Humorus thread - Linux answers vs Windows Answers

[wulfhound]

So you ask a simple question:

"How do I convert FLAC to V0?"

Linux people answer: "It's not recommended to do so because (insert answers here) <-- this answer ignores the OP's question completely

Windows answer: "Just use (insert one of 20 programs that do the job)"



Anyone else ever notice that? BTW I use linux in my life, no ripping on linux, just a funny thought that I think is quite true!

[binbash]

Windows answer : Click this then go here, click this , write blabla then CLICK THISSSS

Linux answer : $aasdas | grep balbla | xargs sudo apt-install aksdjkasd
paste this to terminal that is all

windows answer : have you tried turning it off and on again?

sad thing is that it works 70 times out of a hundred.

Q. How do you play ???? game?

Windows
A. Buy / download the program, install, and enjoy. Watch as the windows updates to fix security issues slow your computer to a standstill as they create more security issues.

Linux:
A. Install medibuntu, make sure you don't have the BadAlloc error, install the restricted hardware drivers, check WineAPPDB, install Wine, install winetricks/winedoors, install a huge amount of windows dll's, install directx, (if needed)install windows media player, (if needed)install ies4linux, edit the 'registry' to speed the play, and it might work and it might not, according to if your hardware/software configuration has been tested. Post your results to WineAPPDB for others to see.

Pout.

it depends on the question:

Question 1: I want a media player and I want to know how to install it

Windows answer: windows media player is pre installed, it collects all your data so if you pirate beware!
But you could use iTunes (lame) or Winamp (underdeveoped!)
download them
double click
next
agree to license/ eula
next
next
next
next
finish

Linux answer: Rhythmbox is pre installed, its not as fancy looking as iTunes or WMP, but it doesnt collect data or use DRM!
Or you can use Amarok (perhaps the best audio player out there!) or Audacious (Uncertain future like most xmms spawns but it works well!)
to install open up synaptic
type in password
search
click
apply
add dependencies if needed
apply
download
install
done
