@ Isis: Dunno what happend to that screenshot, but it certainly doesn't look that huge on my PC. Try setting your XP to 640x480 and it will look the same @ oXYnary: The games I like to play run just fine on Linux, but you are right, some do not run. Concerning 'working' applications, well Maya, XSI, Lightwave (not 100%…
[ QUOTE ] @Marine and Weiser_Cain: That is exactly what I ment, long time Windows user 'excuse' the faults windows has, because they got used to them, and know how to work around them (to quote: "but that's easily solvable without a reboot") . But the reality is that a modern OS should not behave like that EVER, seriously.…
[ QUOTE ] they should just go into he correct place. [/ QUOTE ] Exactly my point, as opposed to 'runs everywhere'. In Linux you have a nice packaging system, where you double click on a programm to install, and it automaticly installes itself to the proper place and creates a symlink in the menu etc. Having a program as a…
Let me guess, you also oppose HALs and object-oriented programming because it makes the programmer less aware of the hardware and leads to implementations that could be more efficient in plain C with proper care?
[ QUOTE ] The games I like to play run just fine on Linux, but you are right, some do not run. Concerning 'working' applications, well Maya, XSI, Lightwave (not 100% sure about the last) and a bunch of others run nativly on Linux, just Max doesn't (yet). Photoshop runs fine with Wine or crossover-office as far as I know,…
One reason not to use Linux would be if you have an Ati card installed. Ati + Linux == nightmare. Okay, Ati + OpenGL == nightmare, it's not much better under Windows. Either way, MS archieved total lock-in, noone can change to the competition because everyone has some piece of software that won't run on other systems…
[ QUOTE ] Photoshop runs fine with Wine or crossover-office as far as I know, and there is a Linux port in work (I think, but don't quote me on that). So there isn't really a reason not to switch, exspecially as you can dual boot into windows if you want to play games that don't run natively or with wine/cedega. [/ QUOTE ]…
[ QUOTE ] P.S.: I do not hate MS, what I hate are quasi monopolys which are bad for the users, the economy and basicly bad for everything. [/ QUOTE ] By this standard, you hate Apple. Now watch as all the Apple lovers try to deny the plain and simple fact that Apple holds a monopoly for hardware and software that runs on…
drakino: Apple competes with software but once you decide "I want OSX" there's only one hardware manufacturer to buy from. Sony doesn't have to compete with other Playstations, Nintendo doesn't compete with other Gameboys. If you want that software, there's no way around that hardware. And it shows. What did they demand…
Why worry about updating KHTML? Who's browsing with Konqueror, anyway? That's what Firefox is for, Konqueror is Linux's Internet Explorer. Keeping a program as one object and placable whereever you like is a HUGE improvement over having to split them into ten different folders in all Unix systems. Sure, it keeps the…
