Im not going to get into this little war that you are having here. All I will say is, i am a Linux user and loving it. It can be fully customized to fit you needs, cant find a program to do what you want, write one. On that note, Linux is not for basic PC users nor the PC novice. Its for people who want more out of their PC. Also, side not, This Windows you talk so highly about, actually stole its Graphical User Interface from Macintosh in the 70s and mac bought it off Xerox a short time before.
Linux is a piece of crap that copied Microsoft and Apple. There's a reason Linux is only 0.5% of the computer industry. PS guys: Linux stole Apple's desktop layout with Ubuntu
@Cotif11 Yeah it has 0.5% of MARKET SHARE! Since most linux distros are free, it is irrelevant to compare the computer industry since it's solely based off of market share. And linux stole apple's desktop layout? The only similarity I see in the desktop is the Unity interface, which is a lot different than the dock. Linux is in a whole different ball park compared to Microshaft and Apple.
@EatenSniperGuy oh yes, definitely. Free share ware is just the best way to go. Also have you seen Ubuntu's desktop? It has three circles in the top left corner just like Mac, and the symbols inside are: _ [] X just like Apple. And you're right, Linux is in a whole different ball park than Apple or Microsoft. See, Microsoft and Apple are in the Major Leagues, actually making money off of quality. Linux is in the minor league pretending that they'll get high in the ranks
@Cotif11 While the symbols are the same, it's not aqua like the mac. You can make windows do the same thing if you wanted to. Hell, you can make Ubuntu look exactly like mac or windows. But that's not ubuntu's fault. And just because the symbols look similar, doesn't mean the os is exactly. You know that mac app store? Well, ubuntu had that first. It was just called a software center. And ubuntu is a quality product. It CAN game (there are quality games just like halo and call of duty),
@EatenSniperGuy oh really? Halo? The Halo that, when it is sold on computers is only on Windows? Think, since Microsoft owns rights to Halo, and Bungie, why would they make it for a different system? Nice try making shit up. And you are saying Firefox crashed on you? Firefox is a browser, Google Chrome has crashed on me many a time, but never Internet Explorer. And Linux DOES have viruses, every OS has viruses, and Windows only has more than Mac and Linux because it's more widespread
@Cotif11 I said their are games for linux LIKE Halo. I didn't say halo does. And prove to me that linux does have viruses. The reason linux doesn't have viruses is because of more people using windows and programs. Linux doesn't use the same kind of java windows uses (linux uses OpenJDK and Windows uses Oracle Java). And linux doesn't use Adobe Reader by default. And Internet Explorer always crashed on me (I never used version 9 or 10. Just 8 and below).
@EatenSniperGuy exactly, see how many more programs, that are more advanced, can play on Windows and not. And I'll PM you two URL's, both showing, there ARE viruses on Linux, and that the CAN get viruses
@Cotif11 It comes with a free office suite, and guess what? NO MALWARE AT ALL! Macs do get malware like trojans and rouges. Do me a favor. Download Virtualbox (works with both Mac and PC), download Ubuntu, and try it out. If you don't like it, then try others out like Linux Mint or Fedora. Oh and BTW, ever since I switched to Linux, I have never had it even crash on me. When I was using windows, it was a normal thing to have things like Firefox crash on me.
Yea its such a good system does it have system restore or factory restore, even mac has time machine. Linux add one bad driver, oops you have to reinstall the whole OS all over again. Best security it says, like using the same password will stop anybody.lol Once u figired the entry password u r in. That means lil kids can tamper with it. What abuntu u hoped little bros, or sis get tired of entering it.lol
@linuxsucks98 barely anyone uses? man you don't know a goddamn thing about linux. special effects? you mean compiz fusion? by saying compiz slows down computers I'm guessing you've tried linux and were stupid to know how to use it and if you said it slows down computers I'm guessing yours was built in 1996.
Definitely not at it's full potential, not at all lol. Imo, I'm okay with KDE, but just the normal ubuntu has more potential. Besides, if theres something you like in kubuntu, like the "start" menu and whatnot, of course you can get it in ubuntu :p
And by potential, I mean, if you think this looks better than windows, then I just might have to put mine on YouTube lol
I've upgraged Windows for more stability, but I have found each newer version MORE un-stable. Blue sceen EVERY F...ING DAY! Next OS not be MS -loyalty only goes so far! (I'm using W7 on a 6 core processor - top shelf)
@myskillzownu GOOD call - my events to seem to be video related. Unlike earlier MS OS, detectve work on W7 is to difficult for me. Not a tech wiz nor average joe.
That could very well be it then. I built my own computer and I had the same issue. Companies seem to be using worse and worse parts for their products, and we are paying for it.
They really did make things a lot more ...concealed in Windows 7.
If you need any help you can email me @ myskillzownu [at] gmail [dot] com
I've upgraged Windows for more stability, but I have found each newer version MORE un-stable. Blue sceen EVERY F...ING DAY! Next OS not be MS -loyalty only goes so far! (I'm using W7 on a 6 core processor - top shelf)
this should actually be called "KDE and compiz is better than the windows GUI" if you were gonna show us that linux is better than windows (DOS) you would have to go more into things like speed, security, if the kernels are lightweight or not.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!! My Windows work fine. I clean them regularly. I maintain the tracks so they open smooth first time every time. I love Windows. They let the sunshine in...and my Windows are very secure. I have safety locks on them that I installed myself!
