No excuse required. Not interested. Feels like a broke OS.

Wi-Fi

Linux has no programs.

im not a nigger

i'm straight

Gaman.

windows is a better operating system and it has been around for longer

Sound

I'm using it.

to lazy to find out how to get the programs/games I use to work on it I guess.

Already have XP installed, too lazy to try anything else.

Shit's like an OS made for programmers. I'm a sciencefag, not a programmer, so I don't enjoy it.

I use the computer to work. Not play around.

Also no programs.

Cause I want time to use my computer to do fucked up shit, not spend time programming it.

I don't want to be laid as much as i have to reboot linux.

1) i need shit to actually work
2) i play video games

Im not a webfag. I dont give a fuck how fast or good my internets or software is. I use the net for 3 things. Schoolwork research, occasional forums, somtimes porn. And regualr windows with IE does just fine. Only nerds are obsessed with firefox and linux and having the best, its just unnecessary for everybody else.

Lack of Modern Flash. ;)

Um, I like playing games

If linux is so "user-friendly", is it so fucking hard to add windows games playability directly in the OS?

or are there laws that prevent them from doing that?

It is not compatible with most gaming software.

I'm not homosexual

b/c linux is built for servers and little else
linux offers nothing to the personal user
linux fails at gaming
linux fails at video/audio editing
linux fails at everything that is not related to servers/networking
beOs is better than linux, even
the main reason i dont use linux, however, is this: im not an antiestablish pseudopirate noncomformist douchebag
fuck you and your linux

i'm not a fucking hippy

I do, my Fileserver/NAS is Debian Sarge.

Serves my Mac and Xbox (Only for XBMC) via AFP and SMB.

Avahi configured nicely, Mac sees all services (Even SSH) in the sidebar - God I love zeroconf.

I got a shitty video card so i can`t run most of my favorites video games on linux....Actually I got Arch but...Still i have to use Win for games...

I don't really know what is going on behind the scenes that has made it like this, but i KNOW what i need to do to get windows. I go to the store, i buy windows, i come home, i install it. With linux, it is like an intimidating formless blob of different versions, and incompatibility issues.

Battery life's shit in Ubuntu NBR (25%) compared to W7 (100%).
Also changing the display is fucking annoying, in Windows just hit Win + P (for projector) and it swaps the dispaly seamlessly. No x.conf files, no frequencies.

Linux is free. That is, if you don't value your time.

I need to use the latest versions (NOT CLONES) of:

It runs like shit, windows act bizarrely and it's extremely unreliable.
How about run it in its native OS?

Tried opensuse 11.2 for a few months,

- Dual monitor support is horrid if you don't have Nvidia

- No Compositing due to dual monitor problems

- Software is lacking, media player that doesn't automatically update the music library? come on.

- Making iPod work was fuuuuuuun

- Sleep to disk/ram sucks so bad, randomly decides to crash on you so you have to reboot the whole box.

- The most random thing can decide to stop working and you have to spend hours trying to fix it :-/

- Opensuse forums suck balls

- Fucking everything takes too much effort.

I've tried it and learned that I want to USE my OS, not constantly fiddle with it cause it's not working properly.

1) I need mah programs. Visual Studio. Live Messenger.
2) Fail user interface.
3) Too much work for such a lazy person like me.

I know how to pirate windows

Windows 7 is king of the hill.
I fucken hate that it's a M$ product, but it blows the rest away.

I don't want to spend my life configuring my system and have it still not work right and not be compatible with new formats like Flash 10. Linux is not a serious operating system. It's a joke. I want to do other things with my life so I use a real operating system that is complete and compatible with all modern standards.

>>2215382

I like programs that work, a OS that doesn't suck dick, and I'm not an elitist faggot that thinks Linux makes me God.

Windows is better.

I am disinclined to use an operating system that when you express confusion about its contents or operation, its userbase regards you with abject contempt.

Ghouls

ITT: common misconceptions about linux. It's just as easy to install programs on linux as on windows, it's just different so it looks harder. Also, if programmers programmed using pictures and icons instead of text then windows would be a 'programmer's' OS. Most linux distros simplify installation by not dicking around with wizards and registry keys like windows.

You're all just too adjusted to the windows way of thinking to consider that, given some time, another method may turn out to be easier.

excuse: am not fag

only nerds obsess with how much great linux is

>>211994509
Too lazy to reboot, too lazy to set up Eclipse workspace again, want games from time to time, performance is sometimes very sub-par.

