Topic: Which operating system(s) do you use? - page 12. (Read 24089 times)
I'm using Windows 7, but I plan on giving Linux a go soon.
Try it out at an Apple store and use the Mac OS terminal, use some Linux commands, find out they work, play with it more, and voila, you realize it's same thing except you can run Photoshop.
The same thing is just apparent, while they do share UNIX commands (common legacy) if you go deeper the similarity ends.
I game on Windows, I run servers with Linux.
I keep hearing people having trouble setting Photoshop to work in Linux. But the thing is Photoshop should not work in Linux at all. Wine is just a clever compatibility layer.
I am not sure if some people realize that Photoshop is an application designed for Mac and Windows only.
It obviously has to do with the very low market share that Linux has.
Linux is not inferior/superior to other OS, is just a different OS for different people.
Personally I find Linux to be more simple to understand and use because is a transparent OS, and you have access to everything, endlessly versatile and customizable.
So, do I say that Linux is superior because of that? No...not really, all I say is use the system that fits you best.

Mac IS Linux. Here's my hierarchy on how good the Operating systems are for personal use, yes I've used all of them:
Windows > Mac OS > [Insert 500 other items here] > Linux > Bios Menu > Blue screen of death
Rating of each as a personal computer:
Windows: 10
Mac OS: 8.5
Linux: 1
Windows: Best operating system ever. Has unlimited capabilities if you know what you're doing.
Mac OS: Very good operating system. It is a very easy to use personal computer that has the same software as Windows while offering the same 'open source' strengths as Linux.
Linux: No point in this as a personal computer OS. Mac IS Linux. Same terminal, same commands, same potential, everything is nearly the same except Mac has much better support, usability and stability. For mining and servers though Linux is used a lot, so it's not a bad usage for that. However, as a personal computer, Linux is a no.

Sorry sir, you know nothing about what you're talking about.

Sorry Pedrog, I've used both of them and honestly can't tell any external difference between them as a personal use OS. The only main differences is that Mac can run things like Photoshop while Linux you have to go through Wine, and sometimes that takes days to set up to run properly.
Here other people in a thread that agree with me that there's basically no difference between the two: https://forums.freebsd.org/viewtopic.php?&t=1852
I'm not saying there's no advantage to using Linux, there is, in servers and mining. I just would not use it as a personal OS, even installing something so basic as 'Flash' for web browsers can take a beginner hours to set up, forget installing something like drivers as the drivers for 2 of my computers were not even available.
Sorry it's just true that OS X is taking over Linux users: http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2012/08/osx-killed-linux/ . Try it out at an Apple store and use the Mac OS terminal, use some Linux commands, find out they work, play with it more, and voila, you realize it's same thing except you can run Photoshop.

IT is not, it is ugly and thats all
You mean, aesthetically ?
Sure, there's less % of Bitcoin users, even lesser % of Litecoin users, technology is quite difficult for many people...
you call linux like it is something complicated ?!?!

If I could play all games on linux, I would use linux. People have no choice
Make linux compatible with all PC games and Windows is dead OS
How many ppl uses linux for HOME use not for servers or such stuff?!
I use it for "home use" for about 12 years now, more tech savvy crowd, like you find in this forum only use linux systems also...
If u take how many are WINDOWS and MAC users, you will see that there are only few % of linux users in world. I meand ofr home use not servers

On very, very rare occasions I use my boyfriend's laptop... it is a Windows XP.

M$ Windows is for degenerate corporate slaves..
Been using Linux since '92 -> epic hero
In you oppinion. In my oppinion linux is not for everyone. And i like windows cuz it looks a way much better than linux
I have same oppinion, linunx is not for evveryonne. Linux is for niice people, with muscular bodies and healthy apppetites, M$windows is for stricken goblin-people with hairy feet. FACT!
Hey! don't try annd derreail this epic thread. Sticck to the topic at hannd: Why M$windows reduces erectile power while Linux users can bench press 120kilo
Macc users should probably be healthy sinnce all they do is draw on their screen (a very expensive notebook and set of colored pencills, if you ask me). I guess we can just challk that up to mental disabbilities.
so stupid ....
what is you point
In me oppinion, he point be that Windows users are girly-men with bad food-behaviours. Them Linux men are heros. and the Mac men be drroling cretins with learning problem.
you dig?