@mykylc lol yeah. People keep bringing up these errors from Windows that probably been fixed long ago just that they have outdated windows. I have Vista & I never had blue screen.
@TheDisturbedOne752 Well for one thing sure is that it is far more secure, stable, and can finish CPU Heavy tasks much quicker. It is also a superior server OS.
Plus Eye candy never hurt anyone. I find myself fiddling with these a day or two in a week...
@psihokiller4 to make a windows game work in Linux would take forever for one programmer no matter how good he or she is. One game could be millions and millions of line of code. I have no idea how to get it to work on wine though. I think Linux can do anything windows can do minus the restriction. I use Linux for the freedom. I don't know if Windows is better then Llinux performance wise. we would have to compare specific windows and distros for that.
@psihokiller4 I heard Windows 7 is better, but I don't expect Linux to be better it is free. When Linux is better at something then windows or mac I am amazed. I personal feel Os stuff is just about personal preference and taste. I rather become a programmer and make my own games then be locked in because of stupid DRMS from EA and ect. Some windows games say you must be on line etc play single player games. it like saying I am a house slave,so I am better then the field slave.
@psihokiller4 therefor for me, Linux is freedom and Freedom is better then slavery that equals Mac or windows. I like Mac and Windows, but this is the truth.
Linux is for shit pc's really (NOT SAYING LINUX IS SHIT GUYS) what i mean is that linux is quite powerful and makes old pc good to go. I dont like windows better then linux nor do i like linux better then windows. They are both have some really good operating systems.
So all linux can do is cool effects? I was hoping to like linux but apparently it sucks more than i thought. Can you do any ACTUAL work on it suck as iWork or microsoft office? And I know it cant do any games.... Seems like it REALLY sucks even more than windows
@rozziguy7 Well there's wine, but, that doesn't always work the best for some people. Then there's Open Office, but it's not as good a MS Office. I can do games natively, but not the majority of games. Switching to Linux from what ever OS your using just because of a videos showing Compiz isn't the brightest idea.
yea i would like to get new os but i have like 20 games made for windows i wish there was a computer that could run all my games and has really good preformance
I use Linux every day, but I can't use it with the special effects, I like a nice simple WindowMaker desktop with nothing flying to and fro.
I've used Linux, BSD, Windows, Mac and some other obscure things and while BSD is good, its not good on the desktop. I much prefer Linux to anything else.
This "war" between computer OS's is stupid nonsense fought by basement dwelling virgins while they aren't looking at porn.
"This 'war' between computer OS's is stupid nonsense fought by basement dwelling virgins while they aren't looking at porn."
BTW: I hate ALL computer programming. Did well in formal education only in C++ and FORTRAN, but never used it outside the classroom. Can NEVER remember a single command.
I'm MUCH more into handwritten mathematical proofs. I use a computer just to get by (email, porn, YT).
This is really just a graphical "presentation" and Linux is just a kernel (a way better kernel than DOS Windows as i've been told) and there is so many distros with diffrent graphical user interfaces than KDE (if that's what you'r using) but over all Linux is way better but i don't Think its better than Mac Os x but still a very good system (kernel)
@cr561979 Why the fuck is it always about money?? Software is not all about money. Linux was created to be free (free as in beer, not price). Need a fix for a problem in Windows? Sure you can search it up but if its kernel related, then you have to wait for M$ to come along and fix it up.
Right, the Linux kernel is more stable because its Unix'ish while the NT kernel was fucked up by it's birth and it would be cheaper to write a new one then fixing it.But Microshit will always rule because they can afford to stuff every single company on the planet.Google it up yourself why Asus has put it's (Linux) Instant boot technology on a freeze a couple years ago.Because they received a visit from Redmond ! Needles to mention, Novell received 250 Million from M$.
@cr561979 I know about the 5second boot up, me myself I have the P5Q Pro Turbo which has Express Gate (aka linux bios). Also the kernel, can be modified by ANYONE (hence opensource). Thats why ANYONE can make a fix, where as Windows is locked up (booo). Microsoft has most of the marketshare because they SELL their products (even though some linux distros are for sale. like redhat), plus there are TONS of laptops and desktops that come PREINSTALLED with Windows.
Yep anyone can contribute to the kernel the same way anyone can find a cure for Alzheimer given he has a university degree in medical sciences.Don't get me wrong i use Linux myself but it's far 2 complicated 4 the avg. user.There's a reason why people prefer to pay 4 M$ or OSX, it's because your mom won't know how 2 edit "fstab" in order 2 mount a partition.
@gabzee78 Linux is glad to not to have you as one of its users. You clearly have no idea, stop spitting crap, enjoy your bloated software and bluescreens. loL owned bitch, need some ice?
Every operating system has its advantages and flaws, i believe you should use what you feel comfortable with. But seriously, i have been using Linux for a while now and i am glad i made the switch to it. All the software is free, plus if you need a windows appliation, use virtualbox or wine. All the windows software i had i have alternatives to them, i find free = better.
You're almost as far from wrong as you could be. First is firefox, then ie8, ie7, ie6, chrome, and then safari... don't believe me? Type in w3schools browser statistics on google, it won't let me leave a link for some reason.
