Just a short little video showing off some of the cool XGL/Compiz effects on my Kubuntu desktop. Can your Windows/Mac desktop do this? :)

  • I cant believe I'm finally doing it. i got parts coming and decided to save the 100 bucks by not opting for windows this time. So here i go , diving into Linux full time now. wish me luck.

  • they may be proud of what there desktop looks like, but besides the looks how about the fact that your pretty much immune to virus's

    the only thing windows is "better" at is crashing, and video games, and even Linux has wine to play those games.

    and dont disregard the fact that Linux is 100% free 100% of the time. LEGALLY!

    oh, and learn English you retard.

see all

  • Linux has a lot of great things about it, and so does Windows; I use both of them as I need too. However, as stated earlier, Linux does have some advantages that I rather like, such as, the source code of almost all programs can be retrieved and changed according to your need or wish. I like Linux more than Windows because it's open source, unlike in Windows. Windows has more programs too. If you want to bash someone, bash Apple, they're more restrictive than even Microsoft is!

  • I have to agree with Atkins. They are both tools. One's a screw driver, and one's a wrench. They both have their time and place to be used. Unfortunately most MS software is total shovelware. Shovel it out as fast as they can, who cares if it really works right. When you have people pay top dollar, I think you shouldn't put out shovelware. Linux and it's opensourcedness has a large community that can fix problems as they see fit and don't have to wait for one specific company to do it.

  • Yeah, none of the points you fault windows for are applicable to linux. It's not linux's fault, it's the third parties fault. Well, I can say the same thing for Windows. By the way, I use both. I'm posting from Mint right now. FUD is FUD, and should be done away with. Linux has good points and bad points, and so does Windows. It's not a black and white world.

  • Windows does not use assy Xorg. We all know Xorg is shit. It can't even send transparency over a network.

    ALSA has many layers and non of them work correctly. Pulseaudio is trying but still not good enough

    Support? Linux only has forums, and only a few distros have commercial support. The commercial support those distros have are piss poor.

    Windows can run apps that don't suck natively, like photoshop and ms office. Can Linux do that? Nope, and the alternatives suck.

    Linux lacks direction.

  • This is a little stereotypical. You can't say that all people who use Linux "can't take the truth" when in fact many actually still use Windows because of it's advantages. Such as gaming and the fact that there are more developers for Windows because it is more popular. This however, is at no fault of Linux. When you find me 5 points that make Linux worse than Windows (other than the fact that there are a wider variety etc. as that does not make the OS "worse"), then I will listen to you.

  • No, but there are such less that the chances of getting one in at least 4 years is extremely slim. Windows does crash, as does Linux, but Linux distributions tend to have a better way of handling crashes than windows does. Although I have never actually seen a Linux distribution itself crash, as in the window manager and everything, only one program. Which is more the programs fault that Linux's. At least try using Linux for a while before bashing it.

  • Exactly :D

  • hahahahahahahahahaha

  • Linux is so easy. What the fuck you talking about little boy. Simply if you need to do anything you must first recompile the kernel. Why? Just for the fun. Recompiling is to Linux has milk is to cereal. Next you must type in a long string of text resembling:

    fing -prtint0 *[02342a][234982]??_.?* | xargs -oi -print0 -J % rm %

    so fucking simple.
