Russian Linux fanboys rejoice! Russia embraces free software, a huge blow to Microsoft - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Doriol;27036563]huh windows doesn't give you the option to do any of those things[/QUOTE] Does Linux offer those opportunities to a user without programming experience? It doesn't quality as a feature/option if the user is required to code it on his/her own.

[QUOTE=Im Crimson;27036652]Does Linux offer those opportunities to a user without programming experience?[/QUOTE] yes many desktop environments do

[QUOTE=Im Crimson;27036652]Does Linux offer those opportunities to a user without programming experience?

[sp]OPERATING SYSTEMS LIKE THIS WILL TAKE US ALL THE WAY TO BERLIN![/sp] I don't really like Linux but good for them I guess.

They said the word free. there going back to communism! but really good for them

how is this a huge blow to microsoft

[QUOTE=imasillypiggy;27038927]They said the word free. there going back to communism! but really good for them[/QUOTE] Hardly, it's just smarter spending, why waste money on buying software, when there's free alternatives that are equivalent, and can sometimes outperform paid software. [QUOTE=thisispain;27039086]how is this a huge blow to microsoft[/QUOTE] "Sticking it to the man" I suppose.

[QUOTE=DrLuke;27031168]Windows sucks anyways. It's only good for games. I just don't like how it thinks it has to do everything by itself and take control out of my hands. I just reformattet today and raged alot again.[/QUOTE] We're a minority group of people who know how to use a computer and OS, Windows is designed by default for people who don't.

[QUOTE=Hostel;27039391]We're a minority group of people who know how to use a computer and OS, Windows is designed by default for people who don't.[/QUOTE] to be fair, the same thing would be said about linux if it was what most people grew up using or were introduced to when first using a desktop computer

[QUOTE=SIRIUS;27039628]well of coarse, windows and mac os is difficult when your so used to... quality...[/QUOTE] lol what

[QUOTE=Doriol;27039637]lol what[/QUOTE] lol nvm, i misunderstood the meaning of your post for something else

Isn't linux like the hardest to get viruses or something.

[QUOTE=imasillypiggy;27039673]Isn't linux like the hardest to get viruses or soemthing.[/QUOTE] in general yes

yes, pretty much...

[QUOTE=Van-man;27034776]Valve took their time to port Steam to OSX port, it would only make sense to make a Linux equivalent.[/QUOTE]no, there's no games for linux why would they waste their time

[QUOTE=thisispain;27039086]how is this a huge blow to microsoft[/QUOTE] Because they're going to stop buying Microsoft's products in large numbers. MS just lost a huge customer. [QUOTE=TehWhale;27039794]no, there's no games for linux why would they waste their time[/QUOTE] Because if they ported Source and GldSource games to Linux, they could reach a large market.

I'd like to see where this goes. Every operating system has its advantages and disadvantages. I've always used Windows so I don't know how OSX and Linux run. I'm not going to put my worthless two cents in on a nerdy debate about operating systems that do the damn same thing.

Linux: Easy to use in the case of certain distros (Debian-based, i.e. Ubuntu or Mint) but difficult in others (Gentoo), better for servers, generally faster and whatnot, flexible and open, free (except enterprise Red Hat) Windows: Plays games, sometimes is a bitch Mac OSX: Not flexible at all, but looks cool (in my opinion) and can't do shit other than what your grandmother would do

Putin [b]WILL[/b] make steam run on linux. Suddenly episode 3 is delayed by another 27 years.

[QUOTE=Doriol;27035390]no it's actually probably because closed source software is shitty[/QUOTE] im just trying to make fun of hardcore russian nationalists. let me have my fun ;(

[QUOTE=certified;27031785]For every high level boycott of MS products, our XBL bill increases :( I swear, if my bill rises past $65, I'm selling my Xbox and buying a ps3 with the money I have saved from my allowance. 16 YRs old and my parents are forcing me to pay that damn bill with my allowance. Thats 9 hard weeks of constant tedious shit.[/QUOTE] Boohoo, i've been doing that since was was 14.

I'd happily use linux if it had same support windows has. Almost no app I use runs on linux and the "alternatives" are just laughable.