@murderslastcrow LOL exes, I want to compile exes, but Linux can't compile exes. And don't tell me to get virtual pc and run windows off of linux that would be slow than just having windows alone.
Yes I didn't take what you said into a lot of consideration about IBM and Google and everything else. I'm so familiar with Gnome and Linux I tend to relate open source to that.
I was just pretty fired up from what kossrifle had been saying. He was arguing but then later contradicting himself and didn't seem to sensible to me. It was just pissing me off. You bring a good point though.
only realy ppl wont use linux is they are stupid.. realy how hard it is to find proper drivers and compile crap. there is even guides online for linux they are easy as hell to understand, if you cant figure it out turn off your shitty win system and go find a bus to stand in front of.
While Compiz is really fun to use, it is hardly a reason to switch operating systems. It is merely aesthetic. Functionality is the greater factor of importance. To that end, that is where GNU/Linux shines.
For multi-tasking, Compiz is the far more efficient window manager, than Microsoft's own Desktop Window Manager. Aero Peek, Shake, Snap and Window Flip all pare compared to Spaces and the Cube. Sadly, folks don't really consider that. They just love the pretty effects of Compiz.
Looks nice what distro is that ? I have ubuntu 9.10 but i cant use it that much because my favourite game does not work with winehq but im still trying. Did a fresh install today
Hey retard, how bout you only run your mouth about what you know about. I use a Microsoft Bluetooth mouse, it was a gift, I did not pick to buy the monopolistic brand, I've never had a single problem. I use an apple keyboard, purely awesome, never had any problems. Sound always works.
Linux doesn't need .exes, they have better programs that are .debs, .tar.gzs. .rpms, so shut up and try to know what you talk about, cus little windows noobs don't know shit aobut LInux.
Mac and Microsoft hardware run with Linux too... I'm using a Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse and Apple keyboard both running flawlessly. My webcam intended for Linux worked without any type of tweaking. And not every piece of software is made just for windows lol... and music isn't targeted toward a specific OS. Linux runs more variations of media files then Windows.
I don't think you understand you don't really have to gear things toward an OS for them to work on it... I'm using a Microsoft Bluetooth mouse and Apple Keyboard because Linux supports them...
Yeah but more this come out only for windows, and more things are for windows than other any operating systems.
If linux were 90% I would only use linux based hardware. Go with the flow, there are more programmers for windows so the realization is that windows will have more stuff for it. More stuff = better exp.
I'm just going to use the better of the two operating systems (linux). The support for it is better. Also hardware is not microsoft based, microsoft hardware works on Linux as does Apple. And you assume Windows has more stuff, alright given they have a million IM clients and Email Clients, luckily I only need one. And everything is free on Linux.
Overall Linux better. I don't go with the flow, I go with what's better.
Okay, you're not using it for gaming or programming. Just for the internet, or server hosting.
I chose windows because it runs most of the popular games (exe). I don't want to use wine, if you use wine it's the same as using windows. For programming I can't test out any apps. (exe) So if you don't want to be current with all the new things that come out every year then that's fine. I though most people like new things, but I guess I was wrong.
I use Linux for programming and everyday stuff. Linux is more current than windows, it updates way more. I have more productive things to do then sit around on games, the ones I do play on occasions I use WINE for. Your wrong about WINE it isn't just like being on windows it is more reliable because it is not running on windows, plus it runs better, yes something tricking a program makes it run better because linux is better.
Don't make assumptions because you clearly have no clue.
I didn't say Linux was better in every way just most of them. Plus, Linux is recent, so I don't even know where your getting that load of crap. But for your examples above Linux is better in protection, game, portability, and speed.
You do not get what you pay for, you're just paying for an over-priced monopolistic operating system while I'm using a free community based system which is still updated more because the people behind it love what they do.
Recent has nothing to do with running exes or most people using it so your an idiot for that one...
And Windows is 90% while Linux is around 4% because Windows took IBM's DOS and made it MSDOS which was good, then they made the operating system windows which was the best operating system at the time, through all the monopoly and familiarness everyone started using that and now they don't have a
right, right, next you're going to tell me windows had a better product than mac at the time.
Windows wins because of simple applications that linux and mac tried to copy but failed.
Simple ones like wordpad, notepad, paint, config settings, ease of access, and many others. And the fact that exe are most popular, (even if you can use wine, it should come preinstalled, because people don't wan to install it.)
It's compatibility, not speed, not visuals, how many people use it.
At the time, those programs were better. Now they are worse than the others avaible, the only reason windows is still on top is because of the monopoly that Microsoft has set up. And Microsoft copies from mac and linux too, everyone borrows ideas so don't turn it around like mac and linux are thieves and your precious winblows isn't.
The only reason windows still remains on top is because of Monopoly. Linux (and mac) are better, end of story.
