Video of Ubuntu Edgy Eft's (knot 2) stability/performance

I opened up 40+ apps all in quick succession to see if I could elicit a crash or slowdown. To my surprise, there was almost no slowdown at all and all the apps perfectly fine simultaneously! Big props to the gnome 2.16 developers and ubuntu devs for this huge boost in performance. Good sign of things to come!


Note: I have two monitors, so some apps show up on my second monitor and not the one I screencapped. All the programs ran normally.

this is a good guide, but it won't work with edgy. I had to comment out 3 lines in the source code to get it to work. Just keep compiling it, and every time it throws up an error with a line number, comment out that line. It's a hack but it works :)

btw my computer is about 3 years old, and Pentium 4 2.8 GHz with 1 gig of ram. Nothing too special.

Hey all, look at jonah1976 - what an idiot. Probably due to his age 33.

If you're born before 1980, there's no hope. institutionalised past the point of recovery, just like windows. (btw have seen windows 7 in action, one word, GAY!)

Another example of a misinformed idiot.

Windows vista was the worst move in the history of Microsoft! People go for either linux or Mac because those operating systems work and they dont work just only the dman machine feels like it!

those were replies to jonah1976's post, sorry.

WTF?

Most of us use Ubuntu because we consider it better than Windows, not because we "can't afford to purchase an Operating System". People who want Windows (or a newer version thereof) but can't afford it don't use Ubuntu: they pirate Windows. Most people don't even realize they're paying for Windows though; it came 'free' with the computer they bought.

I'd really like to know what makes Ubuntu an "oddball OS"; that is doesn't get virus and malware infections at the drop of a hat? :)

Why do what someone else has already done? watch?v=TtuIc5V9kcs

If you are so poor you can't afford to purchase an Operating System, you have other issues that are more important right now, like improving your education. If you are in dire straights financially you can still use free software without having to use an oddball OS. There is a massive amount of open source and free ware programs available for windows, and I don't mean command line only programs.

When you post a video of Windows opening the same amount of programs (that can be idling) with absolutely no slowdown/crashing, then tell me I can get a legal and fully functional copy for free, I'll be impressed.

[jonah1976]

WOW. You open a bunch of programs that sit idle doing nothing. My god, I'm amazed at the raw power!

Non - Linux Game Makers. Linux has about 30 Million users, Windows has 90% of the market and almost 100% of the gamer market so :/ Don't blame the makers.
