How Windows is winning Linux on the desktop?


The situation of games on Linux has been much worse. Today there are many emulators, simple games and few commercial games of high quality, but there is still much to be desired in this area. Even if the Linux user searches much, you will not find as many games as there are for Windows, which at this point is unbeatable. If you are a gamer, Linux is unlikely to appeal to you. Unless, of course, you do not use Linux to play and have a video game for fun.

Microsoft Office is the best, most used, most complete and most famous package of office tool in the world!

Much of what you do in MS Office, can be done in LibreOffice. Still, the standard Windows office suite takes advantage of having much more complete tools (though the average user may not make a difference) and is more popular.

Each Linux distribution is a different system, although all are Linux. For the novice user can be a problem the existence of hundreds of different distributions because one instruction is not always suitable for all Linux distributions. When talking about Linux, the beginner has no idea of the existing sea of distros.

Many well known programs such as image and design editors and other commercial software of featured in industry, which are standard on the market, are difficultly to have a version to Linux , forcing qualified professionals not to use Linux or to specialize in less complete software.

Windows supports more hardware than Linux.

I won't try to respond to all the misconceptions on OP's post, but I will tackle this one.

It's not true.

What is true is that Microsoft will only allow Windows to be sold pre-installed on "certified Windows computers," which means that Windows users almost never encounter a hardware compatibility issue because MS ensures they will not.

Linux supports much more hardware than Windows. For an example, that a quick look at the variety of versions of Debian that are available: amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips, mips64el, mipsel, ppc6el, s390x

Where there are issues with hardware support in Linux, it's generally because the manufacturers of proprietary hardware (in particular manufacturers of certain printers and USB and PCI wireless cards and the occasional video card) make it difficult by concealing hardware information needed to create Linux drivers.

the bot wants us to train it how to be a better bot, because on every *nix forum it gets banned or has its threads closed/locked.

And HuangLao is liar!

HuangLao lied when he said that I has been getting around on openbsd forums!

HuangLao is liar!

HuangLao will be moderate or banned because of the lie that he spoked?

If someone will accuses me of having been banned from any forum, please post the source of the answer!

I did not continued trolling Ubuntu Forums.

Who lives in the past is museum!

In past, Theo De Raadt threatened to attack the NetBSD project machines: http://www.osnews.com/comments/1455

But this is past.

@ChuangTzu

If Theo de Raadt post here in Linux Questions, you will say that he (Theo de Raadt) threatened to attack the NetBSD project machines in past?

Please ignore ChuangTzu, he is a liar.

@ChuangTzu,

Tell me why you concluded that I was banned from the openbsd forum?

Liar!

Oh, please.

ChuangTzu may possibly be mistaken, but he's not a liar.

Heck, I was mistaken once. I think it was back in 02 . . .

If you wish to defend your statements, do so with facts, not with accusations.

Furrfu.

@frankbell

Please ask to ChuangTzu speak because he concluded that I was banned from the openbsd forum!

ChuangTzu can not speak because is a lie, the source of the accusation does not exist!

See also this thread. I can't link to the exact posts because it's been locked, but you'll get the idea from a scan of it. Lots of copy-and-pasted content between that thread and this one.

Hi, pompous ninja, we've spoken before.

You're playing a game called "Bait the Trap". You ask a question you already know the answer to and when the time/response is right you snap the trap and trip them up. I know it well.

You're actually a pretty smart guy, and I can understand where you're coming from. Precisely. But you're really wasting your time and abilities on this IMO.

P'haps something more worthwhile would be more beneficial to you in the long run?

There is no "OpenBSD forum".

This was posted to openbsd-misc: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=151543673001525&w=2

It's the same post minus the quotes, as the one posted to the Debian forums: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=135804

I have no idea why anyone would post about Theo de Raadt supposedly changing his mind about virtual machines on the Debian forums...
