You should update your joke book at least once a decade, son.

Microsoft marketing TOOK OUT blue screens because it was causing too much bad publicity. Thats why when the new versions of windows shit the bed they just reboot automatically.



NO MORE BLUE SCREENS!

I do. I haven't used Windows in close to 10 years.

Fincially motivated malware doesn't target Linux, much like investment bank fraud doesn't happen in the Harlem ghetto.

So there we have it, folks. The reason Linux will always be relegated to the dungeons of basementdwellerdom can be seen right here in this thread: Every single bug encountered in a Linux distro, regardless of whether it is due to something simple such as drag&drop or something more complex like replacing the UI, devolves into rounds upon rounds of name-calling, finger pointing, insults, and "not it".

Oddly, tho, no windows user in this thread ever admitted Windows has bugs and crashes as well.

It's not a 50/50 chance like in Linux. You can also easily roll back, not search a forum for some assholes to tell you to RTFM before finally downloading some source from a european site, recompiling it, changing a conf file, running a command, etc. to fix the problem.

sorry, but if you find that basic stuff difficult you shouldn't even own a computer.

Of course all software has bugs, it's just with linux there still seems to be problems with the basics.

There's plenty of help to get within message boards. I've been using ubuntu since version 9. I like the fact that if I have a bad file all I need is a internet connection to repair it. I don't need some cd and a access code or someone elses to hack in order to fix it. I like the fact that libre office is built in. I like the fact that software sources is easier to use then regedit.

Windows 7 I think is actually kinda decent...but why pay for software at this point? Yes there are some higher ended products out there. Final Cut Pro on a mac is nearly $1,000 for the software alone.

When i try to use Linux it always ends with editing strange text files in /etc. I had problems with ISDN cards and audio cards. Low resolution of the X desktop. Not being able to start VNC server before login. Pictures looking bad in Firefox. Mice not working. Difficult to change to scandinavian keyboard. You have to be very lucky to get DVB-S2 and video capture cards to work with linux.

It's always stupid, niggling problems that plague linux on the desktop.

Just out of curiosity, why would anyone want to?

Computers are a tool, not a hobby, Mr. Neckbeard.

Then why replace Unity with Gnome?

Ubuntu was the only shot linux has or ever will have at normalcy.


The ubuntu foundation got loaded up with mac fags, who instantly derailed ubuntu's success and turned it into a useless piece of shit with a Mac color scheme.


If you are still tinkering with it on a desktop, please kill yourself. Use something else FFS. If you really actually need linux for something, then you should be running a headless server with webmin and putty.

In other words, Shuttleworth decided to create a Trev-hostile version of Linux that would appeal to mere mortals.

Sounds like Ubuntu is doing exactly what they should be doing.
