I'm worried! I think I am actually addicted to Ubuntu. I don't know how but I just can't stop using it! And sadly my main PC is going into storage for a bit (long story) so my only Ubuntu hit will be on my Asus eee PC (It's just not the same!) :icon_frown:

Anyone else addicted?

I got into Linux only a couple of months ago and I too am addicted. I know this because I'll come home and turn on my laptop only to find I really have nothing to do... checked my email not long ago, no banking to do, no particular thing to play or look up... I just stare at the heron and make water ripples or spin the cube. Pathetic I know, but I enjoy it.

And we can't use them on linux machines :) Its funny they are free software but runs on a proprietary OS while not running on a free software system.

Glad I'm not alone

And I do that too! :) I love making my Screenlets fade in and out on the widget layer too :guitar:

As sad as that may seem, its fun! :) (and keeps me from getting any more bored ;))

I have tried to quit Ubuntu too, but it has never worked. Once you use Linux, other operating system look too "strange and awkward". So, does anyone know about Ubuntu Anonymous, to get some counseling?

YES! I am addicted! (Although I am using Arch now not Ubuntu)

Windows just seems so slow after rigging Arch to be optimized beyond belief!

why? why did you switch to Arch from Ubuntu? what made you the switch? is it better?

just curious....

Wouldn't say I'm addicted but there is some queer sense of pride in being able to say "I use Linux, I'm a rebel" that makes the experience somehow more alluring. I don't like to think I'm entirely swinging from Ubuntu's balls but in some ways I am. You never see such rabid enthusiasm in the Windows community, because most Windows users aren't aware there's ever been an alternative.

I enjoy tweaking it. And it's faster. And it has more bleeding-edge software (more software that is the most recent, as opposed to more software that is the most stable)

Yana, You Are Not Alone, last words spoken by the face of boe in series 2.

YANA is the name of the master in disguise as a human, The face of boe is later belived to be Capt. Jack Harkness, AKA Captain Jack, played by John Barrowman.

Totally off-topic I know..

On the topic, I think I am also addicted to ubuntu.

Linux can. Linux can. Use Linux.

That Linux can! That Linux can! I do not like that Linux can!

Do you like open sourcing plan?

I do not like that Linux can. I do not like the open sourcing plan.

Would you like to free source share?

I would not like to free source share. I would not like it anywhere. I do not like open sourcing plan. I do not like that Linux can.

Would you like it very stable? Would you like it to enable?

I do not like it very stable. I do not like it to enable. I do not like to free source share. I do not like it anywhere. I do not like the open sourcing plan. I do not like that Linux can.

Would you use it in a X-Box? Would you use it if it ROCKS?

Not on X-box. Not if it rocks. Not if very stable. Not to enable. I would not let them free source share. I would not let them anywhere. I would not allow open sourcing plan. I do not like that Linux can.

Would you? Could you? In your biz? Use it! Use it! Here it is.

I would not, could not, in our biz.

You may like it. You will see. You may like it if it's free!

I would not, could not if it's free. Not in our biz! It should never be!

I do not like it on the X-box. I do not like it that it rocks. I do not like it amongst our biz. I do not like it that it is. I do not like they free source share. I do not like that anywhere. I do not like that Linux can. I do not like you Linux man!

service! service! service! service! Could you, would you, as a service?

Not as a service! Not if it's free! Not in my biz! Man! Let not it be! I would not, could not, on a X-box. I could not, would not, if it rocks. I will not use it if its stable. I will not use it even to enable. I will not let them free source share. I will not let them anywhere. I do not like open sourcing plan. I do not like that Linux can.

Say! if in copyleft? always free copyleft! Would you, could you, copyleft?

I would not, could not, in copyleft.

Would you, could you, why so nervous?

I would not, could not, I'm NOT nervous. Not as copyleft. Not as a service. Not in my biz. Not if it's free. I do not like that it can, you see. Not if it's stable. Not on X-box. Not to enable. Not if it rocks. I will not let them free source share. I do not like it anywhere!

You do not like open sourcing plan?

I do not like that Linux can.

Could you, would you use what we wrote?

I would not, could not, use what you wrote!

Would you, could you, to avoid your bloat?

I could not, would not, avoid bloat. I will not, will not, use what you wrote. I will not compete with them as a service. I will not because it makes us nervous. Not in our biz! Not if it's free! Not if it is! You let me be! I do not like it on the X-Box. I do not like it that it Rocks. I will not use it if it's stable. I do not like that it does enable. I do not like they free source share. I do not like it ANYWHERE I do not like open sourcing plan!I do not like that, Linux can.

You do not like it. So you say. Try it! Try it! And you may. Try it and you may, I say.

Man! If you will let me be, I will try it. You will see.

Say! I like open sourcing plan! I do! I like that, Linux can! And I would use it because it's stable. And I could use it to enable...

And I could charge for providing a service. And I could copyleft without being nervous. And in my biz. And still source free. For you can still charge for a service fee!

So I will use it on the networked X-box. And I will promote it because it ROCKS. And I will use it because it's stable. And I will use it to enable.

And I will use it here and there. Say! I can use it ANYWHERE!

I do so like open sourcing plan! Thank you! Thank you, Linux man!