@h1ll37 Yes I am a user, do I care if an os copies? I'm just using my computer, browsing, playing games, chilling, do I give a damn if they copied? Oh! Look windows copied the clock from linux, oh they copied the search box from mac (windows vista). LOL if now windows sucks, shouldn't everyone be going back to their mac and linux? Everything's going to improve, sticking with a big corp. means that I'll have a better chance of getting a better os. Mac is great because you PAY for it.
@Kossrifle Novell and Canonical are the sponsors for Linux. You are wrong, again, there are funds.
Secondly, you are the one who brought up copying then you freak out because windows copies and you tried using it against Linux and Mac.
Lastly, The reason Linux and Mac are the minority, for the umpteenth time, is because Microsoft is a Monopoly and people have no other choice unless they are specifically looking for that.
I don't care if an os copies, I'm a user I just want to use the computer.
Sponsors, there are no legit programmers for linux.
I like monopoly. You're saying Microsoft got there by lies? It's been 20 years since linux and windows are together. Don't you think everyone would switch back the linux?
@Kossrifle Well earlier you tried to use copying against linux and mac, now your for it... your contradicting yourself.
Legit Programmers? The programmers for Linux, almost every single one, have careers in programming... they are legit programmers.... retard.
And no, I don't know how many times I have to say the reason that Linux isn't higher in the stats is because it is rather hard to find the exact computer you want preinstalled with Linux.
-.- Browsers come with operating systems, and Firefox is free, because they want you to get sucked into their products thinking their fast you you'll buy other products. (I use firefox)
Almost everything that came out open-source isn't as good as the products that came out with money, and hard time. :)
And maybe your right that most open source things don't come out as good as things with money behind them, but in the case of Linux it is better than Windows and Mac, and they have money behind them.
Linux has the strongest community to develop, promote, etc.
Windows is a poorly made Operating System that has only made it to where it is because of Monopoly.
Mac is better than Linux, they use the same unix-based interface.
LOL just say Microsoft has better marketing share ideas then linux or mac.
Windows may suck but the person who brought it out had some good marketing plans to beats all the other operating systems. Schools receive windows for free. Then when students grad they use windows because that's what they used first.
I program, so I stick with windows because I test my programs on the most used os so when I release more people can use it.
I don't think Mac is better than Linux, but the entire time i have been saying what you said about freaking windows and what it does... holy shit you're dumb to fight me on that the whole time now say it.
I can't even imagine the half-wit programs your produce.
@h1ll37 yea, firefox is far superior to internet explorer. as far as OS's go without the issue of driver issues or compatibility , my ranking for overall best systems are linux (free), mac os 10.6 ($30), and lastly windows going for around $100 for the upgrade and easily $200 for a clean install. i personally like macs as well because they have run great and are laid out in a straight forward way without a bunch of crapware.
Actually Krossrifle... I think you should give Linux Mint or Ubuntu a shot. Linux is only inferior to windows when it comes to gaming. (byproduct of marketshare). But its better for most other tasks. I just switched from windows 7 to Ubuntu. :)
WINE doesn't run all things your correct. It runs a lot of games rather well (Call of Duty 4) things like that, but it's probably best to use WINE for things Linux doesn't have an alternative for.
If you tell me what your trying to use in WINE i could probably help with alternatives?
@h1ll37 I can run all my games on Linux pretty well, with the exception of halo because it runs off direct x not open gl.
...there isn't really an alternative for programming, because I would like to reach out to the most used os so more people download my applications. Linux is great it just can't compile exes.
Well you can run things that use directx inside WINE. Look up winetricks you can install direct x inside WINE using that.
As for programming you could make the programs for all of the operating systems? I'd like to be a programmer and as of now I only know PHP (and html and css of course), but I'm only 15 plenty of time to learn ;P
I plan when i start developing to make programs for all operating systems, but I don't know much about compiling exes so idk what to say there.
@h1ll37 I mainly make offline programs, so there isn't a program extension for both windows and Linux, and since Linux can run exes, and windows can't run rpm, or dmg, I have decided to program for exes.
Linux is great for some games, movie editing, visuals, and is faster overall.
Windows is better because of MMS (majority market share advantage) but slower because it uses exe (exe have more and are slower), Still it's good to use Linux as my second os.
@h1ll37 They released a beta on their website, it's tar.gz but I used Linux to compile it to img, then used win32 img burner to my usb.
I couldn't compile img in windows but, I could in Linux, there is thing in windows can you do, and since most people don't program Linux is pretty good. Still MMS (majority market share) advantage still prevails.
I'll have to check it out thanks. And yeah I see your point. I'm enough of a Linux fan I'll be making programs just for Linux, unless hired to do other wise, which will be the way it is I'm sure.
@h1ll37 Linux is pretty good, but when people make you over estimate it, and when you do use it, it's not as good as you think. Linux is not the best for games, and windows is only good because of MMS advantage, seriously, if Linux was 90% I would use it...no problem.
It isn't that Linux isn't good for games, it's that the games don't support Linux, when they do, fully, Linux runs them like a champ. but Yes i see where you come from.

