Topic: Everyone doing cryptocoins should be using Linux as OS - page 2. (Read 5308 times)
Linux alone will not save you. You must know how to set it up properly + how to behave on internet
The point is that we should be able to understand that as Windows is needed to run Photoshop and play games, Linux is needed to handle your wallets and other important stuff. So, make a dual boot and access the os you want.
I did that for a long time but now I just cannot boot other thing that my Debian 7.
Regarding the "enter linux complexity" story. We all went through that. We learned to think and understand computer tasks using
the Windows methods so its natural to be a little confused at the begining.
There is a big reward for those that keep trying till they get things working though!
Linux is beautiful, you just need to get there ...

I completely agree with you. I have windows 7/windows 8/Ubuntu all on the same computer and a spare Mac.

I remember I had an older (2006) hp laptop that had nvidia on it. I installed Fedora Core on it, and luckily nvidia had linux drivers, you had to compile them, but they provided them.
Took me a while to get it to work correctly but I did. I have a computer right now that I would love to put linux on, but it has a nvidia card in it, screw that, 7 it is.

Thats what sucks. Its takes a long time to get used to but once you do linux becomes the best OS out there. Love the fact that ssh is built into terminal (unlike windows).
Oh I love linux, have ever since I was introduced in the 90's. Unfortunately my job requires windows for domain functions, even though I am I.T. I could get away with running linux on my laptop, I enjoy my job to much to get caught in a suprise audit

Tried to use, but can't really get use to it. Any suggestions? 
What are your most used apps? I struggled with it for a week and then finally got settled in. There is a stack overflow section for ubuntu so if you have any questions you can ask there.
Adobe softwares, LoL others I can get alternatives, the most important one is drivers...nvidia nvs won't work. Took me days before I figure out how and I forgot :p
If it is photoshop, gimp is a good alternative, and for nvida
Linus Torvalds: Nvidia, Fuck You! http://youtu.be/iYWzMvlj2RQ
Since I'm a graphic designer, photoshop is a must...
I like what he said, nvidia is stupid not to make drivers for linux. Wish there are more laptop with AMD gpu in it, mantle XD
You can use wine for photoshop.
isn't only photoshop cs3 or 4 is support?
Wine is an application that runs windows application regardless of what version it is....then I'll give it a try later
If you dont want to partition it, you can run a VM to make sure it works first.

That they do, but people eat them up.
Thats what makes apple go up. Then they sue other companies which stops them from advancing.

A live cd of xbuntu is 600 MB, that is the full os being able to run, yes packages are in a compressed environment, but you can't stick a full install of XP on a cd and expect it to run.
In fact I have XP instalation CD and it works fine even without running updates.
That is an installation cd, can you put that disk in your computer and play on xp before you install it?
My statement stands, please read it again if you didn't understand it fully, but I will help out. You cannot have a live cd of xp under 2GB, I am not talking about XP PE either, that isn't the full os.
I tried ubuntu before, and it was too complicated to get anything other than steam and the other normal apps to run on it for me. I like windows because its a middle of the road OS, half user friendly, half technical if you want to edit things.
I felt exactly like you, but after a week I got everything running!
But what about the games ? Gamers still need Windows
I stopped playing video games (I have a xbox but dont use it). If you have a extremely powerful computer then you can use WINE to open windows app.
Good luck running iTunes
What exactly is the purpose of that program compared to the alternatives? I really do not understand why I would want to have it.
Which program? WINE?
iTunes, of course. Wine has no real alternatives.
Well iTunes is a stupid program that you are FORCED to use by apple if you have an iPhone. Any app beats iTunes. I prefer spotify because for $10 you can listen to any song online or offline!
It sure sucks if you are a developer. That is why I prefer web apps, even if the tech is not there yet.
Tell me about it.
When I develop for android I can just email the apk to people for testing.
iOS devices, shit, I have to load certificates on each device and manually load the file either from xcode or have them on my wifi. Apple is aggravating when it comes to developers.
Let's not forget, android one time fee to become a developer. Apple, yearly 99 fee for ios.
And then they overprice their products.
That they do, but people eat them up.
