UpcomingTechnology.ORG - Ubuntu is Open Source with a great GUI and ample amount of features. I have met a quite a number of people saying ‘I have downloaded my free OS. I am ditching Windows and switching to Ubuntu‘. That’s easier said than done. Ubuntu is nice when it comes to it’s very large developer community and the new Unity (reminds me of Windows Charms and Mission Control). For any technology enthusiast, it’s always a moment of sudden interest in any free software initiative, particularly when it’s an Operating System. Ubuntu left me disappointed.
And, for once, some of what it can do looks genuinely useful.
The blog post reads, “We’re introducing a new WhatsApp app for Windows that loads faster and is built with an interface similar to the app's mobile version.”
Since the middle of February, customers of AMD graphics cards have been reporting situations in which Windows installations were entirely bricked after installing new drivers.
coming from previous versions of ubuntu, i think 12.10 is equivalent to windows vista. the reliability just isnt there.
my pc was also moving laggy but after resolving some drivers it worked ok. before i never once had that issue. even 12.04lts worked fine.
Use another Linux distro, first of all. Ubuntu is rarely considered the best anymore anyway.
And replace HOW? Is it SUPPOSED to "replace" them? It's an open source platform operating system that uses relatively few resources and performs all of the functions that the average computer user needs. Do you really think it's supposed to "replace" corporate marketed and developed OSes?
He put Ubuntu on a MacBook.
It's a pretty well known fact that Ubuntu is NOT supported by Mac hardware. Something about the way Boot Camp emulates the Windows BIOS really screws with Other OS options on macs.
I've tried many different times on my Macbook and iMac, and it is just way too complicated to get the drivers and whatnot for the mac hardware installed on a linux os.
Ubuntu on my PC was simple and took only a few minutes to get working perfectly.
To be totally honest i use Windows 8 and Mountain Lion more than Ubuntu. I just dont see the point of booting to Ubuntu if i cant run my music editing software (Pro Tools, Logic, and GarageBand), cant play games, etc. Open Source almost feels more closed... like im limited to programs made for linux, which there's such a lack of it's almost pointless.
I do love the effects though >.>
I use Ubuntu on my laptop without any issues. Ofcourse, I only use that for internet access and the occasional video, but for me it works great. I actually chose it over other os's, for this particular situation anyway.
"Ubuntu is still half baked. It cannot replace Windows or OS X!"
We all know that, the situation will never change while there are so many different distro versions out there.
As for ease of use and functionality Linux still have eons to go!
