Windows to Linux

Name: Anonymous 2008-03-16 21:41

I'm thinking about switching to Linux. Specifically Ubuntu or Fedora. Anyone want to tell me why or why I shouldn't? Currently using Vista Home and I like it but I just want to see what else is out there. Plus if its more secure, thats always a plus.

You also can't play PS3 games on your Windows box. I'm not sure what you think your point is.
My point is PC gaming is still very popular despite consoles. And Linux is not gaming friendly.

Not actually true. Ubanto goes out of its way to make sure dependencies are kosher.
Not to mention that the fact such a thing as the update manager exists makes it tons more userfriendly
I never used retard distros like that. Gentoo is easy to update, too but you still have a lot of trouble. Try to update your OS every 2-3month and you sure as hell break stuff. Given, you learn a lot and it is fun.

Windows, where everything has to be updated manually
Small progs? Yes, big progs? Now, clicking an update button is too much for you?

except the OS itself (unless WGA refuses to recognise you, of course; and it can't update from, say, XP to Vista on its own, whereas the Ubanto update manager does give you the option to upgrade between major versions).
Comparing this is unfair. XP!=Vista. Just because it comes from MS. This analogy would be more true when you say updating from LFS to Ubuntu.

Most Linux distros matched Windows for userfriendliness some time in the late '90s.

ROFL. ihbt
Disregard my post. Good work, troll. :) I am out here. You have zero clue what you are talking about.