*Lunix users never have to reboot. ACPI problems prevent that...use the power-strip after a crash or shutdown.
*Lunix users get laid about as often as they have to reboot. And if they do reboot they will fall short before the actual action is carried out.
*Most lunix users secretly use Windows.
*When you use Lunix, you will become so frustrated that you will constantly fight with windows, mac, and even other lunix users.
*Lunix is "Free as in crap." You get what you paid for -- nothing.

While Compiz is really fun to use, it is hardly a reason to switch operating systems. It is merely aesthetic. Functionality is the greater factor of importance. To that end, that is where GNU/Linux shines.
For multi-tasking, Compiz is the far more efficient window manager, than Microsoft's own Desktop Window Manager. Aero Peek, Shake, Snap and Window Flip all pare compared to Spaces and the Cube. Sadly, folks don't really consider that. They just love the pretty effects of Compiz.

h1ll37 2 years ago
Lol I run wubi-linux myself.
Since windows owns 90% of market shares every piece of software (games, music), hardware (mouse, keyboard, webcam) comes out for the pc.
On the other hand linux or mac may not get some of that.
BTW the mac mouse and keyboard works with the pc (windows).
Kossrifle 2 years ago
Mac and Microsoft hardware run with Linux too... I'm using a Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse and Apple keyboard both running flawlessly. My webcam intended for Linux worked without any type of tweaking. And not every piece of software is made just for windows lol... and music isn't targeted toward a specific OS. Linux runs more variations of media files then Windows.

