Linux VS Windows

[deathball619]

Whats better Linux or Windows?

For the sake of simplicity, include any Posix compliant as Linux.

It depends on what you want to do. I prefer Linux for most things, but I dual boot with Windows because some games I like to play aren't available on Linux and don't run or don't have satisfactory performance in Wine.

I like Linux. I use it for so many things. but i kept the windows for only the sake of games.

Windows is the most used Operating System.

It is easy and looks nice.

The only customer that I had asking for something different than windows

was well....a blank HDD!

I have no choice but to use Linux. I don't have a hard drive.

Are you using a LiveCD or LiveUSB, and what distribution?

On topic, I prefer Linux and other Unix-like OSes. I love the simplicity and power offered by the CLI and all of the Unix tools. I also like the increased stability, the multi-user system, and the ability to compile my own kernel and other software.

I also find that if I have a problem on Windows, I can fix it about 80% of the time with little effort, 15% of the time with lots of effort, and 5% of time be unable to solve it. With linux, I find that I can fix almost any problem in five minutes.

I also find Unix familiar, and Windows almost alien. That's just a symptom of using Linux for so long though.

I've been running off of a 1 Gig USB stick for 7 months :lockd:

My OS is NimbleX Sub100V. It's a Slackware based distro. There are a few versions: NimbleX 2007: The latest stable. Only 199 Megs. NimbleX 2008 Beta: It's the latest Beta. It's 16 Megs overweight: 216 Megs. Then there is NimbleX Sub100V, which is 99 Megabytes, but features a full fledged KDE-based distro with Instant Messaging, Browsing, Image Editing, and the likes. Then finally, there is an edition which is like 68 Megs, which is just a core KDE based distro without much functionality.

Their webpage is NimbleX.net

NimbleX 07 has... 6 WM's i think. NimbleX 08 has 9, and Sub100V has only KDE, but can be expanded to have mote.

That's complex. By all means, go with Windows, if you can.

[KentonBomb]

I will never go back to windows. Seriously, I would rather pay for Linux that get Windows for free.

Wow. Harsh. Well, we all have our likes and differences which make us different, so have fun.
