View Full Version : Which OS do you prefer ?
Hello guys!
Which OS do you prefer? and why?
In my case I prefer Windows,
is not so good but maybe is the universal OS ,a lot of appz and support
I tried Linux- Ubuntu I think its good but software incompabilities make me crazy :rolling_eyes:
and Mac I have not try it so much
http://www.angelux.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/windows_vs_linux.jpg
I had to vote for windows...not because I prefer it but because I don't know how to use linux.
:redface:
I like the price of pc's but Mac OS is pretty nice.
I choose Windows too, it's a nice system. It fails here and there, but what can one do? All major applications and games are developed aiming it. It's clearly the most used system in the world. For this reason I believe it's the most criticized and attacked. Why are there some many viruses/trojan/malware in windows? Because everyone uses it :smile: Think the other way, imagine if there were half windows users using linux? I'm sure a new wave of linux viruses would arise as well.
On the other hand I have already tried linux in the past, if my memory goes well it was red hat v.5 I guess. Back then we had to struggle to find hardware drivers, specially for modems (winmodems). Also I remember how geeks warned about the possibility of permanent burning the crt monitor if wrong refresh rates were configed. It was nothing like the vanilla windows :tongue: It's not that I hate linux, I love it and it's concept and I am willing to try again, as I am sure the new distros are a lot more friendly than when I first tried.
Still using Windows XP SP3 :smile:

Linux makes more fun but you don't knor how to use it???? Thats funny:biggrin:

Me, too:cool:
I use Windows a lot more than any other OS. Windows Vista and XP to be precise.
However, I do use Ubuntu quite a bit as well, and I can only say if you don't know how to use it, that is no excuse. 9.04 is the best version yet, with support for many more WLAN cards, and designed to be more "out-of-the-box". Learn how to use the "Synaptic Packet Manager" and the various methods to install programs and you are set. If not, there is a lot of support to be found on the Ubuntu forums. If you feel that this is still too much, just use it as a live CD and learn from there.
But what value is my opinion? Perhaps I'm a qualified Linux admin, and was using it before GNOME was released. No. I started using it in April 2009. There is only one way to start and it begins at Ubuntu Home Page | Ubuntu (http://www.ubuntu.com/) (or which other distro you want, but Ubuntu definitely has the most active forums, and the most publicised about; as you progress you can switch to another distro).
I like to use window xp service pack 3
Reason it is universal mean to say u can easily use any good software.
I have always used Windows since 3.1
That's because Windows have more specs to choose from and most software is for it.
Before that it was Dos.
I choose Windows too, it's a nice system. It fails here and there, but what can one do? All major applications and games are developed aiming it. It's clearly the most used system in the world.

yeah alpacino !! that's really truth :top:

Maybe people have a bad image or perception about linux like it's too dificult or rare that's why not too much use it.You have a great point :smile:
So,
No one is using Linux?? :confused2:
Me lol..in fact I'm the only one who voted.
Sbfreak used it, i think.I use windows xp sp3 like most people.Don't need/want something new.
Windows most friendly! well most of the time haha!
I've seen linux, I like it, but I wouldn't want to run into some compatability problems. I'll stick to the friendliness of windows for now .
I prefer Windows cos its intuitive to use
Windows because most applications are developed on it for it, however can be annoying sometimes. But Linux would be my 2nd choice if I had one because its a very fast OS.
On the contrary..most applications are developed on linux.:rolleyes2:
A good example is VLC.
He means, that all of most-used application has written in MS VS, so it Windows-based.
For me it is Windows, coz it's only system that i have at this time. Saw Mac OS, really nice thing...
my vote for osx. why? because it combines the positive aspects of windows and linux.
the os itself is a highly customized bsd and open source.
contrary to linux all the major desktop apps are available.
no malware, virii whatsöver.
as expected from a bsd it's transparent and solid. with all the usual unix benefits.
the avg. osx-only app seems to be well designed. and by 'designed' i mean not just the optical aspects.
application management is very easy and straight forward. actually it's much better than on linux and windows.
desktop features are really handy. not just toys without actual use.
of course the biggest plus for me is what i called 'usual unix benefits'. elaborating that would be way too long for here but depending on your knowledge you know what i mean ...

