chessmaste 10th it´s ok on wine)

[ducksaj]

ok, linux is so great, but how about to run a ChessMaster 11th or fritz 12, for exemple??? Could someone help with it??

[mysql123456]

can it run Pro/E, Eolid Works? Solid Edge? UG? Mathcad? Autocad? does it support my programmable keyboard or my 3D mouse? no? didn't think so...

[Rickyhi100]

dont fear the Penguine!

[Damatelon]

I cant wait till Linux 3.0 ^^

[jason3259]

mac :}

[Q7R43]

haha nice : )

[MajesticTwelve571]

I have one reason for running windows. Any and all decent PC games are written using the MS Windows API, and I dont feel like learning how to reverse engineer that into a linux Kernel.

[XxeghoffxX]

@MajesticTwelve571

you could use wine, it lets you run a lot of windows games..

[JordanMaster22]

Easy! Install VirtualBox and install Windows inside VirtualBox. You can even integrate the desktops.

[MagicMushroom89]

I prefere GNOME

[hackwithcamstudio]

agreed

[hiMoleculoman]

armagetroooon!!!

[sharethesorrow]

don fear the penguin!!!!

[pacorocks1]

i hump it in frusturation

lolllollol\

[14shieldne]

don't fear the penguin!

[Juanc4rl0s]

that's right! =]

[NADstudio]

what is that game at 00:15

[caioskywall]

I guess it is GLtron.

[spikespeigel]

they should call it GNUtron haha get it? like neutron :P

[ibloxProductionz]

Armagetron Advanced :-)

Its for windows too.

[Flikkermodel]

Armagetron Advanced

its for mac too...

[bmxbike525]

MAC FTW!!!!

[Juanc4rl0s]

u got it wrong, its MAC FTL!!!

[linuxuser21]

On the PS3. lol Cookie?

[xXFullmedal57Xx]

question. WHERE ARE THE GAMES? answer that and you get a cookie. (just wait, it will get to you at some point.)

[jupiter1716]

In your goddamn package manager!

[bluebutdude1]

um windows xp runs tons of stuff not made by microsoft,

mac os only runs apple shit

[NeUxBlu]

mac os is overpriced unix

[JAY019xJAY019]

Pfffft. Use both KDE and Gnome Apps, on a fluxbox desktop :P

[westcoastblunt]

Not gaming!

[Sekinto]

This commercial made me chuckle, good job.

"Hug your computer!" =D

[BUDA20]

Don't Fear the Penguin???????

marketing Zero!

[czochraniec]

I am sick and tired of Windows, but not as much, as I am sick and tired of videos trying to prove that Linux is the best thing that happened to human kind.

[unberyl]

but it is =). there can never be enough videos about linux. that is just too much for your brains to understand why.

and there is no need to "try to prove", you idiot.

[czochraniec]

Since when are all people with opinions different from yours idiots?

[GOLDENEAGLE20012]

gnome  better

[Ezcut]

lol , I love tux

[scilonthreat]

Kernel 2.6?!?!!?!?!

[staberas]

i prefer gnome

[TACA520]

[hahahha he made himself look like a dumbass]

like you motherfucker like you stupid ass fuckyou

[dmcemmet]

KDE 3.1 - so many good memories :)

[141007]

Don't Fear The Penguin!

[TACA520]

you stupid fatass dont throw my windows is better than linux sucks stupid linux comeon use windows when you have a powerful CPU you could use winndows xp,and vista better but fuck linux it sucks f-a-t-a-s-s

[modmadmike2]

hahahha he made himself look like a dumbass

[TwosComplement]

you obviously have no idea what you are talking about... Linux runs faster than windows, is free, and can have the same specs as any pc running windows... I bet you don't even know what CPU means.

[landiatico]

Dude, you realy don't know about OSs, neither security, scalability or performance, please don't post if you haven't done your homework

[marcie234]

I use Ubuntu. But anything is better than windows.

Linux FTW, Windows FTB.

[holymonkey3]

lol i use kernel 2.9 now!

[magerpkerboy]

lol 2.9

[holymonkey3]

seriously! oh, have i said it wrong? is it- hold on, it is, wait, i don't know!

[avenuePad]

To 1SSmileDude1:

That game is Armagetron Advanced. :) Download it and go to Swampland Mudpuddle. Much fun. :)

[1SmileDude1]

What is that game at 0:15 ?!?! I been play that when I was little! Now I can't find it on Internet!!!

