Windows 10, The Continuing Adventure

[Tom62]

One of the reasons, that I'm running Linux on my 8 year old laptop, is that the "obscure" NVIDIA graphics card was no longer supported by NVIDIA since Windows Vista. The overall performance I got with Windows 8 installed, was more than dreadful. Linux however provided me with a proprietary NVIDIA driver. Once I installed Linux (Mint 16 Mate) on my laptop, it looked like that I'd got a brand new fast machine.

That doesn't mean that Linux is for everyone. In some cases, Linux makes it "common-user-unfriendly" hard to install stuff. Some software can only be installed or upgraded using Terminal commands. Other software cannot be upgraded at all, because it the Linux version is no longer supported (like the Adobe Flash plugin for Firefox). I've also noticed that, in many cases, the "Linux App store" don't offer the latest software versions.

Oh, no it's not!

IS.

And that, I think is a fair and detailed assessment lacking misrepresentations.

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

What!?

[Davin]

Probably?

[Kekerusey]

Yep. However  ...

Bored now

Davin,

If you mean to call me a troll think again ... I actually WANTED a decent conversation defending my OS of choice that, after all, being the title pof the thread. You, however, decided to act the traditional Linux evangelist prat instead.

If that's what you are suggesting then all I can say to you, is, "Go Forth And Multiply, Sonny!" If not then fine.

Davin,

I think you missed the point of the image entirely. Which makes it all the more hilarious.

I actually WANTED a decent conversation defending my OS of choice that, after all, being the title pof the thread.

Oh, I didn't want a conversation that required any kind of defending or attacking, I just wanted to know what things you were talking about. If you wanted to defend or attack things, then we truly were not looking for the same kind of conversation.

You, however, decided to act the traditional Linux evangelist prat instead.

Yes... by asking you questions about what you said, I am a Linux evangelist.

If that's what you are suggesting then all I can say to you, is, "Go Forth And Multiply, Sonny!" If not then fine.

I thought you were done? Don't worry about me, you need to figure yourself out first.

[Kekerusey]

I think you missed the point of the image entirely. Which makes it all the more hilarious.

Quite possibly I did use the word "if" betraying a degree of uncertainty ... which pretty much makes you a dick doesn't it?

Which still means that you missed the point of the image entirely... and this is just making it even more hilarious.

[Kekerusey]

You really are a dick!

There is no need for name calling. I don't mind if you do, you won't be able to hurt my feelings, but it is against the rules here. Also, think before you post, so that you don't keep perpetuating misinformation or breaking forum rules.