Something confuses me. If linux is opensouce and freeware and OSX is based on linux, why isnt OSX freeware and opensource? Ive used Mac and Linux before and I think it has and will make an even bigger impact in the future, dont get me wrong I like Linux although mainly being a Windows user.
Something confuses me. If linux is opensouce and freeware and OSX is based on linux
it's not. it's based on bsd as i wrote.
, why isnt OSX freeware and opensource?
osx is open source as i wrote. but not freeware.
however $29 is a joke. don't you think?

Good point SBFreak :tongue:

no, it's about the license. by buying the $29 bucks thing you're a legit owner so you are officially allowed to use a hackint0sh. the osx usage terms are not restricted to apple hardware :wink:

Well there is one good thing I like about Steve Jobs decsion, if there is a flaw somewhere in OSX someone is bound to find out and those whom are fans of Apple and also knowledgeable enuf in programming ,Im sure will help to patch the opensource codes.

(joking Linux, Mac is good too)
Of course its a good thing. just look at firefox and any other well maintain opensource code. Just consider pgp for a moment - rock solid.
But then Windows have millionair programmers working innovate and patch holes too.

thats ok man, its not really important :wink: Just a a point of view.
all of these codes that you have to write to download drivers
the whole console concept seems wrong for me..
I like to use my mouse better than my keyboard
all of these codes that you have to write to download drivers
you lost me there
the whole console concept seems wrong for me..
you mean terminal?
I like to use my mouse better than my keyboard
sure, just as you like it.
so where's the on-topic part?
you lost me there
2 years ago I tried Ubunto (still have the installation CD by the way).
I read somewhere that in order to install the drivers of the USB modem I had, I needed to write like 5 lines in the
you mean terminal?
yeah, that's the term..
and don't get me wrong.. I know my way around computers.. it's just that Windows' so much more convenient than Linux or its distributes..
sure, just as you like it.
I lost YOU there.
it's just that Windows' so much more convenient than Linux or its distributes..
sure, it heavily depends on what you wanna do
Hey guys! Let me just ask one thing. Would you rather install Windows 7 or XP?
saebrtooth
26.02.10, 10:40
@yoco
Windows 7 has greatly improved upon XP, this includes the installation so of course W7
I guess you're right, it's just that I'm really used too XP and I don't know a thing about 7 :rolleyes2:
saebrtooth
26.02.10, 10:56
really and this is from my many years experience of using windows and msdos. Everything has improved so much dude I remember if W 3.0 crashed for whatever reason u had to reinstall everything except for DOS.
anyway...
If you find XP easy to use then you'll find W7 even better :wink: and if you got x64 hardware it'll be even better cos of the extra ram

26.02.10, 12:31
Im using Mac OS X and its a very smooth and comfortable operating system.
When I used Windows XP I had to reinstall the whole system every 6 months in the best case, because its performance decreased rapidly. Now I m using the same Mac OS X installation for 2 years and there is still no reason to reinstall it.

and if my PC is 3 years old and I'm afraid of drivers compatibility ? especially for the x64..

26.02.10, 13:25
@Ive got three machines 1 XP and 2 W7
I havent needed to reinstall any of my OSs. My XP has been running for about a week and installed about 3 years ago.
I guess it depends on how you maintain your machine

and if my PC is 3 years old and I'm afraid of drivers compatibility ? especially for the x64..
Thats right you will need to make sure there is upgraded drivers for your really old hardware. there are also sites on the web that specialise in supporting old hardware for the x64 system.
you can try linux in virtual machines,
best is VirtualBox (way better than VMware)
@Ive got three machines 1 XP and 2 W7

I güss it depends on how you maintain your machine
no, dü to factors like the registry e.g. a windows system dös get messy over time and taking good care will not prevent this.
but it depends on what you do. let's say you would install all apps once and never touch or update it again then it would be fine for years :P
saebrtooth
26.02.10, 23:45
yeah of course dude I think every one takes that into consideration
and yes I play multiple games and have other stuff on each of them and some mutiple copies on each. Especially games mmo lol.
I must admit from what I read about Linux the registry equivalent is like te FF profile in a single dir del that profile and the installation dir and it all gone. But in Windows its all in one massive file so harder to maintain. But you just need to know how and ive been doing it like this for yrs and its more of a bother to tell u the turth but the upside and thats why I choose this OS is because of the games andvaried appz I use.
I wish that there was a Linux equivalent of MS and excellent emu for Windows, Im stll looking and when I do humhahaha I dual boot one of my machines at start then maybe....
from what I read about Linux the registry equivalent is like te FF profile in a single dir
no, there is nothing like the registry on any other os.
saebrtooth
27.02.10, 02:24
no, there is nothing like the registry on any other os.
On Linux isnt there a config dir that holds all the settings? Windows registry an also be used to hold settings for an app but some sw use a profile dir too?
So called equivalent not exact copy
On Linux isnt there a config dir that holds all the settings?
no

so ur saying an installed folder has one root (not admn root) and if that program for example is installed in
c:\programs\[video editing software]
(I know it may not be the default for appz)
and if [video editing software] were to be deleted all traces of [video editing software] would be gone?
so ur saying an installed folder
"installed folder"? what's that supposed to mean?

