Video Request: "iSwitched to Linux"

Slightly off topic. To all the just suggesting that linus should run Ubuntu, I have tried out both Ubuntu and Mint I can say that Ubuntu is VERY overrated. (Pause for the hate)

 

I feel that Mint presented a much better overall package that much better eased the transition to Windows. I also feel like Ubuntu took too many design cues from OsX resulting in what to me is a sub par UI.

 

By far I feel like Linus should use Mint.

Unless you screw around with the Os and make modifications to Windows programs then no, it can't do more than my phone/tablet. In fact my Nexus 7 does quite a few things better than Linux, since it can watch Netflix, the Skype app doesn't suck and I can easily listen to Spotify.

 

Throwing around mean words really helps you point

Right, there aren't alternatives for Adobe/Autodesk/Ableton/PixelLogic software. Gimp and Blender have shit UI's so don't even bother suggesting those. The Ableton Push works best with their software, which isn't on Linux. Wacom doesn't have good Linux support, and their hardware also works best with Autodesk/Adobe/PixelLogic software. Getting that thing to both work on Linux properly and integrate with whatever I can get on Linux will be tricky. If you haven't used a paid product long enough you simply don't understand why using free-ware is a pain in the arse to many people and why artist will gladly shell out the money for Maya or Photoshop over Blender and Gimp. Once you get use to a certain workflow switching can be a pain and can easily hinder productivity. I can't switch to Linux simply because it isn't properly supported by the companies who's products I own, and I should have to screw around with the OS to get everything half working. Once I did manage to get Photoshop working on Linux, but it ran poorly and not everything worked as it aught to, so I said screw this and went back to Windows.

Yes, nor is it for anyone who actually wants an OS that is capable of real work.

 

I'll do what I want

That number is very small

Actually, me and many other people who use Windows over Linux because of poor support from companies don't have a choice.

Yes, it capable of browsing the internet, running servers and letting its user act like they are superior to Windows users. That's about it.

 

 

I have rebutles for all your comments, but clearly you have your own adgenda and your mind is already made up. Many of your claims are blatently false, but you won't listen to anything we say anyways, so I'm not going to waste my time.

 

Hate if you want. Do what you want. Have a nice day. :)

I too found Mint to be more stable, better looking (out of the box) and easier to use. Mint is my main go-to distro for myself (for now) and for recommending to new users coming from windows. I put Mint 17.1 on my mother-in-law's new PC I built for her back during the holidays. She's never touched or seen Linux before in her life. So far she has adapted to it very well and is enjoying it very much.

They are by no means false. Please, find the Linux download of ZBrush, or the drivers for Wacom tablets or Ableton Push. Find me software that will work with my Ableton Push because clearly Ableton Live isn't on Linux. Please, explain to me how to quickly and efficiently switch from Photoshop to Gimp. Show me an open source alternative to any other Adobe CC or Autodesk product. Please, tell me because they seem to not exist. Also, show me a proper, Netflix, Skype or Spotify Client. While you are at it find me the files I need to play DX11 games. Finally, find me the plugins that will brings Libre Office's grammar/spell check up to par with the one in MS Office. Oh wait, none of those things exist because Linux sucks? Ok, not interested then. You can have your crappy OS and I'll have my properly working, fully-featured OS.

 

If my claims are false, then please, show me how to install ALL  of the software listed above with ease.

I'd love to see that but there are so many, so very different distros to choose from you can't possibly cover them all. And covering just one is hardly representative.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

This is a great video suggustion. I personally have dual booted linux but now that i game on pc it doesnt make sense to use it anymore. Hopefully developers soon realize the potential.

I didn't say all your claims were false, I said many of them are.

 

Netflix works just fine on Linux. It can be setup very easily and is now natively supported.

 

Also, I said you could have all those windows-based programs you need and have them work properly on a Linux-based machine, but I never said it was "easily" done. I simply said it can be done. Also, saying something is "easy" is relative to the user. To some Linux users, such a process/method would be considered "easy".