For servers, it's great. For desktops, unfortunately only if it has *everything* you want. As soon as it lacks something, a quasi-pirated Windows 7 (I only have the upgrade disc, so no existing older OS) is fine too.

I've used Debian for a couple of years, and I hardly played games then (apart from an occasional round of UT2004) or did Flash thingies (it works, but it's slow).

Also, this: >>211994914
I'm a programmer though, and I love the fact that everything is scriptable, but since it still very unfriendly.

I like to play the vidya games without the experience of putting my balls in a vice grip.

if i have to sudo every single fucking line to get my goddamned audio working, then its not easy, is it? fuck you and your shit

all my scrips work just as fine in MacOSX, and UI is nicer

tried it. periphals didn't work. uninstalled it.

well, my laptops got ubuntu and slackware running on them, but my desktop still got windows. why? because photoshop works like crap in wine.
also, inb4 gimp/gimpshop, those suck ass when you acually work with photography.

i have an aversion to anything, that has a X in it's name.
I also hate the Xyolophon

I have a custom OS! So suck it niggers!

My server runs linux but I doubt I'll use it as my primary client "work" OS. That's what Windows and OS X are for :) Maybe, if Ubuntu gets better display support,it will happen.

I have Windows 7 for free.

Having friends in IT departments, yay

Linux - created by geeks who become elitist because they made the system


I was fed up with linux after the horrible Futurama watching experience and the laptop's complete disability to recognise headphones

Games, and entering the third ring of driver hell as soon as i press the power button. the only distro that's come close to working for me with a minimal amount of effort on my part is Ubuntu, but then that stupid bug where you can't get Restricted-Extras comes in. Restricted-Extras has Flash and MP3 Codecs. FUUUUU--

i actually am using linux ubuntu at this moment
i dont mind it per say exept i cant run windows programs or triforce :(

Windows works just fine?

I don't feel like fiddling around with it for two weeks everytime I boot it up just because I want audio, wi-fi and a correct screen resolution.

>>211994509

If/when I buy a new computer I'll run linux on this one

It is not easier to code everything than clicking icons and whatnot. Linux is annoyingly difficult to configure, it can't play games unless it's through an emulator(Which is buggy, crap and annoying) and any type of editing is seriously hindered. Windows beats it in every sense except for maybe servers. Sure Linux is free, but i'd rather spend the money on Windows 7, as I'll be leading a less stressful life. W7 is a piece of piss to pirate anyway..

Whenever I tried to type a fucking letter, it would type it 10x.

>>211996620

Is the PC required for work/gaming/entertainment/web or to act all "ooh, look at me, I'm an omnipotent programmer"?

if your case is the latter, you might as well write programs that will fix Windows, not make linux a horrible maze of "user-friendliness"

90% of all here only touched linux once and got scared.

truth be told: no matter how much it strives to be user friendly, it's still geeks first, then the rest.
on the other hand, geeks would enjoy it. the rest it depends on the flip of the coin: either they like it, or not.
who doesn't? mostly youngsters too lazy to actually learn something, anything, and oldfags that are too old and used to something that they don't want to change. it's understandable.

as for programs? games, yes, it's not a platform for gaming, and it doesn't have all the super-paid software, but it works just fine with the rest.

so, any of you that just tasted, or worse -- heard -- and remained with those conclusions, use forst, then judge. and when you use, make it a neutral judgement, otherwise you do nothing but bitch for nothing.

inb4 ubuntu user, (free)bsd too.

>>211997180

i like to play games. linux sucks a fat cock instead of attempting to run modern games.

>>211997218

I agree... my radeon 9600 can't run any new games - and the greatness that was openGL is gone because ati removed opengl support somewhere along the way

now they go "oh, we bring opengl back" - except that it's brought back for the video cards which are good enough to run the new games

i do use linux

>>211996748
Admittedly, it's not a gamer's OS, but a lot of people don't play games anyway. If you want to game, stick with windows.

As for editing, not sure exactly what you mean. For programming it's obviously got more capabilities than windows; for graphics etc I'm not sure but I've heard GIMP is nearly as good as photoshop.

It is actually easier to use text based commands than a gui because it's faster, once you know the commands. Using a keyboard is far faster than using a mouse and though the icons help you at first, once you get used to the sequence they just become a hindrance.

