Quote from DamnImGood: “So your alternative is to just make a bunch of statements and anyone who disagrees doesn't say anything?” nope, it's more fun when you can get together collectively or collaborate constructively.

topics are so much funner when you dont debate about them

hmm no, i keep trying to explain things and he interprets them too literally. I guess i will admit defeat, but it's frustrating when the concept is there but the person doesnt see it. Maybe im just bad at expressing or something.

you take things too literally...

...if that isnt enough to convince you, then it is pointless to continue this comparison. When i mean the average user will eventually come to the standard of a programmer, i mean, the future is pretty much open source. Well i take that back, i realized there are probably guis that will replace this. You know, i hear that there are apps for making apps. ;|

Quote from Aleksandr: “I forgot to mention that usually the viruses that effect Linux are written by professionals and can be far more damaging.” i forgot to mention that linux is highly dependent on hierarchies of permissions. big difference here.

GALIO IS OP lol.

Quote from DamnImGood: “I don't necessarily think Windows is better. I think Windows is better for most people, and yes, that is because of its design. Windows made computers accessible to everyone. People bitch and complain about Microsoft 24/7, but if it wasn't for them, we wouldn't have computers like we do today. I'm glad things worked out the way they did. But let's back up a bit here. The OP made a thread titled "Linux can pwn Windows", and then anti-climatically wrote, "Fact." Obviously n…

how sadistic

Quote from DamnImGood: “Human beings are generally visual creatures; we respond better to GUIs than to command lines. It's more intuitive to click on an icon that looks like the thing we want rather than bringing up a black and white box and typing a bunch of abbreviated commands. Command line works for some, but not the majority. And I'm not bashing command lines. When dealing with databases I refuse to touch GUIs and do the whole thing via command line. But managing a database is far simpler t…

i think the only thing that has helped me is to write down what my objective is, compare different methods to approach the objective and write it down, but sorry man, haven't done it in a long time.

Quote from DamnImGood: “I never said there wasn't a reason to use Linux. There are many reasons to use Linux. I have a RAID5 media server that's running Linux. Majority of the Internet is run on servers running Linux. The topic is Linux can pwn Windows, yet the only argument so far is that it's more customizable. Really? That's it? That's the best the Linux camp can offer? And so far no one has mentioned how it's more customizable. What can Linux do that Windows can't? And even if it can, who ca…

Quote from DamnImGood: “Again, so? I don't think anyone is challenging the idea that *nix systems are more customizable. I just don't see how it's relevant to 90% of computer users. There are people who spend every waking moment obsessing over their cars and fine tuning them, but most drivers just get in, turn the key, and go to wherever they want. They are mobile OSes though. They were designed for netbooks and mobile devices. Honestly there's way more to Windows than to Android. Windows is ver…

Quote from DamnImGood: “So? Most computer users want to customize only a few things. You can't be serious. You're trying to pass off mobile versions of Linux as any kind of comparison to a full-fledged desktop OS? Wow.” Uh, true, however besides the majority who would rather be satisified with the bare minimum, many are probably trying to find ways to add more functionality to what their computer can do. If you experienced a good deal of linux and went back to windows, you would ultimately be fr…

just the mere fact that you customize just about anything in unix makes it incredibly powerful. Just for those who don't think that linux can be userfriendly, im pretty sure you havent heard of moblin, jolicloud or android.
