@FenrirLupus I agree with the points on mac, and I know that windows is better for gaming, but people need to realize how gaming capable macs are. I know steam has more variety on windows, but OSX has much anything I could ever want at this point.
@Arrakhis something cannot be more customized, you could say that it is more customizable, but that would be untrue in the case of XP. And linux is last in terms of gaming, Mac is not an operating system, it is a brand of computer. Thats like saying my operating system is dell. It simply doesn't make sense. Much like the rest of your argument.
@Arrakhis customizable definition- can be modified to suit a particular individual or task
Nowhere in there does customizable mean that there are less crashes. And even if it did, your statement wouldn't be true. When you say other os, what do you mean? The only other operating system that matters is OSX (that's what it's called, by the way) and that has far less crashes then XP and Linux. Go learn about the basic advantages and disadvantages of the operating systems before you try to talk
@Arrakhis a mac can play any game currently out. Macs can install windows via the bootloader that comes free in osx, and play any games that aren't compatible with their native os
@brainslurper Stop taking everything he says so literally. Linux is not an operating system, it is a kernal. XP is not an operating system, Windows XP is. There, now I can be a comment troll too!
@Chintendoeddman If I pointed at your computer, and said the operating system is dell, I would be retarded. Operating systems like ubuntu are of the linux kernel. As for the xp thing, if we are discussing operating systems, any computer literate person would know what I am referring to when I say xp.
@brainslurper Any computer literate person would know that a mac refers to Mac OS X ( and they would know the "X" is the roman numeral for "Ten"). When someone says "a mac" they would know it is a computer. Stop being so uptight and snooty on terms.
@Ucsemis Well seeing that I own both a macbook pro (17") and a copy of windows Vista I seem to have proved you wrong. If Linux cost something you would have said different. (PS, Windows Seven is a service pack for Windows Vista).
@Galforg That claim is very, very interesting. And by interesting, I mean untrue, and by untrue, I mean you are a stupid fuck that needs to learn about hardware AND software, and how they interact with each other in the different operating systems, and then go and learn pretty much everything else about computers.
@FenrirLupus Overall I agree, but there are many people who can't afford a Mac. My hope is that Linux will become user-friendly enough for anyone to run, which is essentially the concept behind Mint I believe.
Instead of an attractive brunette to personify Linux they should have used a dirty neckbeard. Keep in mind I type this from my laptop with Arch x86_64.....
Would've been more accurate to have some fat, smelly neckbeard horking his inhaler and regaling them constantly about how they're both evil and he's the epitome of freedom...until they both get tired of it and work together to beat his fat, pimpled ass.
Just because it's free doesn't mean it's bad. In fact it's actually very good if you know how to use a computer well or you're willing to learn a new OS. Most newer linux distros are pretty user-friendly so you don't even have to use the command interface for most stuff.
Saying something sucks because it's free is extremely ignorant (Firefox, AVG, Adobe Reader...all very popular and all free).
@MagicRevealer09 Are you trolling sir? Linux Mint is 100% better then Mac, there's not one redeeming quality Mac has and as for Windows, the only problem is Nexon games in which case you can just run W/i/ndows off of VMware. There's no reason to use anything else unless you like viruses.
@FluffyLizards HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA nexon. Why the fuck would you want to play something by nexon, when windows and OSX can run steam and battle.net games natively.
You know what else is free? Consensual sex. By your logic, the only way to get good sex is to pay some ugly drug-addict hooker. Free doesn't mean shit.
i recently got a new laptop. It came with Windows 7 and frankly telling-i was not impressed.

n the field of animation and visual effects, most high end software, such as AutoDesk Maya, Softimage XSI and Apple Shake, is available for Linux

