[dragos240]

Can anyone guess why?

[HappinessNow]

Can anyone guess why?

Is it your Birthday?

[eragon100]

Are you going to get a new computer?

Graduate from school?

Get a new job?

[miegiel]

I can't wait for tomorrow because the mail(wo)man will be delivering my new laptop \\:D/

So, what's tomorrow going to bring you ? It must be something nice too :D

[TuckLive]

Your one year anniversary of joining the forums was yesterday so I don't know.

[lukjad]

I'm going with what TuckLive said.

If not, some other Linux related event.

[wojox]

Anniversary July 27, 1940 Bugs Bunny made his debut in the Warner Bros. animated cartoon "A Wild Hare."

[dragos240]

One whole year of using linux non-stop. No using windows for an entire year.

One whole year of using linux non-stop. No using windows for an entire year. Wow!

Congratulations! That is quite an accomplishment! I haven't even done that yet ~ still using Windows and Apple computers.

Perhaps when Google Chrome OS comes out I can join you.

as long as that works for you thats awesome. congrats

personally i'd be upset if i didn't have windows (win 7 is a hell of a gaming platform). however i'd be more upset if i didn't have linux.

That's a great accomplishment. I think they should send you a free ubuntu t-shirt. :D

Congrats! I wish I could say I hadn't used Windows, but I go to school. :(

[dragos240]

Why not carry a usb drive. Linux on the go :D

[Swarms]

It shouldn't really be an acomplishment, it is kind of sad really. :(

[orion1315]

how is this kind of sad?

[ComputerHermit]

wooooooopeeeeedoooo

Your a winner you got a free trip toooooooo

douchebag beach

+1. I couldn't agree more.

Why is not using Windows for one year viewed upon as an accomplishment? This just shows that this forum is full of fanboys, or at least that's how it feels.

It's the freakin Ubuntu forum, it ought to be full of freakin Ubuntu fans.

Congratulations Dragos.=D>

A lot of schools and employers will suspend/sack you for doing such a thing

[jonian_g]

I haven't used windows for three years. My pc is linux only after a week playing with the liveCD.

So can I get 3 free ubuntu t-shirts? :)

Oh wait, same goes for my brother and my girlfriend. Can they get free t-shirts too? :D

What are fanboys? Sounds like your jealous.

You're kidding right?
Why is not using Windows for one year viewed upon as an accomplishment? Maybe because a lot of people here have been using Windows their entire life until now. Why should I view doing something for one year an accomplishment when I've already been doing it my entire life?

Honestly, I see nothing fanboyish in this thread. I love how when someone says something good about Linux or is excited that they've been using Linux for X amount of time, they get called a fanboy. Why aren't people allowed to get excited for something they like, especially on the official forum of that thing they like?

Thank you.

Basically, windows bashers, etc.

fanboy = demeaning way of saying fan

[xpod]

Looking at my own join date here it would seem my 3 year milestone also came & went yesterday.....how time flies.
I cant say that 3 years without Windows on my own computers is any kind of accomplishment though,considering i only used the thing for a few short months.Now if i`d never stumbled across Ubuntu as quickly as i did and was still using Windows 3 years later ....then that would certainly be some kind of accomplishment.

Strange, I love bashing windows and love bashing apple even more. Yet I used both windows and OSX today :lolflag: but I've used ubunutu a lot more.

That said I think it's quite an accomplishment not to use windows for a whole year. I know I couldn't do it. Sooner or later I'll be forced to fall back on either OSX or windows :|

[TheNosh]

Why not carry a usb drive. Linux on the go :D

i got in trouble for doing basically that at school. sure i never mounted their hard drives or did anything bad, but they didn't care.

[dragos240]

My school allows it.

[TheNosh]

My school allows it.

my school is clearly less smart. i tried to explain to them that i could actually get my work done faster in puppy linux than in the XP setup they had, but they insisted i must be using it as some kind of hacking tool to steal their passwords. however the kids that actually used OphCrack to get the admin passwords got in no trouble at all. (ironic, but good i suppose, mostly cause it was my ophcrack disk that they had borrowed)

[dragos240]

Lulz.

Oh, I have it installed, but some teachers *require* me to use Windows. Or they will fail you, even if you got the work done. He says that he's not training me for the unemployment market, and so that I must use Windows.

[praveesh]

Congrats, Dragos. Was it difficult? Did you sacrify any pleasure?

[MickS]

Congratulations Dragos, I don't think it is an accomplishment either(too easy) but it is certainly a milestone worth celebrating, I was insufferable smug when I passed it back in January.

Thank you.

I am not kidding and you are missing the point.
It is great that OP is satisfied with Ubuntu, but using Ubuntu should be so easy to use that the accomplishment is equal to drinking a glass of water, not winning an olympic medal.

So what I find sad is that many people find it that hard. The environment's (school, work etc.) fault of course.

[Dullstar]

I don't think my school would like that :(

Yes, it's like you plug in the usb drive, boot into Linux, and ten seconds later find yourself hanging from the ceiling. Okay, maybe not, but still.

Use Windows like they want, and find yourself in a pool of your own blood from Windows chewing you out for some random thing. There's a program on the school computers that will treat you like you're trying to hack into the system or something! Wanna know how to make it pop up? Doing normal things that are nothing bad.

[lisati]

Your one year anniversary of joining the forums was yesterday so I don't know.

Forgive me if I seem pedantic, but isn't an anniversary (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anniversary) annual (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annual) by definition?

[TuckLive]

Forgive me if I seem pedantic, but isn't an anniversary (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anniversary) annual (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annual) by definition?

Yes it is. I just woke up so I'm not catching the error.

[lisati]

Yes it is. I just woke up so I'm not catching the error.

I'm not overly worried, it was more of a relatively minor niggle on my part.

[gnomeuser]

That's a great accomplishment. I think they should send you a free ubuntu t-shirt. :D

Excellent I am coming up on my 12th year of using 100% Linux and my t-shirt collection is wearing kind of thin.

[dragos240]

Yay! 1 year of Linux!:D:D:popcorn::popcorn::KS:KS:P:P