 

I don't know why you're so against Linux when you simply have the choice to just use windows and be done with it. Why don't you just stop bashing Linux and move on? Or are you having too much fun trolling the thread? Replying with comments like, "I'll do what I want." doesn't gain you any respect or do anything to help your arguments.

This was only recently
Also, I said you could have all those windows-based programs you need and have them work properly on a Linux-based machine, but I never said it was "easily" done. I simply said it can be done. Also, saying something is "easy" is relative to the user. To some Linux users, such a process/method would be considered "easy".

 

Yeah and for everyone else it's unneeded pain in the ass that they would rather avoid by paying $100 for Windows.

I don't know why you're so against Linux when you simply have the choice to just use windows and be done with it.

 

Because it sucks.

Why don't you just stop bashing Linux and move on?

 

I don't move on

Or are you having too much fun trolling the thread?

 

No, but you Linux lovers are, thinking you are superior to Windows.

Replying with comments like, "I'll do what I want." doesn't gain you any respect or do anything to help your arguments.

 

I care so much.

Which distros would they review?

 

I thinking probably these ones -

  •  Ubuntu
  • Elementary
  • Fedora
  • Mint
  • Arch (set up for GUI - and getting Cinnamon and or Unity and or Gnome 3)

(My favorite 3 would be Ubuntu [with unity tweaks], Elementary, and Fedora - Arch being runner up because while it does allow for like ultimate customization it's a little more cumbersome.)

After running it for awhile I even go as far as too say it's possibly even better suited for new computer users squashing that common idea that ALL Linux distros are arcane, technically complex nightmare of loose code and command line.

the only thing it is good for.

So does Windows, what's the point?

Wouldn't be true if everyone used it, because then the virus makers would be targeting Linux, not Windows.

Yeah, and I've had nothing but software problems with my Nexus 7

First, That is really childish, I am simply trying to explain

 

Second, No numerous people use Linux as there everyday desktop OS, works fine for them. In fact it is a common choice for software developers.

 

Third, It does not compared to Linux, get your facts right.

 

Fourth, Yes there would be more viruses, but still less than Windows due to it more secure design

 

Fifth, You most likely configured something incorrectly, causing these's issues, please explain what is going wrong, I would be happy to help

At this point I would save your breath. This person clearly doesn't want help. You and I have both tried to help them in a civilized manner, only to be met with immature behavior/comments in response. I don't have time to help people like that.

 

He doesn't like Linux and thinks it sucks. That's the bottom line for this person, regardless of what anyone says. If he doesn't want to listen to reason, then let him be. -_-

However, it has EVERYTHING to do with Linux being the primary OS of an extremely small percentage of users.

Netflix happened less than a year ago. Don't act like it's been supported for a long time and was an easy thing to get working a year ago.

Linux just isn't ready for a mass exodus of windows. You're saying linux is a small percentage of users therefore there isn't a lot of support for most software/hardware when in reality Linux doesn't have support for a lot of software/hardware BECAUSE it's a small percentage of users. Honestly the only reason I don't use linux as a main OS is due to League of Legends not having a Linux version. I could get by with everything else, but I'm not following a guide with 50+ steps that doesn't work at the end and having to re-install windows (this has happened multiple times I've tried to rid myself of windows).

What? Your repeating yourself, that's exactly what my point was.

Netflix happened less than a year ago. Don't act like it's been supported for a long time and was an easy thing to get working a year ago. 

 

I'm not acting like it's been supported for a long time. The person I replied to simply claimed Netflix didn't work [properly] at all on Linux - as of right now. The truth is Netflix does work properly on Linux. Whether it received native support last year or last week is irrelevant.

This wouldn't work because of how many Linux distros there are.
Linux nerds are gonna be like "Get Unbuntu no get Kubuntu no get Slackware no get Debian no get Redhat no get Kali no get Fedora no get NetRunner etc etc". It will be a shit storm.