Yeah but more this come out only for windows, and more things are for windows than other any operating systems.
If linux were 90% I would only use linux based hardware. Go with the flow, there are more programmers for windows so the realization is that windows will have more stuff for it. More stuff = better exp.
:)
Kossrifle 2 years ago
I'm just going to use the better of the two operating systems (linux). The support for it is better. Also hardware is not microsoft based, microsoft hardware works on Linux as does Apple. And you assume Windows has more stuff, alright given they have a million IM clients and Email Clients, luckily I only need one. And everything is free on Linux.
Overall Linux better. I don't go with the flow, I go with what's better.
h1ll37 2 years ago
Okay, you're not using it for gaming or programming. Just for the internet, or server hosting.
I chose windows because it runs most of the popular games (exe). I don't want to use wine, if you use wine it's the same as using windows. For programming I can't test out any apps. (exe) So if you don't want to be current with all the new things that come out every year then that's fine. I though most people like new things, but I guess I was wrong.
Kossrifle 2 years ago
I use Linux for programming and everyday stuff. Linux is more current than windows, it updates way more. I have more productive things to do then sit around on games, the ones I do play on occasions I use WINE for. Your wrong about WINE it isn't just like being on windows it is more reliable because it is not running on windows, plus it runs better, yes something tricking a program makes it run better because linux is better.
Don't make assumptions because you clearly have no clue.
h1ll37 2 years ago
Okay so Linux is this FREE os better in every way (protection, game, compatibility, portability, speed) then windows?
Bullshit, you pay what you get for. Explain why windows still has 90%.
Linux came out before windows, Linux had 60-70% then when Windows came in it dropped to 20-30 then 1-2.
And if you run wine it runs just as much ram as it were to run a normal program on windows.
Windows is recent to the world, not to itself.
Kossrifle 2 years ago
I didn't say Linux was better in every way just most of them. Plus, Linux is recent, so I don't even know where your getting that load of crap. But for your examples above Linux is better in protection, game, portability, and speed.
You do not get what you pay for, you're just paying for an over-priced monopolistic operating system while I'm using a free community based system which is still updated more because the people behind it love what they do.