It's annoying to configure if you're used to wizards, otherwise I find it remarkably simple. The convention being to put all configurable properties into a single file I can edit at will, and maybe have to restart a service. I have dicked around so many times in the registry to try to get slightly different behaviour out of windows software because there was no other external way to configure the programs.

The Old Timer: (Also known as "oldfag") The Old Timer's been around since the beginning (or a very long time, anyway), and isn't going to let you forget it. They too have an overdeveloped sense of entitlement, but this time it's based on how much time they've invested rather than money, or devotion. Because they?ve stuck with it over the years, they believe that they're far more important to the franchise than these kids and 'Johnny-come-latelys' who have only just arrived, and resent the show changing in any way to include them. They view the franchise through a sharp Nostalgia Filter; the show is never as good as How It Used To Be, and any criticisms raised of the show at / before this point will be viciously rebuffed. Especially long-running properties will attract Old Timers who will resent and attempt to get rid of younger fans who had the misfortune of being born after the property (and they) were. It can also happen to works that are no longer in production (classics) - but still manages to attract younger fans. Essentially, they're the grumpy old men of the fandom constantly complaining about the good old days and shouting at the "young whippersnappers" to "get off their lawn", saying that they're too young to deserve it. LOLOLOLOLOOLOLOLOL

Notice how most of the attacks on linux are directed at either its inability to play games or wine. It is not an OS for gaming and probably never will be. If you don't use the OS because wine sucks, then wtf did you expect? Hurr durr I'll use linux and then spend all my time trying to emulate windowz. For gamerfags dual booting is acceptable too (as long as you boot profile so you don't have to wait for 2 minutes everytime you fancy a quick game).

I use fedora 11 dual booted with windowz 7 incase I fancy playing a game.

Why do I need an excuse?

I really tried to use it, liked the idea of free software and shit, but since I started studying I realized that there are programms who are worth their money.
Gimp is ok, but it's not photoshop, there are no good 3D and CAD programs and OpenOffice crashes all the time.

This is the problem. Even if you find an answer for the problem on windows, too often you're barred from fixing it yourself. Would you seriously think it's better to re-install everytime something goes wrong?
Also, there's already a shit ton of problems microsoft supplies straight from the box.


>>212000660
I take it you had a bad experience?

Now that I'm used to linux but use both, I find windows lacks a fair bit of power. My pet hate is installing/uninstalling on windows. Next? Next? NEXT? WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU EXPECT ME TO WANT TO INSTALL IT? NO I DO NOT WANT TO READ THE DAMN README.

Then uninstalling - hunting down four billion shortcuts strewn throughout the filesystem, having to go through the god damn control panel every time I want to make sure it's gone and STILL finding residue in the registry incase I have changed my mind about using it. God it sucks.

If games were developed for linux, it would be a far more widely used OS. That said, I still don't know why a lot of companies and organisations insist on using windows in the workplace. It's just not as nice.

Look on your laptop for a sticker that says 'designed for windows'. Chances are HP used hardware that only caters to windows and put that sticker on as a disclaimer.

Here is how to solve your problem.
1. Google it.
2. read the manual
3. If the aforementioned fails, remember to properly describe your problem and reference that you've already tried to solve it on your own and how you did it.

>>212002763

Honestly? Upgrade to windows 7. HP is too stubborn to change. Don't even try.

Linux sucks your moms balls and fucks you in the ass.

>>212003078
Not sure, I gave up on HP for that reason. Decided to get a somewhat custom desktop and shit's flying here. Made sure all the hardware was compatible and I've not had a problem since. It feels like I'm walking through tar when I have to go onto windows.

can't be fucked with custom everything most of which isn't properly tested and breaks all the time

Windows

I do use Linux. I've been using ubuntu for a couple of weeks and I much prefer it to windows. I love the CLI it feels like proper computing instead of just pointing and clicking

>>212003364
This human doesn't understand. 'Custom' can not possibly describe 'open source' Open source softwares are usually worked on by a large community. They are not tailored to fit any one system and are usually made as flexible and standard as possible.

The amount of polish on an operating system that can only come from millions and millions of dollars and an army of paid programmers.

First Linux was not really capable of using my ISP's USB WLAN module.
Next try there where no working 64bit drivers for my sound card.
Next time I had problems watching flash videos.

