It's only a matter of time before everyone sees the light, though. The world contributes to Linux on all levels (the kernel, the main GUI, the applications that run on it, etc.), so it serves the community well. Windows has a committee of executives who repeatedly state, "We know what's best for you." That attitude is going to catch up to them (if it hasn't already).The problem with Linux, as of right now, is that, like you said, it's simply not user-friendly. Sure, it CAN do all this stuff (WINE is pretty much the second coming of Christ), but the average user (y'know, someone who still uses IE) doesn't want to (or even know how to) jump through all the hoops necessary.
Ubuntu's on the right track; we're getting there. It's still gonna take a bit of time.
So...what it is, as of right now, is Microsoft Surface or the iPhone...except on a desktop.• There will be a OSX-like dock, though how OS X-like is yet to be seen.
• Multi-touch gestures in photogalleries like two-finger zoom, flicking, and panning. Think of the photo app on the Microsoft Surface table.
• Multi-touch paint program where you can draw with 10 fingers (again, think of what you've already seen in Surface)
• Multi-touch piano app
• In-depth mapping application that pulls from Microsoft's Live Maps and Microsoft Virtual Earth
No, I feel the same way too. It reminds me of how IE 7 copied firefox's tabs, but they suck so much in comparison.Am I the only one who's tired of Microsoft copying Apple, but doing it poorly? How long until the masses wake up and realize that they should at LEAST buy Macs if they're going to pay for their OSs?
Maybe I don't quite get it...but are you saying that you don't recommend a music player as a web browser? Cause that's probably a good thing...As an itunes replacement it's worked perfectly fine for me. All the music I had that would not work in totem have worked perfectly fine here. Some of the addons are cool, like Attack of the Clones and Ghostbusters, both of which help clean up the library some. But I wouldn't suggest it as a web browser. Maybe by version 1 they will work with the plugin problem but yeah, if your looking for a media player I would say give it a shot.
you should google search (or search on the ubuntu forums) your wireless adapter. Most likely you won't have to do much to get it working (you just have to get the drivers, use ndiswrapper, etc)I just installed ubuntu, and I need help conecting to my wireless network.
I tested it once. It is very beautiful, but I found it to run rather slow. It needs a few updates before I'll consider it a permanent upgrade.BTW anyone tried KDE4? last thing i tried was the alpha
