Knightip Yes most people that I've talked to about Linux (who know about it and use it) are usually developers who make their own stuff for it or edit the source code of other things to make it what they want. Then they either keep it to themselves,…

I have a box in my place that runs Ubuntu 9.04 too. My mac is the my main computer. I used to use Ubuntu as the main computer, but soon got tired of the constant updates and lack of being able to use mainsteam apps. Yeah, its sad that Linux versions…

Good honest and objective assessment. With all the work I do with Windows apps and MS office it would be pointless for me to switch to any other OS no matter what it is. Gotta have me Windows (and FPS games). :D

Flash is... OK. I just wish that there was some damn Flash support on my iPod. But Apple is too uptight about that stuff, and they totally destroyed Adobe's proposal because they wanna 'use their own stuff'. Their own stuff SUCKS, and I don't like…

All valid points except Flash. Flash sucks on all platforms (but especially on Linux and Mac).

We should start arguing about what we can do, but also, how can we make people jealous of us? How can we make other users want what we have?

Geos commented on Adam Radcliffe's blog post 'Why Not Switch To Linux Full Time?'

Adam, All valid points. I think the question is 'Why are you using linux?' . What I mean is that Linux is never going to be a replacement for Windows and I don't think we (the linux community) will ever win the 'MS versus Linux' debate as they fill…

Thanks for the comments guys, Dilyn I do agree that Gimp is an excellent replacement. Daverix I boot into 7 to play all my games :D

Dilyn Corner commented on Adam Radcliffe's blog post 'Why Not Switch To Linux Full Time?'

All valid arguments :D I applaud you for at least TRYING to manage with Linux as a main OS. I agree with all those points. They are 100% true, and they are the exact reasons that I cannot use Linux as my main. The real drawback for me is the lack…

#1, tried the 64bit flash 10 alpha from adobe? http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html It works fine for me but I have to disable compiz to get hardware acceleration when I want to watch movies and such. It's probably still faster under w…

Why Not Switch To Linux Full Time?

Ah Linux, a very powerful yet weak Operating System. I have been using Linux (mainly Ubuntu) for years now. But in May of 2009 I dove into a 100% Linux world. I had reformatted my hard drive and only had Linux Ubuntu 9.04 installed on the system (64-bit). Things were going great in the wonderful world of Linux. Then of course I ran into some bugs, but also some software compatibility with programs and lack there of. Linux had turned into an obsession for me to use as a main OS. It was a wonderfu… Continue

Google Voice Cards

I finally got my Google Voice cards in the mail and I am very happy about them. I love the price as well (free), because Google was nice enough to give out 25 cards to each customer who wanted them. As you can see I added my name (of course), my Google Voice number, my website, as w… Continue

New Desktop Look

Alright guys so I have now edited my desktop to look like OS X (I run Linux Ubuntu) and I like it. I think it gives off a more proffesional look rather then cool and fun ubuntu with some cool compiz effects. Now when I show my friends my computer they are just wow-ed by the appeal of this look. They see this system and it is just a powerhouse now. I now use two monitors, one is a 28" LCD and the other is a 17" CRT with a combined resolution of 3250x1200. This resolution is absolutly wonderful wi… Continue
