    Re: This toggle button is confusing

    It is more intuitive than option boxes. Nearly everyone knows how to use switches. People accustomed to option boxes are the minority.

    Also, when it is On it uses the Selected color, and when it...

    Re: Why all the Gnome Shell Hate?

    With enough plugins you can turn GS into anything. But out of the box it is very lacking.

    Actually, it seems most major Linux players are really dropping the ball on sensitive defaults nowadays....

    Re: Why all the Gnome Shell Hate?

    Unity is the best desktop for screen space. Gnome takes slightly less space, but unity manages to save the space without sacrificing functionality, something that gnome does greatly unless you fill...

    Re: Linux applications not good enough

    There is a reason putty is so popular in windows.

    Simple as that, command line tools are incredibly effective and far more powerful than GUI tools at some tasks. And specially tasks related with...

    Re: Too Many Distros?

    All of this comes from mistaking Linux (the kernel) with an operating system. When we compare Ubuntu and Fedora, we do not have different Linux distributions, we have different operating systems,...

    Re: Linux applications not good enough

    Yeah, I bet the average Windows user is always editing PDFs and CADing his way out of life.

    The cli is the past , the present and the future. People who (very mistakenly) think command line tools...

    Re: Why do you choose Ubuntu over Windows

    I already did. With jdownloader it is as easy as copying the video's URL to the clipboard.

    iOS marketshare is doing just fine without it.
  13. Re: Nasty articles on Ubuntu. Is the privacy an issue with Ubuntu ?

    At least windows doesn't show me adverts when I search in my local drive.

    But Ubuntu is not the only distribution. And ubuntu-based based distros are not the only distribution either. If you ask...

    Re: what made you decide to use ubuntu?

    That's a problem with the flash plugin not Linux.

    It is a waste of time to use flash to play videos anyway. Much easier and better to download the videos directly (I used to use Downloadhelper,...
  15. Re: Nasty articles on Ubuntu. Is the privacy an issue with Ubuntu ?

    Privacy is a myth?

    Not an excuse for Ubuntu to give us more privacy issues instead of less.

    It is quite a ridiculous argument. Yam THERE IS NO PRIVACY IN THE INTERNET. Of course there is. If...

    The logic being that it is so easy to disable the feature that an alternative is not needed.

    Re: Looking for a derivative

    It would be fine if all that I wanted was a distro I could use. But I also want a distro to share with other people.

    Looking for a derivative

    I like basically everything about ubuntu, from Unity (yep, unity) to all the ppas that are available. Unfortunately, I just don't feel fine promoting the newer Ubuntu versions, that with the amazon...

    Re: Why all the Gnome Shell Hate?

    I need around 600 plugins before I can make it be useful.

    While other desktops (even Unity) are useful without all that much issue.

    So, that's it.

    It is a new 12.10 feature and looking at the previews of 13.04, it is only going to get worse in the future.

    You can opt-out by typing that command line above. As for me, this is a deal breaker....