Installing on the ps3 had problems too: YDL did not support flash, lates version did mit bluetooth was not working. ubuntu did not accept my login after a few restart; I reinstalled, thought I just confused my password, used a very easy one, and it happend again
Suse on ps3 was just slow.

After hours and hours of not working linux distr. I just said: FUCK YOU LINUX! I did not give up after 1 try or just some hours. Added up it would be around 48 hours or more of forum reading, friend asking, faq studying and not getting it to work. So yeah: FUCK LINUX!

I don't know how to delete system32

'couse of Steam... or it works also on linux?

Windows has done everything I wanted and I see no reason to change it to anything else. : )

Because Windoze works fine for me

>>212003980

Steam works... the games don't

I don't use linux because I'm not a pretentious ass that thinks using the less popular alternative makes me cool.

>>5307934

uh.. booted wrong OS on Friday, too lazy to reboot and pick Linux

I use Linux.

Linux is for queers who don't know how to use a fucking computer.

i liek chocolat milk

>>212004142

Not that i disagree with you, but pretty much every statement which includes the phrase "because i'm not a pretentious ass" is demonstrably wrong.

>>212004458

Of all the criticisms that could be levied against linux, and of all the potential troll statements you could make, that is possibly the worst choice you make.

asking why i'm not using assumes i'm not using

since i'm using, i have no meaningful answer

Just my personal experience, but I know plenty of people who used windows, switched to linux and never went back. By switch I mean: didn't have hardware compatibility issues and used it for more than 2 weeks contiguously. I don't know any linux users who've gone to windows (or even mac) and never gone back to linux.

"First Linux was not really capable of using my ISP's USB WLAN module."
Proprietary shit sux.


"Next try there where no working 64bit drivers for my sound card."
Who seriously needs a soundcard?
I'm not saying that this isn't a problem though. Now I'm blaming the sofware card's manufacturer for not making a wide range of drivers.
Everyone seems to think that making this shit is easy. Do you honestly think that these people are going to spend shit tons of money into computer hardware manufacturers to persuade them into building computers with hardware tailored to gnu/linux distrobutions? No.
Be smart and buy hardware that is listed as having drivers supported by the distrobution you want to use.
Don't take for granted that shit is going to work for a computer that was made to run microsoft software when bill gates spends a nice chunk of money to get computer manufacturers to do shit his way.


Next time I had problems watching flash videos.
I'm actually having the same problem with my windows 7 box. There's a huge epidemic stemming with the latest version of flash. You might want to check into that. Google "adobe flash crash problem"

can run good programs

I need AutoCad and i play some video games

Because I find it difficult to update my Firefox to the newest version in Linux. In windows, you just download and run. But in Linux, things are complicated. A site says that installing Firefox will mess with the configurations in Ubuntu. It's a pain in the ass so I just use windows.

I don't use Linux because Linux is still a fucking joke for anything but nerdy bullshit. How many times have we heard "THIS IS THE YEAR OF LINUX ON THE DESKTOP!!"

Yeah, right. That sure happened.

On linux now. Kubuntu 9.10 64-bit

Shit is so cash.

>>212005798
Been a long time since ubuntu but -
apt-get -u upgrade firefox
?

I can cp

I run a dual boot laptop with Win7 and Ubuntu 9.10. I found that I use Ubuntu now 98% of the time. It's faster, cleaner, works. BUT I DON"T PLAY GAMES ON IT. I don't use Microsoft Office only Open Office for work now.

>>212006566

Don't you mean GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux?

>>212006948
Like me but I use fedora coz I also sometimes host a few servers.

I have friends.

I'd like to take a moment...

Dualbooting Win7/Ubu9.10; win for games and linux for everything else. Worked out of the box for me, I don't unnerstand what all you faggots r complainin about.

>>212007013
Tis true. Jesus thing is funny lol!

I'm using Ubuntu right now. I cut my teeth on Gentoo, but I decided it was too much of a hassle in the long run.

>>212007581
Ubuntu has gotten good at that.

I'm an retard that's why

My excuse is that Windows 98SE is the best shit EVAR.
/thread

Games, Ventrilo, other than that nothing really.

My excuse? I have somewhat of a life

Man... that would be awesome. Just re-release windows 98 with security and performance upgrades.

My Mac is still UNIX-based, gives me a shell, but is easier to work with and doesn't require as much maintenance and fucking around to install something or get something to work.
