@marko18413 You have to give them props for it being free, and all though it's not as good for business it's pretty damn cool. Also why would you come on a Ubuntu video to talk about Windows?
@KrAzYMaSoN99 I agree, 200$ for windows 7? Really? Even though I did purchase it, I knew it wasn't worth it. Something like this is perfect for the average joe
@lpwarrior3 Opinions. Some like Windows, others Mac OS, others Linux. This is why I like Linux - you have a choice. Instead of being stuck with Windows or Mac OS, you can try out other OSs to see what's better for YOU. You're the only judge; try it out, see if you like it, heck you can even boot it side-by-side with Windows or Mac OS. But if you're leery on it, get a free ISO, burn it, and load it to try it out.
@lpwarrior3 best to worst Mac, Windows, Ubuntu. Mac for the lack of viruses plus its really fast & easy to use. Windows because its just the standard for computers and its simple to use and to do what you want with it. and Ubuntu is last because it is pretty complex to use, if your an expert in IT maby Ubuntu is for you, but otherwise i wouldnt bother
@AOESQUAD how isnt it? most applications people will use will be designed for windows (mac have their own versions for most) so you have to use wine to get lots of things working
so i can install ubuntu and keep my original opereting system? or I HAV 2 MAKE A new partition or i must hav a addicional harddrive to install it or, omg i got confused!! XD

I typed " compiz" but nothing appeared! And also I select to show me all of the applications. And I also typed "advanced desktop settings" but nothing appeared :( I want these effects and I like them can you help me? :)
Awesome, I'm typing this comment through the Ubuntu demo. Anyways, does anyone know how to enable the 3D driver needed for the effects? When I ask Ubuntu to do it the download screen starts and finishes but nothing really happens after.
i just got a new gaming rig. i have NO operating system for it. i need wndows 7 for it to use all its power i think :P but i really don't want to go out and buy it. can i use Ubuntu for gaming ?
@MrsRandomMadeMeDoIt Ubuntu alone won't play all Windows games. You need Wine. Or if you need a lot of Windows apps, you need to dual-boot or have virtualization software.
Wow, Ubuntu is great. Today i was complaining how XP was being a bitch and being slow. So i just ( like 10 minutes ago ) got Ubuntu. Its Smooth, looks great and easy to use.