Since then major studios like Dreamworks Animation, Pixar and Industrial Light & Magic have moved to Linux. .. 95% of the servers and desktops at large animation and visual effects companies use Linux
Yes, but you and every one else in the world use Linux every day ,and don't even know it... Even Google runs on Linux server, and many of the web servers are Linux, or BSD...
Actually, none of those programs use linux, they use network servers running C++ based programs. Linux is only used by hackers and lazy bums who cannot work on their own OS and network servers. Besides google runs its own server based on windows c++ tech.
How about the "Google's Linux cluster" ? and Almost half of the 20,000 employees of Google use Goobuntu... Goobuntu is the unofficial name of a Linux distribution based on the 'long term support'-versions of Ubuntu...
The PS3 was made to run Linux... DELL makes Linux laptops.
Dell is shit though... there computers have so many problems its not funny. I would know first hand i own one. The battery doesn't hold a charge and the internal mouse doesn't work and it is really slow but part of that is from a small hard and vista slowing down the systems potential
Why do you hate Linux ? You must be a Mac user right ? Maybe you hate it because it's so much like Mac OS... maybe you hate it because Linux compiz fusion Looks better than Mac Spaces... or maybe you don't like it because it's free and better than Mac OS... maybe you don't like it because it is a Unix-like OS just like Mac OS... But most likely you have never used it, and have no clue how to use it.
Agree linux is GUI bla bla but to know these things you have to go to forums and net to understand the stuff. You just cant play around in linux to find out how stuff works.Why we cannot instal two three packages at single time ? Why the default interface is so sick that we have to customize it.
Linux isn't ready for anyone who actually uses a computer for more than browsing internet. It is extremely annoying to actually install anything on linux (why the fuck do i have to type in the terminal this isnt the 1980s) and finding installtion instructions is a pain in the ass, too. Now I admit I'm new to linux, but that is the point. I'm new to linux, and linux is extremely difficult to use for people who are new to it. I want a mother fucking autorun installer.
The question is for me "What haven't I had a hard time installing?" I tried installing winrar, I tried installing indeo codec codec, I tried installing an msn clone, I tried installing drivers for my graphics card, I tried installing my printer. The only things I got to install were the dvd codecs, Opera, and auto updates from linux themselves.
Why would you want WinRAR for Linux? If you don't like terminals, I don't see why you would install a terminal-only application. The standard File Archive and 7-Zip are far better.
MSN Clones (e.g. aMSN) can be installed via respositories via a few clicks. GPU drivers can vary but Intel and Nvidia's are rather easy to setup (i.e. Ubuntu will normally alert you of the availability of newer restricted drivers). Printer support varies.
I tried 7-zip. I prefer winrar, but for Linux i have to make concessions. Thanks, but I can see Linux will probably never be a main operating system for me.
Because I don't know what a package manager is. Like I said I'm new to Linux. And most people use on windows go to Google and type in the software they want in there.
The package manager in Ubuntu is Synaptic Package Manager which is accessible from System -> Administration. There isn't much you HAVE to do from the terminal. When people give advice, they often provide terminal instructions (unless GUI-support is requested) because there is minimal room for the person to miss up (i.e. it is hard to mess up on copy + paste whereas GUI instruction can vary based on desktop environment, release version, custom settings, etc.).
umm... yeah. we only suggest you use the terminal because it might be quicker than going through everything else. there are simpler ways, but they take a hell of a long time....(for me)
Let's admit you want to install a program. On Windows you have to run a browser, use google and find a website to dl it. You cannot be sure it's secure so you use an antivirus. Then you install it and it says you need framework or so, then you go to google etc. Later you have to verify if there is updates, and manually download it
On Linux, if you use apt you type : apt-get install program. It will download it, install prerequisites, do automaticly updates and it's secured.
well today in Ubuntu (most popular dist of linux) you dont have to use the terminal at all, installing programs directly, from both internet and synaptic or add/remove programs..
In windows you have to install the drivers BEFORE plugin the printer.. then plug it.. configure it .. test it, configure , etc.
In Linux you only plug it ..and thats it , in 80% printers it will install itself without further intervention.. (and almost all of the rest 20% are Canon wich doesnt support Linux because Canon doesnt want to release drivers or add any Linux support)
ATTENTION!!! why do Microsoft Windows ahve to fight with mac if they can just understand that some people like windows and that some people like macs and that some people like linux which i have never used and i can never find pics of linux docks or window boxs displays so yeah.......why cant they just settle with that people like these things and people like those things and im trying to choose whether i should get a mac or windows laptop cuz im gonna get one sometime soon....
uhhh these commercials are made by mac (i dont mean this specific one cause it's a spoof) so basically it's not windows that's trying to fight mac it's mac that's trying to fight windows...
Because Apple released a ton of commercials for many years (or decades) insulting "PCs" which were usually targeting either MS or Windows? MS only started releasing their own commercials relatively recently which still don't directly criticize Apple unlike the Apple ones which attack MS a few times. These commercials specifically are made by Novell endorsing Linux. I have my old Linux desktop posted here. If you wish to see a dock specifically search Cairo Dock or AWN.