[mcowain]

i do more than just hug mine....

[smo7an]

you don't say :D

[11do11]

don't fear the penguin

[insanity54]

I run ubuntu. I do hug my computer! Great Video!

[Elevationary]

i notice that alot of linux commmercials is about destroying windows software and windows hardware,i can understand why people get pissed off,if you are going to install windows,make sure you have zone alarm,and a Anti spyware application,because spy ware is the biggest cause of windows problems,the other problem where windows suffers the most ,is its registry table,if you are going to fix the registry table,do it in safe mode with the a utility package,it stops the conflicts,firewall,hardware.

[Elevationary]

can any one tell me what is the best linux operating system,there are a lot out there,there are at least 10 different linux operating systems,i have Ubuntu,but im having problems installing beryl,and i am not too sure if linux firewall applications will run on Ubuntu.

[EliteTempleton]

Elevationary, Are you on the current version of Ubuntu? There is not one best, as they are designed with a specific reason in mind. Ubuntu is designed for users that are new to Linux and are used to Windows. It does have good community support, which can be important when picking a distro unless you are an advanced Linux user.

[mcowain]

You sound like your new to Linux, so yeah stick to Ubuntu or Kubuntu 8.04 for now, or maybe give Mandriva or Fedora a go. There are a lot more than 10 distributions of GNU/Linux, closer to 350 of them. Gentoo is kind of considered "the best", as it is compiled from the bottom up making it more stable. But you will find most distos are more or less the same with minor differences, just experiment and see which one suits you.

[Redix2004]

This type of advertisment make you feel as if linux has no value in itself, its only value is that is Microsoft's competition.

This is not promoting linux, this is destroying it.

[artisart]

salvage the parts and make it a linux box

[M1cR0S0fT4Ev3r]

OK that was just cruel!

Shitty Commercial!

[GNUjjwol]

KDE 4.1 is best i ever found with plasma and oxygen theme

[jmm1233]

lol , love that bit at the end :)

i use sabayon for almost a year now , best operating distro i found , i can even take it with me on a usb key and when i am my friends or at a public network cafe i use the live version of sabayon when everyone else is using windows ,

[ortlikasealion]

Hmmm... You guys still using the terminal? Time to let go. Yes Linux is getting better, hot chick, but users are all working way too hard to make an OS work for them. The terminal's been around for over 27 years, but seems it's to be the flea Linux can't shake. I thought computers were made to make our lives easier? I'm no Mac fan, but I get why they're extra creative - more damn time, less terminal. Oh yeah, Ubuntu's 8.04 LT outs today, think there will be any typing? Can I get a "Hell yeah!"

[obsidianreq]

Not much typing for a default install, which most users will use. There's a full package manager, so little or no terminal use is required.

[rubberbandiv]

In Xubuntu 8.04, I could if I wanted do everything I needed to do (other than running physics simulations in ROOT, but most people don't need to do that) without opening a terminal window once. Download and install software through Synaptic, and it's automatically added to the menu. I actually do most of my work through the terminal, though - it can be considerably faster if you know what you're doing, and you don't have to switch between mouse and keyboard.

[int3rl0per]

The terminal is something you'll miss when you actually learn to use it.. For a desktop user just looking to browse the web, read e-mail and play a game of solitaire, it's pretty much useless. For a coder or systems administrator working with a huge network, it's an invaluable tool.

Just because you don't need a CLI for starting up Counter-Strike in Windows (or whatever you kids today play), doesn't mean it's antiquated or in need of dumpage. Shit, even Windows Server has a CLI as a Feature...

[billybobjoe198]

It's now Counter-Strike: Source. Get with the times.

[supergenius1994]

@ortlikasealion the terminal is what makes linux awesome, it saves time, and it allows you to communicate complicated commands to your computer in a much better way, most people need to realize that just because it is text based does not mean it isn't a thousand times better than the more gui based operating systems, you can't judge a book by its cover

[sanderd17]

@supergenius1994

Well, I agree that the command line is handy. But in recent linux distro's almost everything can be done with the GUI just lik in windows.

Linux has changed a lot since this video.

[wslx0195]

@ortlikasealion YES. Exactly. I don't need to say more about what you said because this is well put! I'm sick of using a modern linux OS and having to use the terminal to do anything lower level. It's not "difficult" or "tidius" but it's annoying to know that after all these years, FOSS developers can't spend a little more time and effort making more complete GUIs so that the user can spend less time working with the OS, and more time working on their projects.

