who thinks all schools should be running ubuntu? why waste our tax dollars on an licencing an OS that makes bill gates richer when we could use a free ones? thumbs up if you agree

[unlokia]

You crazy man... it DOES run executable files, just not EXE format!.

20 years later on linux and red hat, suse, ubuntu, are still making the same mistakes, it frustrates me. Your supposed to learn from your mistakes but these distros just seem to push it under the carpet and ignore it. I seriously dont think they will ever get it, in fact there going to destroy there distro unless they deal with the issue. Slackware and Gentoo solved the problem but its not user friendly.

[f1r31c3r1]

@genomastergenomaster I agree with you totally. kedenlive, webcam over messengers do not work well they ish work but they dont work work. The linux desktop fully lacks advanced functionality. The kernel and terminal are perfect but the desktop usefulnesses especially in video editing weather for youtube vids or anything like that just does not work work. You still need to be a developer to get these adv features working on the linux desktop and that dont happen on pre-compiled ubuntu clearly

[f1r31c3r1]

well its 2012, revisiting this vid and ubuntu is failing. In fact the ubuntu package team either dont know what there doing or are deliberately causing ubuntu to fail. Weather you like it or not you can not make a generic pre-compiled kernel to run on all hardware out the box unless you use the auto-probing module loader which ubuntu has not done any considerable work on. Little work on wine, little work on webcam drivers and software, not even any work done on instant messengers adv features

IT'S THE GAMES STUPID! ;)

i finally migrated from m$ to ubuntu for over a year now.

some profis at the office will need a better offer from openOffice and such stuff...

but at home most people will want to play games! :D

The brave Penguin is looking terrific. But kids want to have fun and the little penguin must learn to play with the young.

[genomastergenomaster]

@Dreamdancer11 Indeed. Even if there are some linux alternatives, those alternatives don't worth the migration. for example in the case of video editors.

[Dreamdancer11]

@GenoSkill Of course its not linux fault.But the fact remains that its not happening so i as a user who wants to get work done wont favor linux over another os..and thats the cold hard truth.Whats the point of having a tool that doesnt do the job you want.Even if its free its useless.Plus the amount of time dedicated to set it up..isnt free.Its certainly fine for some things but not all.Linux users look the other way when something isnt working and their excuse always is that is free.....

[GenoSkill]

@Dreamdancer11 ask that to the fuckers that own that software (cubase, 3dstudio, and all that shit) to port that to Linux. It's their responsability to make them "native".

[Dreamdancer11]

When linux runs professional apps natively and stable like photoshop cubase 3dstudio max etc etc...then it ll be a serious player.Wine is more unstable from the real windows and runs pretty much whatever it feels like.So for real tasks with serious apps is useless.It offers amazing things for free but if those amazing things wont help you get the job done then they are useless...

@TheXanderDude Wine is bloat

[TheXanderDude]

@egadw not really
