Linux will never dominate the market - why?

Because you need brains to set it up...

Conclude the rest..

no OS X didn't have virtual desktops before.. but with leopard they copied it and called it "spaces"

[good0enuf]

What kind of computer specs do you have?

[qxxx]

i would love to use linux, not just because of xgl.. but there many hardware problems, my printers and wifi are not compatible.. or the replacement cups-drivers for other devices sucks... i think i have tried every distro since 10 years, (except debian, but ubuntu is kind of debian)..

Pal, if your wireless don't work, use ndiswrapper; use your windows wireless driver as a last resort! it really works, i promise. And try gimp-print

hey look! stuff mac users have been doing for years! way to keep up on the PC side.

I didn't know OS X has a 3D desktop for years...

[cciRRus]

I am refering to the 3D spinning cube virtual desktop. You can see it in action in the video from 0:53 onwards. Seriously, this is really useful and I really don't think OS X has this feature yet. In fact, OS X doesn't even have virtual desktops and require 3rd party software to do this.

It's planned for leopard (10.5)

[kroneage]

You have a great setup. More Winblows users need to get their hands on a computer with Xgl and Linux installed! It makes Vista look like Kindergarden stuff! And is just plain faster cleaner and more useful than Steve "MonkeyMan" Balmer and Bill "Duh.. Can't Recall" Gates's Creamatorium OS will ever offer! With Windoze the public still doesn't realize they've been burnt royally. But Soon! ;)

*Yes "darkangelos" it works in KDE as well!*

Linux is a good, but it's not for everyone.

I like to keep both on seperate partitions, linux for surfing the web and doing things that require a high level of security, and windows for everything else.

Linux may one day be mature enough for every day all around use, but not yet.

Yeah cause looking pretty is all its about. Man linux rocks for looking pretty! But GOD DAMN does it ever suck for doing anything but programing and hosting servers. Is there any os in the world that does games, graphics, audio and video software worse than linux? Sure you got some decent stuff for it there, but windows and mac do all of the above better. But hey, they dont look as pretty. Least you got a nifty console to run everything from and make you feel all 1980's retro kool :P

[ronnysoeberg]

Yeah but surfing the web is sort of a given :) I was thinking more in the lines of software for recreational or productive purposes :) I never said linux don't have it's uses either, but as a main desktop operative system it's just as far off now as it was 10 years ago. I just dont see the revolution that linux people have been talking about the last 10 years. I've heard them say "in 3 years, linux is going to dominate the market" for over a decade now.

I've got XGL installed in my SuSE and is great. Can you tell me how did you make the video??? Thanks

[darkangelos]

Nice... how is computer?.. (XGL works in KDE???)
