Maebros Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 that depends on the application mac and pc are more user friendly desktop environment. they are easy point and click interfqaces.. while linux does have a gui and is a lot more user friendly not than it used to be it still relies heavily on command line (this makes using it a little more tedious) linux is compl,etly open source which make it much more robust than pc and mac.

revoracing247 Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 i have to program on the linux machines at school and well im not a complete fan of it. it's just more tedious to navigate and move files and what not. not to mention i have to use emacs to program in and it takes a lot longer to program in then in visual studios or something.

n1ghtsn1p3r Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Are you wanting to know anything specific or is it just a general question? that depends on the application mac and pc are more user friendly desktop environment. they are easy point and click interfqaces.. while linux does have a gui and is a lot more user friendly not than it used to be it still relies heavily on command line (this makes using it a little more tedious) linux is compl,etly open source which make it much more robust than pc and mac. Some Linux distros are newbie-friendly (Ubuntu, LinuxMint, etc), while others are not (Gentoo, Slackware, etc). The former doesn't require a whole lot of command line usage, while the latter pretty much requires it.The interesting thing about Linux is that you can tweak almost any aspect of it how you like it, if desired, instead of being in a bit of a "walled garden" like Windows and Mac. This is the main reason why I liked using Gentoo. I could custom build and tweak just about everything I wanted to install during compile/install time. In this example, I noticed that I didn't have it set to install WMP and DivX support into a webbrowser media plugin, so I had to go tell it to include those features when I compliled/installed it This is my typical Gentoo window layout (I do something similar with other distros depending on if I need a command line window for something or not) i have to program on the linux machines at school and well im not a complete fan of it. it's just more tedious to navigate and move files and what not. not to mention i have to use emacs to program in and it takes a lot longer to program in then in visual studios or something. I got interested after coding on the UNIX server at school. I actually prefer vi, nano, or even a normal GUI text editor.From what I understand, once you learn the keyboard shortcuts for emacs or vi, you will actually become more efficient since your hands never have to leave the keyboard to navigate around. 2016 Ford Focus SE No build log yetDC Audio 1.2K2x DC Audio Level 2 10" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecityxignites Posted December 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 damn..that looks pretty complicated. i think i'll stick with windows 7. 2001 chevy cavalier Rebuild in progress what happens when your CD player skips and you accidentally drop a 22 hz sine bomb at an unholy volume on 7-8 year old subs?

n1ghtsn1p3r Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 It's not that bad. That's just an example of what you can do with it. That is an advanced level distro. Ubuntu is not nearly that complicated unless you want to dig around and get your hands dirty with. I suggest you at least give one of the Ubuntu flavors a chance. You can even run them straight off of a CD or DVD without installing just to see if you might like it. Also, Ubuntu seems to have a ton of helpful resources if you ever have an issue (most help articles are Ubuntu related), NixiePixel being one of my favorites If you're into gaming, there's not much in the way of major games, but Valve is working on bringing Steam to Linux along with a few of their games. 2016 Ford Focus SE No build log yetDC Audio 1.2K2x DC Audio Level 2 10" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glockman513 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 How does Linux compare to Mac and pc operating systems? First thing that comes to mind for me is that there are far less threats / attacks directed at ubuntu. It wouldn't surprise me one bit in this area if Mac started to catch up to windows in this area with the growing number of i-devices out there.

n8ball2013 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 there are far less threats because of a far smaller target demographic. There are some very major ones out there regardless of what Linux junkies tell you.

IBleedMusick Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 I run a few different Linux Distro's each has its strengths and weaknesses. For the common noob user I would say Ubuntu is top of the totem pole, it has all of the software you need to do just about anything. It is not difficult to navigate and if you are use to running a MAC there is a Macbuntu skin that will make your desktop look just like that of a Mac. As n8 said Linux has just as many threats as Windows or Mac they are not as apparent but their there. It's all a matter of what you want to use it for, running one of the Live CD's is a good way to test it for yourself and feel it out. My only gripe with Linux is the fact that Netflix won't support it so you can't instant stream with Netflix unless you make a Windows VM. 2013 Dodge Charger Build Log 1996 Ford Explorer XLT 5.0Build Log 2005 Honda Civic LX Coupe Build Log SMD SUPER SELLER!!!!My Selling Feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
