Everyone, vote on the operating system you're working on from a daily basis.

Posting the pros and cons are welcomed :)
 


Linux allows for much more control than Windows, something I can't seem to live without :)

lmao, as usual, more sarcastic responses than real ones.

Anyone here had success running Leopard on a PC?
And is Linux user friendly yet? Ive tried it a few times (most recent was 3 years ago) and its still harder than shit to use.

I love Vista, but I hate dealing with instability and spyware/viruses. I like the ease of use, and I like my programs...

Anyone switched over and like the results? (Of either Leopard or Linux)

The Ubuntu core is quite user friendly, it has a graphical installer and a graphical package manager + a lot of the features are from windows anyway. Kubuntu uses KDE which is pretty much the Windows equivalent of a linux GUI, if you want hard go for a Gentoo stage 1 install :)
 
what about running windows apps? and things like... installing stuff.. is it still all command line? or have they created a double click installer yet... lol

Well it depends on what you want to install, most of the apps are available through the graphical single click installer, but for anything obscure that you are looking for require compiling through the console, but it's easily done if it has no dependencies, and most programs are in the ubuntu repositories if you are using ubuntu so no problems there
 
Hmmm....
Maybe Ill toy with a dual boot for a little bit and see how I like it...

Does Ubuntu have the dual boot option during install?
 
OS X all the way baby. If I need Windows progs, I just fire up Parallels and run them on OS X :D

Yup it sure does, you just gotta partition properly so you don't fuck up your windows install
 
Got a second HD in this bad bitch thats just chillin waiting for some action... Probably give it a run in the next week... haha
 
I'm happy with XP at the minute.

I like the idea of being super kool l33t hacker thing and playing with Linux / Ubuntu etc, but i can't justify it. I'm lightweight when it comes to Apps.

Are there any advantages?
 
Not really if you like simplicity... At least not for a long term windows user... I've tried it a few times, and while its fun to do new things, its tougher than shit to get used to.

If you know it, im sure its better, as most people that have Linux down, can make everything work how they want. But for most of us, it wouldn't be really any better, aside from the stability, and the extremely limited amount of spyware/virus penetration...

Linux vs. Windows is kind of like sex with a Guatemalan whore.

You can bareback it (Windows), and its quicker, a bit easier, and more enjoyable up front.

Or, you can play it safe (Linux), take the time to put the rubber on right, get used to the feeling, and let it all pay off later when you can sleep knowing you wont have leakage in the morning.