[NauticalDisaster]

@wslx0195 yes...tidius.,.

[wslx0195]

@NauticalDisaster tedious haha

[nieknooijens]

@wslx0195 get a modern distribution. and if you think you know what it takes to make it better, you can join the development team. we make linux together, and if you think there's something wrong than you can help us by fixing it! that's what opensource is all about isn't it?

[UltimatePisman]

@ortlikasealion In my opinion, Terminal is easier. I mean, which of the following is faster? 1. Open Terminal. 2. Type in "sudo apt-get install name". 3. Type in your password. 4. Wait for 15 seconds. Or: 1. Open Ubuntu Software Centre. 2. Search for "Name". 3. Double-click it. 4. Click install. 5. Type in your password. 6. Wait for 3 minutes.

[handofstand]

@ortlikasealion The terminal is necessary. But you technically can install Ubuntu and install all of the software you need through Synaptic and never have to even look at a terminal (unless you elect to click that little arrow while it's installing the packages (to show you Apt, working)).

[Mystro256]

@ortlikasealion Haha, I don't use the terminal because I have to, but because I'm cool like that

[idstealth]

@ortlikasealion Embrace the Terminal! After so long, it is still Linux's most powerful tool. Why shun it because it is intimidating? Once you are familiar with it, it can be faster than any GUI.

[TheFear434]

Dont fear the penguin haha xD

[psassaki]

Ough ...

I hate KDE

To me KDE is the worst desktop !

These big icons, I really prefer Gnome,

It's more compact

[enarab]

you should check out kde 4.1 in about 3 months

[psassaki]

i checked it, yeah the Kde is beauty than the previous version, but the big icons for me it's just ugly

[dannybellako]

i agree, i hate KDE, Gnome is allot better :)

[rubberbandiv]

*cough* xfce > all

[dannybellako]

i haven't tried xfce so i can't say anything about it :D....is it good?

[rubberbandiv]

It's quite pretty, but really the reason I like it most is because it uses quite a bit less resources than GNOME or KDE. My laptop was a bit clunky running GNOME, so I switched to xfce for my desktop environment and it runs like a dream.

[dannybellako]

nice, ill give it a try :D i think ill like it cuz im all about performance, not to much about GUI or eyecandy, and u said it looks good 2, so i will try it :)...and thax for da info

[emotoiletfish]

agh i have a windows and non stop for tha last hour it has been opening the most random programs!!!! AGHH stupid windoWs!!!#

GET LINUX ALL

[kingofwar2469]

but, not many things work on linux.

[pentyado]

not true, just do your research before comment.

[kingofwar2469]

well, i did research..lol..and i geuss you could use WINE?

[metardedgeneyassjr]

I used to be a Windows User until My Windows XP Lost all its Data =( But then my Grandpa gave me a copy of Kubuntu and I have been a Linux Lover ever since then! =)

[zachy12341]

all computers suck. it doesn't matter who they're made by, they fail at many things. yet we rely on them so much.

and windows is compatable with many programs. it's apple computers that exclude most non-apple things.

i currently have windows vista, and i'm VERY happy with it. it's being run on an HP laptop. the computer itself is the thing with problems. i'd say that vista is nearly flawless.

[zachy12341]

you forgot the part where Linux freaks out and crashes and deletes everything in your computer.

it WILL happen eventually.

[VillageSouls]

Actually, I use Linux and it has NEVER freaked out and crashed and deleted everything on my computer. The closest thing to that is the "kernel panic" which is the equivalent of crashing, but it does nothing to your data and most likely not your file system. Just grab a LiveCD and retrieve your files from the disk. And this probably happens on an UNSTABLE kernel mostly. I have a guess you were using an unstable distro, of bad reputation for stability distro.

[n00bf4rm]

have you used linux? It is the most stable OS hence the reason most servers use some distro of linux.

[zachy12341]

i don't own linux, and i'm glad for that.

i have just heard of MANY reports on the whole "crash-and-delete" thing.

[n00bf4rm]

lol once you have used linux, and not only for a couple days/hours, can you come back and run your ignorant mouth about linux and the "crash and delete" i have used linux for 5 years now on various computers, and various distros. I have ubuntu on my desktop and vista on my wifes laptop i have had more problems with vista than ANY other OS i have EVER used.

[DartzIRL]

I use Xubuntu...

It works.

I am happy.

That's all that matters
