Is Linux as good as many people say??

[Iceweasel]

Obviously you either lying or your totally inept when it comes to computers. Which one is it?

Linux is inept, that´s all. Maybe, it is good for ultra-cheap notebooks.

Again, obviously lying or totally inept. Of course there's one other potentiality and that's you're a brainwashed Microsoft hack (the most likely potentiality).

Sure, everybody questioning your Linux eulogies is a Microsoft fanboy/goon/hack and whatever.

Now, its time for you to play your penguin jump'n'run that now runs two minutes without crash!

What crash? You've made your MS fanboy devotion clear many times here, now you want to pretend it never happened? Have some school kid install a Linux distro for you and check it out, THEN form an opinion.

No nonsense, please. You guys all have Windows installed, too. Because you cannot get along without.

Dumbfuck, I have XP on a partition on another computer that hasn't been booted up for a year now. And only because an expensive program I have needs it.

If I was a gamer I would get a X-Box or PS4 or gaming machine, I wouldn't use Windows for it. You have a choice too, but to tell people their choice is flawed and they can't live some other way is beyond stupid. You have deep seated psychological issues.

No nonsense, I have windows installed because I play games, period. If I didn't play games I'd have one of the best, most stable, highly polished OSs installed, Ubuntu or Mint (Linux). Both beat Windows hands down in pretty much every category. You Microsoft trained (paid?) bots wouldn't know that cause you're brainwashed or you've been brainwashed by those Microsoft bots.
The modern main stream Linux distros are not the distros of even just a few years ago, they've come a long way. Where some of the current issues with the newest computers/hardware is that Linux drivers have not completely caught up yet. Some of that is the developers have not written proprietary drivers yet for a couple of reasons, the primary 2 reasons for some are they have contracts with Microsoft (partnerships), self explanatory or they're focused on the primary market share first before writing drivers for Linux distros. It's not hard to figure out but considering the really small market share Linux has it's a wonder Microsoft feels they need to declare war on them. I wonder if Microsoft knows something you don't.......... Oh yeah, I forgot, Linux is gaining market share by leaps and bounds outside of the US......... Maybe that's why they've declared war.......

One thing that M$ is getting better with is setting up new peripherals though it can still take up to 10 minutes to load and configure say, a new printer. With Ubuntu and Mint it takes a few seconds and the hardware is up and running. Oh and Linux isn't spying on me (yet).
Linux is no longer just the OS of purists, enthusiasts and hobbyists, those people still have their favorite distros, Linux has gone mainstream and with (specifically) Ubuntu and Mint become more and more typical user friendly. While not all aspects of certain professional Open Office and LibreOffice applications are yet as good as or compatible with M$ Office the separation is rapidly closing.
Many companies that previously refused to write drivers for Linux with their hardware have changed direction. You see Linux users are finally being looked at as an untapped market and while yet comparatively small still comprise millions of people. Things are changing and yes, there's going to be ups and downs, stops and starts along the way, that's to be expected.
So basically stop your lying, stop your disinformation program and get with it or get out of the way.

Oh and in Windows 10 Home version M$ has made it so I can't run a Linux live CD unless I change code. Yes, I've followed the instructions to let it boot from CD....... It won't let me unless it's a Windows ISO........ Wonder why they did that.......

Sure, your mystic program. I don´t know what you are talking about. I think, if you wasn´t such a Linux fanatic, you´d found an alternative program on Windows if it is that important...

If I was a gamer I would get a X-Box or PS4 or gaming machine, I wouldn't use Windows for it. You have a choice too, but to tell people their choice is flawed and they can't live some other way is beyond stupid. You have deep seated psychological issues.

Sure, what ever. But you make people using Linux who after all see, that it cannot replace Windows.

There is a fix for that...it sucks, but works...if you need it I can find it...basically it is a teensy weensy bootable Linux you put on a thumb drive, it will scan your drive and M$ OS version and rewrite the code specifically to your system. Worked flawless for me

How does that even make sense to you?

I thought it was something in the EFI boot thingy that you need to set to legacy or something like that? No MS stuff on this computer and the one XP is one is 10 years old.

Not needed, I have an Ubuntu desktop I use so no need to dual boot. Now (in the near future) when my personal computer is no longer personal but simply just another dedicated Windows work station I'll dump Windows for Linux and will be done with M$ on all but my gaming desktop.

Hello everyone question i am wondering if the Linux operating system is as good as many people say it is many other people i have talked to both online & real life say it is better then Windows & works very well at least from there experiences i have used computers since late 1995 & all my life i have been ether a Mac or Windows person so i ask you guys today is Linux really a good system yes or no & what should i know & learn about it??.

If you like manual operation.......

No, it's all different now, M$ has made it much more difficult to dual boot or even switch permanently to another non-Windows OS.

My oldest son uses it on his gaming computer(Linux) but my younger uses Windows...Both work fine....

Both are good in their own way, both have negatives and positives, I just don't like the direction M$ is going with it's operating systems, for all intent and purposes turning the PC into a dedicated "work station".

You forget who your talking to Blie...Ringel said it succinctly and perfectly.
Modern distros are damn near flawless and will run on virtually any system you throw at it.
And 90% plus of virtually any peripheral not only "just works" but works without having to do anything - unlike with M$ you have to install a program that you don;t want in order to get the driver.
Just drop the clownish facade Blie...we use Linux, and have for years.

Much like Apple has done....The kids these days are mainly interested in STEAM....I like it also, but like I said yesterday to them, your screwed if they go out of business...

I neither care for nor do I refer to your Linux OS. Linux is not the problem. But you have a bunch of tools and that´s it. You must know, when ever Windows is attacked, the attack must have a cause. Some fastfood eating "Dumbfuck" sitting in front of his Linux, who uses the some standard hacktools.

The problem is that Linux is a community project. Very few commercial programs.

You keep saying it...but it still isn't true.
Like Ringel said, again and again, commercial developers are writing Linux drivers, installers etc. for most anything you buy.

Current devices will be instantly detected and installed on Windows. For extended functions and features or if Windows has no drivers for your device, there will be a driver and a tool shipped with the item.

I personally don´t deny the fact that the drivers for Linux must have programmers who made them.
