You're a fuc king idiot.


Linux was never designed to be a Desktop distro, its more on an enterprise level system. But idiots like the one above never know this because they live in a bubble or know how to do jack **** within the OS. And hey btw, OSX is based on a UNIX Shell.


Anyways, to the OP, what distro are you running? Fedora/Ubuntu/???

I've got Ubuntu and Windows XP on this computer, I never use Ubuntu though b/c I'm lazy. What distro are you using?

[Blitanicle99]

Ubuntu for the win. I absolutely love it already. I am not running Windows at all currently, I may run it as a visualization later on.

Isnt the purpose of Ubuntu, PCLinuxOS, and a few others to be desktop distros? I am a total noob with Linux so I am asking.

Well any distro can me "made" to work on a desktop platform, however most people dont like working in terminals or command line, and prefer a GUI. OSX is an excellent example. If you put the time in to learn the OS, Linux is very safe and powerful to use in any environment.

Yes but Synaptic is a GUI interface. It seems to me that Ubuntu is really trying to be a desktop OS. I have Ubuntu on a partition and it is my first real experience with Linux. I would be inclined to ditch Windows altogether if my games and a few other programs would run on Linux.

Just run Wine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_%28software%29), you can run Windows programs with it. As George said, a lot of Linux distros will have you spending a ton of time @ the command line setting things up. I'm lazy and don't do too much stuff with my computer anymore and Windows XP gives me no problems (the PC itself is another matter lol).

Welcome to not having to worry about being hacked!

I have some stuff that I need that will not run under any emulation. It is really stupid on the software maker's part, but they are so adamant about not supporting emulation(Apple's parallel or Wine) that they will not even answer emails on it. I tried to get Crysis to run under Wine as well with no luck, so i just dual boot and called it a day.

Dual booting solves a lot of problems. If one OS doesn't work, just use the other. lol

I lol @ software programmers because they won't support emulation because it can create more problems for them, but they still want everyone to purchase the software and use it.

Agreed. Unbuntu Gusty Gibbon 7.10 for me.:bump:

[Blitanicle99]

Ah, so few questions now that I am into this now.

A, can people still not see what I post? Someone said in the thread.

B, how would I go about running iTunes with Linux? I know you can get better programs or similiar but I honestly love iTunes and just enjoy the way it works so I want to keep using it. I think I am supposed to run "Wine" is that a visualation? Can I keep it running in one of my desktops?

Thanks

A. It was a joke
B. I've never used Wine much personally since I have windows dual booted. I don't know if iTunes will run perfectly or not through Wine. It can't hurt to try it though. I honestly don't have much experience with it. :thinking:

[Blitanicle99]

Oh ha, and alright I think Ill just see what happens.

i hope i don't have to explain why this comment is a failure

[green91]

Welcome to Unbuntu! I run it also on my laptop and get nearly an additional hour of battery life over xp pro. I don't think youre going to get itunes running to your satisfaction, try tinkering with playlists on xmms or something.

Linux distros are working toward being a desktop OS, look at how far they've come in the last few years. Even the 1 laptop per child initiative is running linux. While i love linux for my personal usage i will admit its got a little way to go to make it completely user friendly. I wish more hardware companies would back linux as far as making more hardware drivers included, this single handedly would help more than anything. It is aggravating to have to recompile your kernel just to get your wireless working.