Good question. Why has Apple been making anti-PC ads since the early 1980s then? Business competition is often dishonest, and most people have no clue about either type of computer.
meh- its does have mainstream media its full of all those people screaming linux is the best you all suck, also these appear to be forum whores. and while 30 million is good...nowhere near mac or windows and its not growing as fast either
Well you should know that Linux is not some big corporation or something like that, it is based on it's community, and mostly, it's community is the only one that advertises it.
Its awesome considering it has no publicity.. shops dont force you to use it (like Vista wich came in almost all modern computers whatever you like it or not) and most programers doesnt care about Linux because they are "brided" by Microsoft and only program games and soft for windows...
And then are all those lies and confussion about old Linux wich have little to do with today distros..
And even with those brakes it has 30M users, and the most powerfull computers in the world run Linux
First of all it pisses me off because all computers are PCs or Personal Computers. These are Operating Systems people it has nothing to do with the hardware, at least not anymore. So your are either a Windows, Mac OS or Linux Person but not PC. Microsoft loves to keep this myth alive.
If you where not illiterate, then you would realise in the Mac vs PC advert they are referring to PC as every other OS and Mac as the opposition on it own.
I do not waste time on answering nonsense but I feel compelled to write a rebuttal to your comment. If I were illiterate, then I would not be able to write a comment and you do not need to be literate to watch the Mac commercials or understand them. You are stating the obvious that they refer to every other PC as every other OS. Since Mac switched to Intel microprocessors, all computers are the same hardware so all can run every OS. Thus Windows is not defined as PC even though the ads say so.
Either a personal computer is a private computer instead of a public computer or a personal computer is a custom computer you assembled from hardware and other components you handpicked yourself instead of an already assembled computer sold bundled with software. In the latter case, the commercials make perfect sense save for the false advertising.
Ahh. 30m in 7 years. thats about 4,2 m a year. And if that guy was right about 500m microsoft users then in 30 years microsoft has gained more users 16,6m a year. Thats about 4 times more a year :p
Anyone want to point out the fact that a Linux usually uses a PC and a MAC can run windows now... so saying that Linux and PCs are mutually exclusive is a falsehood, aspecially when you in the same 55 second video says that MACs and PCs are mutually exclusive... the Older guy would have to be Windows, the younger guy MacOS and the chick thats Linux would be some sort of Quad-Sexual... (at least more the bi-sexual as you can get linux on more then 2 types of computers..)
yeah but only 3% of the microsoft computers takes up the big job like runing servers( database like ebay,facebook,amazon etc). ~Linux is still great since the cost of only one server can buy about 100 or more PCs.
Dell for example will recommend Vista,xp,Winnt but will never recommend Windows servers. the standard of computing in higher learning centres like universities is still linux, and student who own PCs have to download a program that give them a linux interface on there PC.
I think, big Corporate are the prime example to let you believe Windows are the best and safest, but you know I think that just bull, cause how many virus and spyware have there been not to mention hackers, but if you see here Mac is a much more safer for avoiding all those threat I've mention,even Linux in other hand are in better position for guarding those, just look at IE08 for e.g it full of bugs
2) it's possible to format windows to look like os x, and it's possible to install os x IF they have all the right hardware. also, most people that install it on windows computers are chumps and don't research anything, resulting in alot of failing software.
lynix is spelled linux
its does not mean it is
linux doesn't lack any features, it's open source.
linux doesn't actually lack any feature. there's a linux alternative to everything you do with a mac or a windows pc.
what happens is that to get those alternatives up and running it takes a bit more time and patience than the "point-and-click" method we're used to with windows and macs. but that's rapidly changing with linux distributions like ubuntu, that are much more user friendly than what we're used to see.
also, as kids today are already born in front of a computer, we can expect older people in the near future to be at least a little bit more skilled with computers than today's 30 plus year-olds. so they might be more open to learning linux than they are now.
and schools are teaching kids to use compuers very early, and many choose linux because of the cost, so i'd say linux has a very promising future. it may have a market share bigger than macs one day, and without all the advertising.
I am being sarcastic. People always tell me that everything runs on Linux or that there is an alternative to every program for everything you do (this is what you said). When I show them 6 different research programs that I use daily for my research and how no alternative exists they don't really have much to say. Some of them speak about emulation but I really don't see the point in switching to Linux if everything I have to do needs to be emulated in Windows at a slower rate.
with windows you can run alot of games and other apps but you cant realy use mac apps. with mac you can do basicly the same thing exept you can run windows apps with bootcamp.
linux can run windows and mac apps and is way more stable then mac or windows ppl that say linux suck are just mad becuse they dont no how to use linux

