Windows 10, The Continuing Adventure

[Davin]

Sure, here are a few:

Windows is far better for the things I want to do and much easier to do it.

As far as I am concerned, pretty much everything that I run under windows works better than stuff under Linux[...]

As far as I'm concerned Windows just works, works on the latest hardware with the fastest drivers that make full use of the hardware they are written for.

And all are quite clearly personal opinion so all you managed to do was prove your own error. The last one I will go further on because the drivers are written [usually for windows] by the people who built the hardware so, in my opinion, the chances of some guy "in a garage" (sic) writing a better driver are highly unlikely. I believe linux support for newer hardware can be flaky, something borne out by my own experience seeking support for recent hardware in linux support forums.

Well, if that's just your opinion, then it doesn't have any real value, so there isn't anything useful to discuss. You might as well have just not posted anything.

Anyway, thank you for your time and effort. I think it a shame you didn't approach this more constructively as I am very much the kind of person who will listen to reason but instead you managed to fulfil my every expectation and now I have you tagged as just another Linux evangelist.

That is hilarious. I suppose I can't bother you to to actually read what I wrote, but that is your choice.

All I wanted to know, was some specifics behind what things you can't do in Linux that you can do in Windows. Perhaps something technical, but for a "technical person" you've provided nothing technical at all. Just vague personal opinions.

And, on that note, I think we're done

Yeah, you can quit whenever, it doesn't bother me either way. Have fun.

Keke, I'm not 100% sure, but I have a feeling that this is not over yet. Davin will be back...Monday.

Yeah, but I don't have to respond ... that means it's a question of whether I can stop myself. Good luck with that me!

Keke

He likes to argue, and always must win said argument. But of course that is just my opinion.

It depends on your usage of "argue", if it's the colloquial definition, then I don't like to argue nor is there any winning in this argument. The person said they were technical and that there were things they couldn't do in Linux that they could do in Windows. I wanted to know what those things were. Then the "discussion" tangented away and I was was questioned, so I answered those while the other person kept avoiding my questions. I kept trying to get back to what I was interested in while they were completely moving away from the type of discussion that I like. But like everyone else I suppose, you're allowed to express false statements about me in a public thread and then try to pretend it's just an opinion.

Hey, guys! It's the Linux evangelist! He's back. 

[Asmodean]

Also, the penguin thing is just nasty. 

...But that's not relevant to the ever-so-important O-part of the OS. Is relevant to The Asmo's general impression of it though, albeit slightly.

[Davin]

Hey, guys! It's the Linux evangelist! He's back. 

Oh not you too, Mags.  I bet you'll never guess what OS I'm currently using right now (note to the forum mods who can cheat, I am not spoofing my OS).

Yeah, I'm such a Linux evangelist that I'm using Win10 and happy with it.

I don't know what you're all talking about... I just like your new title, I even put it right below my psychedelic spoon.

I wonder how many other things I'm an evangelist of, since I attempted to alleviate fears about upgrading to Win 10, I must also be a Windows evangelist as well. I also said that OS/X is not that bad either, so I'm also an Apple evangelist. I mean, it's funny and I don't mind it, I just don't understand the application to me. I know some people who I would consider much more fitting for the title of "Linux Evangelist," and they would have a good laugh if I told them I was labeled as one.

There!
I fixed it!
Better!?

Blah, blah, blah...

But you have to have the last word don't you?   

[Kekerusey]

But you have to have the last word don't you?

Why not?

The Asmo was here.















...Is HIS last word. HIS. 

[OldGit]

Oh, no it's not!

Why...? Why...?
You know he's gonna answer, right?

Yep. However these responses are not just for you. You do realize that this is a public forum right? So if you don't want to keep responding, then don't.

Speaking of which, I want to address your misrepresented statement about the drivers:

The last one I will go further on because the drivers are written [usually for windows] by the people who built the hardware so, in my opinion, the chances of some guy "in a garage" (sic) writing a better driver are highly unlikely. I believe linux support for newer hardware can be flaky, something borne out by my own experience seeking support for recent hardware in linux support forums.

For almost every driver in Linux, I default to the proprietary drivers. Which means the drivers that the hardware manufacturers wrote. I know, it's weird for Kekerusey to be so arrogant and so embarrassingly wrong, but there it is. Actually, except in the cases ancient hardware (where even finding a modern Windows driver is impossible), I can't think of a time when I used a generic device driver in Linux. At least not in the last decade or more when AMD finally reopened the ATI OpenSource stuff. Until then nVidia had been ahead of that game until some recent BS this year.

So for the count, Kekerusey claims that some vague things are easier to do in Windows than in Linux, but can't seem to give any kind of description as to what, and when finally making specific and clear claims has been wrong.

Be done with it, as far as I'm concerned I have corrected the your misrepresentations and am satisfied.
