Why is Ubuntu so hyped?

Did you ever try to do the same thing for both Linux / Windows? If you did, then you'd know how difficult it is to learn and understand Windows' API, compared to POSIX.

Linux clearly isn't the OS of you if you're not even able to understand that logic.

It's hard because we "Linux users" don't care about the Qtk (windows) we just use command-line for everything. And it's not just that it has to be hard, is that people who use it have a reason, programmers, hackers, crackers, who like basic stuff, Windows users just want to click a single button, but doesn't care about the whole command process in the background. Linux users want more control about what the computer does.

Mac is so simplified... At least with Windows (7) you can mess around with the program files. Also - USBs, cost, and compatibility.

People buy Macs so that they don't ever have to do anything computer related. No viruses, optimization issues, or trojans. With Macs, you're set. With Windows, you can game. With Linux, you can get frustrated trying to write complex command processes you don't quite understand, but at the same time feel empowered.

Totally. It's not even related! XD

Besides, Defias is right. Windows is good for playing games. And that's what I use it for. For programming, nothing better than a Unix or Linux based OS, in this case, Ubuntu.

Yeah, it looks iffy, but been using mine from there for months now. Not revoked by MS and authenticated, so it'll do for what it's worth.

there are distros you pay for, it's not like you can'y buy it, if you want to ;)

The issue is you assumed that Linux being 'a powerful beast' meant there were things that "Linux can do that Windows can't." From the perspective of an average user, there aren't. That is what I meant by my first statement.

My second statement addressed in general a couple ways Linux is 'a powerful beast' regardless of the lack of the superficial ability to do something that Windows can't. I was vague because it was only tangentially related to your question.

Lastly, the users freedom is the catalyst for the strength of Linux. In general GNU/Linux allows the user freedom over much of the OS, but I had left GNU out of it because much free software in general can run on Windows. So, that leaves us with the essential case of the kernals in question. If something is broken in Linux or you want to customize it, you have the option to change it and share your result. With a Windows kernal, you have to wait for Microsoft to fix it. Even if Linux isn't currently 'a powerful beast' by whatever measure, it has far more potential than Windows.

As a side note, you do have the option of purchasing a Linux OS. Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a good example.

Then stop acting like one and calm down. It's nobody's fault but your own that you had no idea what you were doing and shouting at everybody won't get you any help.

"I'm supposed to play cs:go with 60 fps while with the windows version my fps is over 225"
Ok so you are not exactly saying that it should run as good, you complain that it runs only at 60 rather than the 225 that you get on windows. Very different.

"I cant open steamchat/browser while I'm in-game ..."
Again a wine problem, there has been problems recently with wine and the steam overlay on some games.

Does ubuntu tell you that you will be able to run this windows game at a higher that 60 fps ? Some games don't even work with wine, what would you post then ? "UBUNTU IS SHIT IT DOESN'T RUN GAMES !!!!!!!!!"

You do realize that ubuntu and wine are 2 very different things right ?

And before you complain about the linux of a game not working well, who do you blame if a console port doesn't work as well on windows ? Microsoft ?

Why? I tried it and didn't like it, so for me it's crap.

I think he mentioned being on ubuntu... :D

Well for example.. I cant call with my phone or take pictures, but I can surf on the internet with it. In your opinion, its not broken. OK then.

It's actually a full OS, just like Windows. If you want to run an OS inside an OS, inside an OS, inside an OS (OSception) you can always try using VirtualBox. (Assuming you have enough free ram for all theses OSes running together.)
