People's tastes are hard to understand sometimes: the other week, I read someone saying that he loves Windows 8. They'll proverbially have to pry Win XP (Yes, I've an old computer with XP still on...
I find the way Windows does thing quite logical (let me not start about _how_ it does thing...). System files in /Windows, program files in /program files, user files in your own home folders.
The...
As a programmer, you seem to know very little about GNU/Linux. I am just a "stupid" Linux user, I know zilch about programming, hacking, compiling, you name it :p, and I seem to know more than you (I...
What, you mean one mustn't whine about it, because one already gets it for free?
What freedom and control, if I have to get used to Unity (or get another DM or distro)?
No comment...
-oo-
I am being sarcastic now, but I've read someone saying the exact same thing about Windows 8 - one just "has to get used to it".
Is that what OS's have become about: "having to get used to it"?

Ubuntu support duration
I am reading that Ubuntu 13.04 (and Xubuntu, too) will be supported for _ONLY_ nine months.
Why just 9 months? What after those 9 months? Installing (yet again) the new version? I thought one...
[bump]
...not wanting to hijack this thread... but my Wubi install of "Maya" seems to have failed just a few minutes ago.
Since I can't get "Maya" and/or Xubuntu 12.04 installed in a regular...
Well, I'll be darned, I have the same issue _just now_ while trying to install Xubuntu 12.04 on my brand new desktop PC (Core i5-3450, Gigabyte GA-H77-D3S mobo and a Geforce GT 630): black screen...
You apparently haven't tried it yet :p
A DMG is like a ZIP file in Windows or a DEB (or RPMs or tar.gzs) in Linux. Do you never download DEBs (or RPMs)?
But alright, what about un-installing a...
If given enough time, I am sure I can come up with a few answers that are as sarcastic as your question looks :)
Anyway, Apple has a serious image problem with me (not that they would care about...
Hah, that's an easy one.
Installing programs. Unzip DMG, drag file in the DMG to Program folder, done.
Not even Synaptic can beat that (not even the CLI, for by the time you have typed apt-get,...
We don't need standards.
We need someone who/something that can speak on behalf of GNU/Linux.
Linux is very much like the European Union. Was it Henry Kissinger who said, "If you call Europe,...
Maybe that says more about Ubuntu than about that person.
I would like to ask Mr. Shuttleworth if a change is always better. If Unity/Ubuntu is "better" (note my quotation marks) than Gnome 2/Ubuntu.
As many other people, my answer is "No", of course.
Just out of curiosity - how fast does Ubuntu shut down? And which version?
Linux Mint ("Mate") - with the PC specs in my signature - shuts down in 2 seconds. I'm really not joking. Amazing :p...
Long time ago I've posted, or even read, the Ubuntuforums.
Ubuntu "pre-Gnome 3" is the best distro that I personally have ever used. Ubuntu was (note the past tense) so good that I have never had...
"Mate" in Linux Mint 13 looks more like KDE than like Gnome 2. Why do they say it is based on Gnome 2--or are they talking of the program code?
I lost "Lucid Lynx" when I mistakenly installed...
Sorry, noob.bot76, no help from me. But I had the same "issue". I was also no longer able to move program windows...
I found it too much hassle to un-do those "problems" - following the procedure...
What interests me more - why do they contribute? Why does Microsoft contribute to an OS they consider(ed) a threat to Windows? They must have a hidden agenda...
Oh, and no, I too will not buy/use...
Well, I got me another mouse (a Logitech one). I think MS hardware with Linux is just not done :) It would be like, I dunno, the Ferrari logo on a Lamborghini :p
(Just as a note of information and not wanting to hijack this thread: my only account here in Xubuntu 10.04, upgraded from 8.04, is also "Custom" (I can change it, though).
I checked this just now,...
Other n00b'ish users, you mean :) They must be certain which partition contains what. Double-check, and check again. And make backups! :)
-oo-
Ubuntu rocks. It is my experience that it is the...
Well, drs305, pity that I did not read your message sooner :)
Murphy's Law has struck. Xubuntu was indeed not sda3, but sda2. Ubuntu was sda3. And Xubuntu's /home on sda5.
I wanted to keep...
At work, we run SLED10 (KDE 3.5) and we have several Lexmark (laser) printers/models and they work fine. They use CUPS, I can see.
I have an Epson Stylus R200 here at home - but it is attached to...
