Linux vs Windo.ws what do you use ? - GoFuckYourself.com

AdultDesigners · 05-10-2004, 04:59 AM

Hi friends,
Tell me what OS do you use ? Windo.ws or Linux.
If you use windo.ws.... tell me why are you paying money for it when you know it is not safe and reduces to half the processing power of your machine ?
If you use Linux .. tell me how long did it took you to learn how to use it, and if you have problems while using it.

who said anything about paying money for it

I used Linux until a little over a year ago but switched because hahahahahahas has so much software available for it.

Linux is easy to learn especially if you like command-prompt.

Try to find a good video game for Linux though.

Overall, I am a lot happier with hahahahahahas but damn, hahahahahahas is a battlefield.

I use hahahahahahas xp, but I'm thinking of switching to linux

AdultDesigners · 05-10-2004, 05:09 AM

Well .. I heard that there is a little software called WINE that allows you to run hahahahahahas software under linux .. so .. you can run hahahahahahas games.
I also heard that quake runned from WINE on linux works 25% faster than runed on same machine in hahahahahahas ....interesting I guess

i've paid more money for linux in my life than hahahahahahas. which was paying $10 for a copy of mandrake 5.1 a few years ago from a guy on the street. as for security, no OS is more secure than another, you still have to secure the box yourself. as for the OS i use, hahahahahahas as a desktop, solaris on the servers.

Using Suse 9.0 Pro
Took a couple of weeks to get used to it and find Linux replacements/equivilents to the software I was running on Windoze.
Suse is stable, fast, and I don't miss the constant patching to prevent worms and viruses. on the Windoze machines.
I'm not a big gamer, but I do like to play BZFlag.
Wine does work well for most of the Win Apps if you still need to run some.
Overall - It's been a painless switch, and I don't intend to switch back to MS.
BTW there is not a Linux replacement for PhotoShop, TheGimp is a nice image editor but it's not as powerful as PhotoShop yet.
