No, I'm saying that perhaps Linux isn't all that you've been making it out to be, either.

Hmmm, could you explain to me how saying that windos doesn't make betas available through windows update is the same as saying that linux isn't what I'm making it out to be?

[zen-r]

Yawn. Why bother.

Wish I had learned Unix instead of MS Dos when I was younger. I would love to know how to use linux properly. It is way better than Windows IMHO.

Is that what you say when you're speechless? There obviously can't be too much good about winDos, otherwise you wouldn't be dumbfounded so easily.:naughty:

You can still use linux with out knowing unix.

[wolflock]

Agreed. But it is not as user friendly as Windows. More powerful, yes, but can be difficult for those who dont know it.

Difficult for those who don't know it? No more difficult than winDos is for those who don't know it.

I dispute your claim that Linux is more powerful than Windows... It's something that's thrown in to many discussions, and seemingly always goes unqualified...

Anyway, I'm out down the rifle range in about... now. Something that interests me significantly more than proving you wrong regarding the infinitely debated (on here) Windows vs Linux. Let's just agree that those who want to work ON their computers use Linux, and those who want to work WITH their computers use Windows. Because, let's face it, Linux STILL requires more effort and knowhow to set up than Windows. I *still* have to manually edit xorg.conf to tell X to use my laptops screen by default (instead of the external display).

You got your analogy wrong. Those who want to work use windos. Those who don't let linux do their work for them! ;)

Someone seems to be forgetting how much "work" their victim already put in to trying to get Linux to work, & now it doesn't work at all! ;

Learning to use Linux if you are already used to using Windows = "work"

Saving & backing up all your Windows data = "work"

Uninstalling Windows = "work"

Installing Linux = "work"

Learning how to use Linux = "work"

Trying to get Linux to work properly = "work"

Installing all your Linux hardware drivers = "work"

Earning the money to pay for all the new Linux applications which you will want, to replace all the applications which you already got for Windows = "work"

Installing all these new Linux applications = "work"

Trying to learn how to use all these new Linux applications = "work"

Transferring all you old data to your new installation = "work"

etc.
etc.

Just how much "work" do you want us to do?



My Windows installation already works just fine, thank you!

Ichwar, are you going to pay me for all the new software I will need, to replace my countless Windows applications, & all the time I will need to perform all of the above operations, so that I can have a working Linux installation which replaces my already working Windows application?

If so, please forward me the money, & I will be happy to make a start with Linux.

If not, perhaps you should learn to recognise when you are talking nonsense. :thefinger
