Linux

yeah man, at 12 you should be getting fucking shitfaced drunk every day and smoking three bowls of weed an hour with a vicodin chaser.

oh, wait, you don't live in orange county, do you? nevermind, then.

Orange county *lol*

Anyway, why are'nt you discussing? Am i so scary that you can't discuss?

I have never used Linux and never will. As long as I can

use the software I want on Windows, I'm not touching Linux.

I don't hate Linux, neither do I love Windows.

Using Windows doesn't mean you love microsoft and hate all-things-linux.

using linux is great so we don't laugh at you for paying over $100 for an operating system with something linux (and its Xwindow guis) can already do!

Who said I paid for my windows XP copy ?

Evrybody laughed at Bill Gates when he was 12.

Haha yes, it's wrong but most people you'll talk to don't pay for Windows. The majority of those that have it legally only do because it came free with their pre-built PC.

But that aside, as I said earlier I'm prepared to pay that bit more for the best user experience possible, and not just the functionality. Until Linux can master both (which is going to require a lot of its user's mentalities changing) it's going to remain just how it is. A niche home OS.

How you can know that Linux cannot master both? You didnt tried it, right? Also, not every Distribution is built for tweaking. Ubuntu is a 100% desktop distro and is very comfortable. Has the most best hardware recognition, most comfortable pre-configuration and configuration tools. And has also a kickass community. What you want else?

Because Ubuntu is still a bitch to use and most of GUI config stuff doesn't bloody work properly. After arsing around with config files for hours I realised that the Linux communitys idea of usability was somewhat different to my own.

Linux is not in any way a proper desktop OS at present and until someone creates a decent distro that has a decent standardised method for adjusting settings, installing software and organising information, it won't be. It still very much feels like something designed by coders, not something designed for users.

And for gods sakes just that in your bloody sig instead of singing every post.
