Thread: CMN goes Linux

This thread is a perfect example why most users should stick to Windows, and not move to Linux

A perfect example of your "constructive" posts.

You know Butterfly I disagree. If you compare like with like installing a new operating system onto a system then with windows your going to have some problems as well with drivers and connecting to a network etc. If your user is a complete newbie as well then they are always going to ask questions.

I was offered a free copy of Vista and turned it down because I just didn't think it was reliable enough. I was a windows programmer when I worked in the UK and everyone of the guys I worked with hates Vista. XP is OK but for browsing, wp, spread sheets and web developement Linux is better. The only problem I have with it is it does not run Adobe photoshop / Illustrator. I don't care what FF says The Gimp is a pile of arse.

Overall these days I think your better off in Linux, if your starting from scratch, or have a good understanding of computer science.

If you are an ordinary computer user and you don't like computers that much and have always used windows then maybe stick with it but you may be going up a dead end street.

Will it not work through wine?

that's a very interesting comment, and one that might push me out of windows.

What? The fact that a complete imbecile like CMN can install linux and all the basic applications he needs without any problems at all is a reason to stay on windows

Yes, it was surprising to see that.
With such a huge Linux userbase here, there ought to be more Linux problem threads..
Oh, now I see, you dark siders do them all in one single thread

Writing's on the wall, lom. Better dust off that CNE, dump your MS stock and get a real job!

^If you stick to a stable version of XP, it's an OK operating system.... I just find it a bit boring and all the newer versions seem to cause no end of problems.

Not at all, but fed up with a crappy expensive operating system who comes without any usable software apart notepad. A crappy web browser, and what more ? Ah yes, explorer.

Install a GNU/Linux distrib and you will get thousands of free softwares and get rid of viruses and other malwares who like to sit in your windows system.

Teakdoor is maybe not the right place to ask about your Linux OS problems, every distrib has a very efficient forum (Ubuntu is one of the best) where you can find answers to your problem just using the search tool.

In my case I rely to Mandriva Forum >> Index

Well I took down the Mandriva One and burnt the Iso image to disc. Now I'm going to investigate all these different options.

I can always ask CMn if I have problems

What do you mean, linux has always been better at multi threading

You're not tryin to say that that ain't about 50% of the job on Windows systems are you?

I'm not a tekkie like frankie that has tried a million operating systems and can compare them all down to the minutest shite and declare one utterly crap.

all i can say is that from a fairly incompetent users viewpoint and a straight comparison between ubuntu and windows, ubuntu is better by a country mile.

Never heard of package managers? We've had working ones since the dark old days of SunOS 4.0.

Probably in about 2 months

just been scanning down all the applications available in the package manager.

there are 1000,s of them.

what do you all find useful?

^you should be able to filter the result.... ie. if you're interested in DVD applications type DVD into the search box.

CMN stop being a lazy and download some Ubuntu Ebooks and learn some from them.