c:\programs\[video editing software]
(I know it may not be the default for appz)
and if [video editing software] were to be deleted all traces of [video editing software] would be gone?
ah, i think i know what you mean.
first of all there're no drive letters on unix. but yes, depending on what the developers are doing everything could be in one dir.
server apps are a good example. normally they don't need kinda 'profile' dir for every user so depending how they were compiled all would be able to sit in one dir.
let's take the apache webserver e.g. depending on the compilation options you can have it all in one dir. and if you wanna get rid of it just delete that dir.
so yes, that's possible.
saebrtooth
27.02.10, 03:19
What ur saying is for specific circumstances. Im referring to whats in general. We can find numerus progs for Windows that just uses one dir in fact we dont have to go far as some of the mods here uses only one dir in their installation.
emule can also use two dirs in its intallation or just one thats program specific as in ur example.
Im saying in general is there a config dir like windows's %appdata% for Linux where appz can store their data whilst still being installed in their own dir?

ah, sorry, got you wrong. still thought about the registry.
no, there is no %appdata%

If what you say is true, meaning every application is "only" installed in one dir and or its sub dirs and if wanting to completley delete any application one would only need to del the dir and sub dir where the app is stored because the app's data is only stored in one dir (or its sub dirs) then I must say that Linux in this respect is much much easier to maintain.
If what you say is trü, meaning every application is "only" installed in one dir and or its sub dirs and if wanting to completley delete any application one would only need to del the dir and sub dir where the app is stored because the app's data is only stored in one dir (or its sub dirs) then I must say that Linux in this respect is much much easier to maintain.
and even if the files are cluttered it's still way more easy cause every config file is just text and unlike windows if you're doing something via terminal it's exactly done as you wrote it in there. no file locks, countless confirmations etc.
that's called 'user friendly' :wink:
So can anyone explain to me this 32 & 64 bit Windows? I don't really get it. Can anyone have 64bit?
Try reading this.
x86-64 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64)
I'll try, but I doubt I'll understand any of this :redface:
Ok noob explanation:
Use x64 only if you have 4 GB or RAM or more.:redface:
saebrtooth
27.02.10, 12:15
maybe it should be reversed
if you have more than 4gb RAM handy or are to buy choose x64 hardware and OS :wink:
Glad to know that..
I am 1 GB short in that case :tongue:
x64 should be a lot faster on special demanding applications like Photoshop etc. right?

not always. it really differs in every single case. in some cases 64bit is even slower.
anyway for private use it shouldn't matter much
always the same dilemma :tongue: is x64 OS versoin worth installing or not..
and still I don't have a clear answer!

hehe, there is no straight yes or no. most people do it for the 'coolness' but don't really have a clü what it's about.
tell me what you normally do with your box and i can give you a more definitive answer
saebrtooth
28.02.10, 03:53
In short
If you have the money always go x64.
Remember that harware and software req drivers need x64 versioin drivers. You will usually find it hard to find x64 drivers for old hardware and software.
In short
If you have the money always go x64.
unless the stuff you wanna use will cause problems then

x64 should be a lot faster on special demanding applications like Photoshop etc. right?
Don't forget there are many native x64 available applications.
Phototshop is one of them.
saebrtooth
28.02.10, 13:54
Thats right and Adobe also says the x64 version of photoshop is faster than the x86 one but uses more ram
That's why it's recommended to use x64 only if you have 4 RAM or more:tongue:
hehe, there is no straight yes or no. most people do it for the 'coolness' but don't really have a clue what it's about.
tell me what you normally do with your box and i can give you a more definitive answer
I've stopped playing PC Games but I don't thing they require x64 OS anyway..
let's see.. mainly listen to music while surfing the web, downloading media content (which means unraring quite a bit), photoshopping here and there - not too much though.. MSN (lol),
shit that's about it.
but if an x64 OS will make things better and faster I'll do it.

that's the catch. in your case i'd give it a try but try to stay objective about what's best in your case.
however i doubt you'd notice much. and keep in mind a newly installed os is almost always faster than an older one. especially windows.
looking at what you listed i'd say give hackint0sh a try :top:
LINUX all the way :) Even got the misses to use it :biggrin:

There's always a better setup.For example I was never satisfied with my current one.Even now.
If someone told me I would be using linux two years ago I would have just ignored him.Who knows maybe one day I'll be on mac:cool: like instab.