Well that makes windows users about... 1,401,692,307 (or 2,336,153,846 if you use the lowest number predicted by you previuosly on this page)
SOmething you blissfully leave out is how many people START using windows everyday, lets see how those match up? (I obtained these figures from wikipedia, they show that 91.11% of OS used on desktop are windows and only 1.95% are linux)
I'm sorry, but you're not supposed to steal someone's idea for an ad, especially a company's idea, and use it against them and then go and put it on youtube.

But most likely you have never used it, and have no clue how to use it.

Linux isn't ready for anyone who actually uses a computer for more than browsing internet. It is extremely annoying to actually install anything on linux (why the fuck do i have to type in the terminal this isnt the 1980s) and finding installtion instructions is a pain in the ass, too. Now I admit I'm new to linux, but that is the point. I'm new to linux, and linux is extremely difficult to use for people who are new to it. I want a mother fucking autorun installer.

What have you had a hard time installing?
LordDestros 2 years ago
The question is for me "What haven't I had a hard time installing?" I tried installing winrar, I tried installing indeo codec codec, I tried installing an msn clone, I tried installing drivers for my graphics card, I tried installing my printer. The only things I got to install were the dvd codecs, Opera, and auto updates from linux themselves.
PasswordOVER9000 2 years ago
Somewhat of a delayed response o.O.
Why would you want WinRAR for Linux? If you don't like terminals, I don't see why you would install a terminal-only application. The standard File Archive and 7-Zip are far better.
MSN Clones (e.g. aMSN) can be installed via respositories via a few clicks. GPU drivers can vary but Intel and Nvidia's are rather easy to setup (i.e. Ubuntu will normally alert you of the availability of newer restricted drivers). Printer support varies.

I tried 7-zip. I prefer winrar, but for Linux i have to make concessions. Thanks, but I can see Linux will probably never be a main operating system for me.