Windows maybe recent to the world... but guess what, so is Linux dumb shit.

You haven't answered my question, suppose there were this no problem os, fastest, and could run every ext. (exe, docx, txt)
Then why is it that before windows linux were 90-95 % users, then it dropped when windows came in? (windows 90%, linux 1-2%)
Explain, linux had many users, then when windows came it, linux dropped, and it stood that way for 20 years now.
Kossrifle 2 years ago
Recent has nothing to do with running exes or most people using it so your an idiot for that one...
And Windows is 90% while Linux is around 4% because Windows took IBM's DOS and made it MSDOS which was good, then they made the operating system windows which was the best operating system at the time, through all the monopoly and familiarness everyone started using that and now they don't have a

h1ll37 2 years ago
right, right, next you're going to tell me windows had a better product than mac at the time.
Windows wins because of simple applications that linux and mac tried to copy but failed.
Simple ones like wordpad, notepad, paint, config settings, ease of access, and many others. And the fact that exe are most popular, (even if you can use wine, it should come preinstalled, because people don't wan to install it.)
It's compatibility, not speed, not visuals, how many people use it.
Kossrifle 2 years ago
At the time, those programs were better. Now they are worse than the others avaible, the only reason windows is still on top is because of the monopoly that Microsoft has set up. And Microsoft copies from mac and linux too, everyone borrows ideas so don't turn it around like mac and linux are thieves and your precious winblows isn't.
The only reason windows still remains on top is because of Monopoly. Linux (and mac) are better, end of story.

Kossrifle 2 years ago
Firefox is open source.
And maybe your right that most open source things don't come out as good as things with money behind them, but in the case of Linux it is better than Windows and Mac, and they have money behind them.
Linux has the strongest community to develop, promote, etc.
Windows is a poorly made Operating System that has only made it to where it is because of Monopoly.
h1ll37 2 years ago
Mac is better than Linux, they use the same unix-based interface.
LOL just say Microsoft has better marketing share ideas then linux or mac.
Windows may suck but the person who brought it out had some good marketing plans to beats all the other operating systems. Schools receive windows for free. Then when students grad they use windows because that's what they used first.
I program, so I stick with windows because I test my programs on the most used os so when I release more people can use it.

@h1ll37 yea, firefox is far superior to internet explorer. as far as OS's go without the issue of driver issues or compatibility , my ranking for overall best systems are linux (free), mac os 10.6 ($30), and lastly windows going for around $100 for the upgrade and easily $200 for a clean install. i personally like macs as well because they have run great and are laid out in a straight forward way without a bunch of crapware.

@h1ll37 I can run all my games on Linux pretty well, with the exception of halo because it runs off direct x not open gl.
...there isn't really an alternative for programming, because I would like to reach out to the most used os so more people download my applications. Linux is great it just can't compile exes.

Well you can run things that use directx inside WINE. Look up winetricks you can install direct x inside WINE using that.
As for programming you could make the programs for all of the operating systems? I'd like to be a programmer and as of now I only know PHP (and html and css of course), but I'm only 15 plenty of time to learn ;P
I plan when i start developing to make programs for all operating systems, but I don't know much about compiling exes so idk what to say there.

@h1ll37 I mainly make offline programs, so there isn't a program extension for both windows and Linux, and since Linux can run exes, and windows can't run rpm, or dmg, I have decided to program for exes.
Linux is great for some games, movie editing, visuals, and is faster overall.
Windows is better because of MMS (majority market share advantage) but slower because it uses exe (exe have more and are slower), Still it's good to use Linux as my second os.
I tried chome os and it was amazing.

Ahh i see. where did you get a hold of Chrome OS? I've been wanting to try it.
But I see the problem. I didn't realize you couldn't compile .exe's in Linux.

@h1ll37 They released a beta on their website, it's tar.gz but I used Linux to compile it to img, then used win32 img burner to my usb.
I couldn't compile img in windows but, I could in Linux, there is thing in windows can you do, and since most people don't program Linux is pretty good. Still MMS (majority market share) advantage still prevails.

I'll have to check it out thanks. And yeah I see your point. I'm enough of a Linux fan I'll be making programs just for Linux, unless hired to do other wise, which will be the way it is I'm sure.
So you can not compile a .exe in Linux?

@h1ll37 Linux is pretty good, but when people make you over estimate it, and when you do use it, it's not as good as you think. Linux is not the best for games, and windows is only good because of MMS advantage, seriously, if Linux was 90% I would use it...no problem.

It isn't that Linux isn't good for games, it's that the games don't support Linux, when they do, fully, Linux runs them like a champ. but Yes i see where you come from.