You should try one day if you have some time.That's how I got into linux.

@Jambina. Some hardcore Windows user would not recommend you to use a virtual machine to run Windows nor would a Linux hardcore user. But if you really wanna test Linux out I recommend a Virtual Machine, get used to it and if you like it then dual boot on host computer. this way its less messy and complicated ;)
But if your Linux user going to Windows, same thing ;). Both have their great appz and uses
there's that boot cd with Ubunto that allows you to try Ubunto without installing it.
it's suppose to be the ultimate experience before really making the transfer.
I've tried it once but it was so slow.. couldn't make any new files too so that experience went bad :tongue:

I regarded to the Reliability: Meaning that you have a flawless working Desktop.
You are right if you say there are actually more ways to harm a windows pc than other os, but its also true that a good maintained system is nearly bulletproof.
At least you have to know what you do...
On the other hand there are too many problems with linux systems which can come by simply doing a wrong update of system ressources. This is imho a bigger problem, especially in reliability.
Í dont comment on the Apple OS, as it is only for geeks and handicapped ppl. :biggrin:

I like the latest Ubuntu 10.04, IMHO it looks a little bit like mac osx.
Azureus with all his magic, no problem so far.
I use windows, nothing specially, its friendly.
Windows for quite some time now but I'm trying to get friendly with MAC OS X and latest Ubuntu mount on VM.

hehe, sure, whatever you like.
one has to make a difference between personal taste and objective statements.
for the record there is no leopard-x. either leopard or osx. leopard is osx version 10.5.

Windows.
I learned it from a child, so I am "Windows children" :biggrin: I tried Ubuntu many, many times, but always has been the thing that did not work :icon_angry[1]: Of course I can learn this, but I respect my time :wink2: On Windows I am as fish in water. Something else: on windows I have my favorite apps. I use them for years. On GNU/Linux all is new :baeh:
Here's something new.After being like a year on linux like an year I started seeing things on windows a hell lot different.
I'm planing on trying Solaris soon.

absolutely. it's always good to think outside the box
I'm planing on trying Solaris soon.
good luck :D
I left Ubuntu (1 year of use aprox.)
Now Windows 7
Reasons: I need some software in my laptop like MS Project and AutoCad..., I'm too lazy to use wine or stuff like that at the moment
been using linux mint since a month now.
i wont change from it whatever happens ^^
Win 7 as i have no idea abt others..
I've been a Linux fan for over a decade.
it's quite funny how a lot of people in this thread are badmouthing windows and then apparently use xp, which is a 10 year old OS :lol: ... My opinion about 7 is a lot better than XP, tbh. Maybe it's time to upgrade guys ;)
Or maybe even windows 8 leaked builds. The 7989 x64 recently leaked build behaved really nice on my laptop.

Listen to the dawg.

I passed one of the leaked ISOs to a friend of mine via FTP. He said he'd try it this weekend and let me know. I never got around running it myself, is it good?

If he's not into testing stuff like I am it's practically Windows 7 SP2 with a new nice and minimalistic theme. They didn't add the new interface (awful lolz) thus memory consumption was the same for me and everything worked nice including the nvidia windows 7 x64 driver.
(I know windows 7/8 comes with all the drivers but I wanted the latest and the greatest)
Unless he's installing windows every month or so I'd suggest staying away from these leaked builds because more will come and he will have an outdated system.
Yeah, he's into testing this stuff, somewhat. I'll tell him that, thank you.
It's good that you installed nVidia's drivers, they're better than the ones bundled with Windows, specially the video ones.
Then he'll also need this. :D

I use Windows a lot more than any other .now i use windows 7 .
So,
No one is using Linux?? :confused2:
i use linux daily - but windows is still my most used os for the same reason that it's the world's most used - versitility!
Lol 0 votes for Solaris.I must admit I know nothing about it even though I've tried Openindiana twice but no one ?