Why do you use terminal? Almost every distribution have package manager nowadays.
destroyerko 2 years ago 11
Because I don't know what a package manager is. Like I said I'm new to Linux. And most people use on windows go to Google and type in the software they want in there.
PasswordOVER9000 2 years ago
The package manager in Ubuntu is Synaptic Package Manager which is accessible from System -> Administration. There isn't much you HAVE to do from the terminal. When people give advice, they often provide terminal instructions (unless GUI-support is requested) because there is minimal room for the person to miss up (i.e. it is hard to mess up on copy + paste whereas GUI instruction can vary based on desktop environment, release version, custom settings, etc.).
LordDestros 2 years ago
@destroyerko Because if you know what you are oing it's faster and easier. Plus package management has nothing to do with a GUI.
grama47 1 year ago
umm... yeah. we only suggest you use the terminal because it might be quicker than going through everything else. there are simpler ways, but they take a hell of a long time....(for me)
fitzydawg 2 years ago
Terminal is better.
Let's admit you want to install a program. On Windows you have to run a browser, use google and find a website to dl it. You cannot be sure it's secure so you use an antivirus. Then you install it and it says you need framework or so, then you go to google etc. Later you have to verify if there is updates, and manually download it
On Linux, if you use apt you type : apt-get install program. It will download it, install prerequisites, do automaticly updates and it's secured.

Because Apple released a ton of commercials for many years (or decades) insulting "PCs" which were usually targeting either MS or Windows? MS only started releasing their own commercials relatively recently which still don't directly criticize Apple unlike the Apple ones which attack MS a few times. These commercials specifically are made by Novell endorsing Linux. I have my old Linux desktop posted here. If you wish to see a dock specifically search Cairo Dock or AWN.

Good question. Why has Apple been making anti-PC ads since the early 1980s then? Business competition is often dishonest, and most people have no clue about either type of computer.

If you where not illiterate, then you would realise in the Mac vs PC advert they are referring to PC as every other OS and Mac as the opposition on it own.
Mac vs Everything, not just Windows.

I do not waste time on answering nonsense but I feel compelled to write a rebuttal to your comment. If I were illiterate, then I would not be able to write a comment and you do not need to be literate to watch the Mac commercials or understand them. You are stating the obvious that they refer to every other PC as every other OS. Since Mac switched to Intel microprocessors, all computers are the same hardware so all can run every OS. Thus Windows is not defined as PC even though the ads say so.
eitthvadannad 3 years ago
That's not possible.
I mean, they say that PC is not safe, get viruses and stuff like that.
But Linux doesn't get viruses at all.
adlermf 2 years ago
That depends on how you define personal computer.
Either a personal computer is a private computer instead of a public computer or a personal computer is a custom computer you assembled from hardware and other components you handpicked yourself instead of an already assembled computer sold bundled with software. In the latter case, the commercials make perfect sense save for the false advertising.

Dell for example will recommend Vista,xp,Winnt but will never recommend Windows servers. the standard of computing in higher learning centres like universities is still linux, and student who own PCs have to download a program that give them a linux interface on there PC.

1) learn to spell.
2) it's possible to format windows to look like os x, and it's possible to install os x IF they have all the right hardware. also, most people that install it on windows computers are chumps and don't research anything, resulting in alot of failing software.
lynix is spelled linux

linux doesn't actually lack any feature. there's a linux alternative to everything you do with a mac or a windows pc.
what happens is that to get those alternatives up and running it takes a bit more time and patience than the "point-and-click" method we're used to with windows and macs. but that's rapidly changing with linux distributions like ubuntu, that are much more user friendly than what we're used to see.
threehitswonder 3 years ago
also, as kids today are already born in front of a computer, we can expect older people in the near future to be at least a little bit more skilled with computers than today's 30 plus year-olds. so they might be more open to learning linux than they are now.
and schools are teaching kids to use compuers very early, and many choose linux because of the cost, so i'd say linux has a very promising future. it may have a market share bigger than macs one day, and without all the advertising.

I am being sarcastic. People always tell me that everything runs on Linux or that there is an alternative to every program for everything you do (this is what you said). When I show them 6 different research programs that I use daily for my research and how no alternative exists they don't really have much to say. Some of them speak about emulation but I really don't see the point in switching to Linux if everything I have to do needs to be emulated in Windows at a slower rate.