@Mariuspersem ubuntu 9.10 is a mess, i have asked alot of ubuntu users and they all didnt like 9.10, try 9.04, its supported until october this year, or u could upgrade to 10.04 LTS, or u could wait until 9.04 support is dropped, 10.10 will be out in october so...
i used to have windows 7 on my laptop dicided to try ubuntu and let me tell you it looks really nice but its like being on xp again so slow and you know when you move a window around and the traces follow its horrible takes long time to load things. but enyway thats my opinion it might work good for you just didnt for me good luck!
i am using win xp my C drive i have three more partition fat32 format. now i install ubuntu 9.0.4 in my D drive the problem is ubuntu not showing my all partitions. Any one help me bec i am using 1st ubuntu
Can someone tell me how to get this running on an Acer computer with Vista.. i have tried several different methods.. booting from a virtual drive, burning a disk.. (not sure how to make a live cd) even tried using Wubi.. every time it only gets to 47% partitioning.. and goes no further.. am i supposed to partition before i install? or am i doing something wrong.. I dont know how to run the disk at start up.. i can only do it by running the disk in windows and rebooting from there.
@Basedeath All you need to do to make a live cd is burn the image to a disk with the proper software. ImgBurn works well for this, just be sure to select "Burn Image", NOT "Burn Files".
I put Linux on my computer, it cleared the whole partition, then I put Vista on it, then when I did my windows 7 upgrade, I could no longer access the daul boot system. Anyone got any advice?
@FromyColdeadHands get easybcd or supergrubcd or just use a livecd and reinstall grub or you can use easybcd to add an entry to the windows boot manager
@dano555666 Ubuntu is great. It's much more secure than Windows, and because it's open-source, if there is ever a bug found - it's usually fixed before the bad guys have time to test it. If you are an intermediate user, you will have no problem using Ubuntu full time. For beginners, it does require some occasional tweaking which may require you to use the command line (terminal). But it's great!
@VideoGuyNC Ubuntu isn't safer then "Windows" first of all you didn't name any Windows version, second of all Linux distrebutions are just less common then Windows distrebutions (speaking from the numbr of users) witch means there are far less people writing viruses or trojans for linux, same goes for Apple operationg systems
Nevertheless ubuntu is a great OS, soipped using it thow due to ATIs bad driver support, its reccomandable for people with older ATI gpu (older then HD 3xxx) or Nvidia gpu
@Raffix394 I didn't cyte a specific version of Windows because Ubuntu is more secure than all of the windows versions. The reason is 2 fold. 1) it's open source, and there are thousands of developers working and tweaking the code all the time, and fixing problems before they have time to be exploited. 2) The Linux structure is just more secure from the ground, up. Windows is designed for flexibility which means it HAS to have more vulnerability to allow for flexibility.
I wasn't clear with some things. Synaptic is not only a search app tool, but think of it as a very advanced add or remove programs tool. Not only doest it give you a list of every official program, but you can even add links to it to add more programs. For instance. I use xbmc as my media center of choice. You will need to add this link to synaptic and then you will be able to download and install it.
The best thing to learning linux is actually playing around with it will looking up info on the offical ubuntu forums site. Without playing with linux you will never get to understand how great linux (ubuntu in this case) is. But if I am around, and i see people with comments I will try to help.
Basically Synaptic Package manager is an updated list of currently available packages (programs) that you can search through. Trust me there are more then you can shake a stick at. Check out the ubuntu forums to get a general idea of what you are looking for, or even synaptic will give you a small description about that package.
There is software called wine (free version) and cedega (paid for version) that is a library of the windows api and used to install windows based apps. Now, not all games/apps will work under wine/cedega. I can tell you for sure that world of warcarft works perfectly for me. Remember every pc is different so it may not be so perfect for you.
Also don't forget that linux has their own games like alien arena, sebastian (spelling?), nexius, etc.
I will try to answer some of these as i been using ubuntu since version 6.04. I also been using redhat and the new distro from them fedora core. Well not that new, but anyways.
You can use some normal progams like limewire yahoo messenger, adobe reader etc. But do know that this is open source so it is best to use open source apps like open office instead of microsoft office. And best of all, open source apps are free.
@scotv453 Open source applications are always free (libera), but do not have to be free (senkosta). They are always free as in freedom, but not free as in free beer. Aurdor 2 for Mac OS X is not free of cost, you have to donate at least one dollar to acquire it.
Not being rude, but as a seasoned linux user....uh, I already knew that. My conversation was based to new users. So the MAJORITY of the open source are free for purchase .
Thanks for the open source definition though, but 9/10 times, if an app costs there will be another that can do almost, or more of, the same thing for free of cost..
can you use normal programmes such as after effects. msn messenger and all them . or do they only work if the producer of the programme makes an ubuntu compatable version?
@TechHelperx in standard ubuntu comes with a program called empathy, you can use google talk, msn and yahoo accounts on it and a good proggram for after effects would be wine
the other important thing .. lets say that u my friend r playing 4 example RE 5 pc ver .. and suddenly for some reason .." KABOOM " u have a virus from i dont no .. u name it and u the system needs 2 formate NOW .. so win on ubuntu is mooooore safe than the original one take it as easy as it and be a flexible person and try it .. just give it a shot u r not gona lose any thing its for free .. i wish u good luck
there is some way my friend .. one of them will be the " WINE " other one is virtual box winch can activate XP , MAC OS X .. but trust me there is a way .. as long as there is a shell .. there is a way
I 2nd that - you can always find a way to do games. Unfortunately I'm still in dual-boot mode because I also use my laptop for DJ gigs, so unless someone knows a sure fire way of using Virtual DJ, Hercules DJ Console RMX controller and ASIO4ALL drivers without any latency and full blown sync between Virtual DJ and iTunes...yeah - haven't solved that workaround yet! Mixx just doesn't cut it for me :-)
I just installed ubuntu 9.10 as a second OS and I have to say it's a very interesting expereience. You are correct when you say it has a learning curve, and I would say that it's pretty large. From the first looks at it I'd have to say it's going to be a fun ride. lol
tried opensuse.the network manager crashes,dont like the green theme,I tried ubuntu gnome,crashes and dont like the brown.I like linux mint the best,whoever put this together outdid themselves it rarely crashes.
I tried mint. Its not a distro at all because its about 90% Ubuntu.
All thats different is its got the mint theme and a different task bar.
Thats about it. It's nice but in reality all that's happened is Ubuntu was made in Britain and an Irish man tuck it and made it more stylish by default. The idea with Ubuntu is that it is flexible so it will install on a low spec system. Thats why the default Ubuntu style is so basic and perhaps (Ugly).
ubuntu 9.04 has many memories for me :D

Nevertheless ubuntu is a great OS, soipped using it thow due to ATIs bad driver support, its reccomandable for people with older ATI gpu (older then HD 3xxx) or Nvidia gpu

@Raffix394 I didn't cyte a specific version of Windows because Ubuntu is more secure than all of the windows versions. The reason is 2 fold. 1) it's open source, and there are thousands of developers working and tweaking the code all the time, and fixing problems before they have time to be exploited. 2) The Linux structure is just more secure from the ground, up. Windows is designed for flexibility which means it HAS to have more vulnerability to allow for flexibility.

or you can dual boot windows and linux with Wubi Installer. Google it.

I wasn't clear with some things. Synaptic is not only a search app tool, but think of it as a very advanced add or remove programs tool. Not only doest it give you a list of every official program, but you can even add links to it to add more programs. For instance. I use xbmc as my media center of choice. You will need to add this link to synaptic and then you will be able to download and install it.

