Most of the top XFCE alternative distro's are similar in usage to Xubuntu (sabyon, fedora, even Zenwalk and dreamlinux). The blame doesnt lie solely with Xubuntu.

If you want lightweight there's...

Not really Xubuntus problem, XFCE was only the 'lightweight' option when it was the only 'lightweight' DE about. XFCE shines as a modular desktop piece though. The 'take what you want' desktop. Which...

Opera Mini all the way for me. Haven't found another browser I like as much.

Got a little Rieju 125 RS2 black myself. Used purely in town and I never really get anywhere with a limit above 50mph. No point in me getting anything bigger. :)

How do you know its dropping?



Stands to reason Ubuntu will get less clicks then as visitors to Distrowatch already know about Ubuntu and have no reason to look at Ubuntu on Distrowatch.

Can you save pages properly in Chrome OS?

I love Bees, they are just such a happy harmless species that bumble about doing their own thing, keeping the plants pollinated and saving the world.

There is an oddly morbid part of me though...

Ahhh now that is interesting! I was totally under the belief there was nothing you could do with Chrome OS offline. I wonder if that means well see plug ins usable offline in the future.

Saying Google is forcing people to store data in the cloud is FUD, not a valid point. They are offering a service, not forcing a service.

I am quite stunned at what a minority I am by disagreeing with him.

How are they conning people?

Utter rubbish.



I appear to have missed the announcement that Google were going to force us to their OS. ;)

At the moment when I am in Scotland as it goes 3g is hit or miss in the Grampians, either way doesn't matter. I was more making the point that there is a blatant difference between Android and Chrome.

I am unsure if your trolling, or if you have less of a clue than me...

Most of the top apps paid and free don't require net access past installing them. Correct me...

Aside from both being related to Google I am unsure how you can say they are the same... Android has hundred of apps installable & functional that can be run and used without net access. Chrome is...

Because it is an established platform it seems and different people have different needs.

Personally I need a mobile phone that acts like a PDA, I have a Samsung Corby Pro, which I use almost...

There must be a simple mouse and keyboard program for it though because I have seen it on a netbook I am sure...

On another note, found out there is an ISO image of thing of Android 1.6 that can...

Interesting, I have been wondering what the next OS would be. I was thinking it might have been chromium (/chrome / google OS / whatever, I dont know its name but you know what I am talking about)....

Right, have not been following Android as much as I would have liked but it appears to be a steadfast on cheap tablets now, is popular on mobile phones, and I am sure I saw a netbook with it on....

I quite enjoyed Vendetta, I flirted with it after the old EVE scandals of yonder year when I wanted a new space game. It was good fun.

Scooooore :)

I don't see why, they all currently make good use of the cloud themselves. XBox Live, Wii / DS store, I even play some DS games over over the internet now.

There always has been and always will be...

I would say the opposite actually on GUI's in Ubuntu. The only thing I am not keen on is the Software Center. I prefer the old Add/Remove. It is certainly coming along though.

I gotta agree with this. The Gnome team have struck me as.... Wishy washy over Gnome3 and Shell on how to implement them. Lack of certain direction is maybe a good way to put it? Never a good way for...

Because not everyones good with computers on any level. I work for a couple of companies that have all 46 years old + staff. Most over 50. They only got their first PC's a couple of years ago. They...