The best thing to learning linux is actually playing around with it will looking up info on the offical ubuntu forums site. Without playing with linux you will never get to understand how great linux (ubuntu in this case) is. But if I am around, and i see people with comments I will try to help.
scotv453 1 year ago
Basically Synaptic Package manager is an updated list of currently available packages (programs) that you can search through. Trust me there are more then you can shake a stick at. Check out the ubuntu forums to get a general idea of what you are looking for, or even synaptic will give you a small description about that package.

There is software called wine (free version) and cedega (paid for version) that is a library of the windows api and used to install windows based apps. Now, not all games/apps will work under wine/cedega. I can tell you for sure that world of warcarft works perfectly for me. Remember every pc is different so it may not be so perfect for you.
Also don't forget that linux has their own games like alien arena, sebastian (spelling?), nexius, etc.

I will try to answer some of these as i been using ubuntu since version 6.04. I also been using redhat and the new distro from them fedora core. Well not that new, but anyways.
You can use some normal progams like limewire yahoo messenger, adobe reader etc. But do know that this is open source so it is best to use open source apps like open office instead of microsoft office. And best of all, open source apps are free.
scotv453 1 year ago
@scotv453 Open source applications are always free (libera), but do not have to be free (senkosta). They are always free as in freedom, but not free as in free beer. Aurdor 2 for Mac OS X is not free of cost, you have to donate at least one dollar to acquire it.
josephschwenker 1 year ago
Not being rude, but as a seasoned linux user....uh, I already knew that. My conversation was based to new users. So the MAJORITY of the open source are free for purchase .
Thanks for the open source definition though, but 9/10 times, if an app costs there will be another that can do almost, or more of, the same thing for free of cost..
scotv453 1 year ago
can you use normal programmes such as after effects. msn messenger and all them . or do they only work if the producer of the programme makes an ubuntu compatable version?
im new to this... thanks

@TechHelperx in standard ubuntu comes with a program called empathy, you can use google talk, msn and yahoo accounts on it and a good proggram for after effects would be wine

there is some way my friend .. one of them will be the " WINE " other one is virtual box winch can activate XP , MAC OS X .. but trust me there is a way .. as long as there is a shell .. there is a way
nipponnoshashin 1 year ago
I 2nd that - you can always find a way to do games. Unfortunately I'm still in dual-boot mode because I also use my laptop for DJ gigs, so unless someone knows a sure fire way of using Virtual DJ, Hercules DJ Console RMX controller and ASIO4ALL drivers without any latency and full blown sync between Virtual DJ and iTunes...yeah - haven't solved that workaround yet! Mixx just doesn't cut it for me :-)
djstoltz2000 1 year ago
u no .. people should change to ubuntu
why ? " VIRUS "
SO
linux family are the best ( fedora - mint - kubuntu - ubuntu - red hate .. etc )

Linux is from people to people its gives Choices and have no limits .. just have Patience to learn it

I just installed ubuntu 9.10 as a second OS and I have to say it's a very interesting expereience. You are correct when you say it has a learning curve, and I would say that it's pretty large. From the first looks at it I'd have to say it's going to be a fun ride. lol

try linux mint.
MrTabby5000 1 year ago
@MrTabby5000 Tried it.
Its not bad but im using ubuntu.
Might try opensuse
STOPTHEEU 1 year ago
tried opensuse.the network manager crashes,dont like the green theme,I tried ubuntu gnome,crashes and dont like the brown.I like linux mint the best,whoever put this together outdid themselves it rarely crashes.
MrTabby5000 1 year ago
Are you crazy???? You can change the colour of Ubuntu to anything you want! Mint is Ubuntu based anyway! Thats probably why its doing so well.
STOPTHEEU 1 year ago
I dont know,but ubuntu and suse is very ugly.kde mint blue is very pretty.
MrTabby5000 1 year ago
The defaults are ugly but who uses defaults?
Ubuntu is basic when you install it because its designed to run on any system.If your system can handle more give it more!
STOPTHEEU 1 year ago
ubuntu and suse also crashes.
MrTabby5000 1 year ago
No computer doesn't crash
No computer doesn't get viruses
I have seen windows crash and get viruses. In fact iv lost count.
Iv yet to see Linux crash or get a virus. Isn't it strange that this one is free and the other is so expensive?
If you can get a VW polo for £3000 or an Aston Martin DB9 for free which do you pick?
STOPTHEEU 1 year ago
linux mint is a good distro,better than ubuntu and opensuse.
MrTabby5000 1 year ago
I tried mint. Its not a distro at all because its about 90% Ubuntu.
All thats different is its got the mint theme and a different task bar.
Thats about it. It's nice but in reality all that's happened is Ubuntu was made in Britain and an Irish man tuck it and made it more stylish by default. The idea with Ubuntu is that it is flexible so it will install on a low spec system. Thats why the default Ubuntu style is so basic and perhaps (Ugly).
You don't have to stick with the default theme!
STOPTHEEU 1 year ago
@STOPTHEEU i'd stick with the db9 ... and ubuntu never crashed for me and i saw my windows crash on the first logon
