Quote from: SoBeClock;1331313Linux, Vista, and Mac are all good for different things.

Vista is the best OS for gaming and is good for business, Mac is the best OS for Media related things and casual non-gaming use, and Linux is very flexible and can be made pretty good for most things, but not better than mac for media or vista for gaming. You should preach the good points and uses for all the operating systems instead of always going "Fuck Vista, anything but Vista!"

Thats well.. sort of wrong!

When it comes to business, Linux does have them beat, but they aren't marketed for it. There are hundreds of office applications that match or surpass microsoft office (my favorite is the OpenOffice suite) and its free. The thing that trumps MicrosoftOffice is its support for PDF's out of the installation. As for media, Linux has higher support for more media codecs, and can render video much faster than either OS. While I agree they all have their good points, I say the comment:

Seems a bit wrong. With Cedega, the Linux OS is gaining support of the DX10 capabilities limited to Vista, and I already stated what media capabilities Linux has. Either way, its a matter of preference.


And this is my preference.

I never said linux wasn't better than vista for business. I said it isn't better than Vista for gaming. I'm fully aware that Linux is great for business and that's one of its good points.

That all depends on the power of your system's hardware. Macs' huge array of efficient, advanced, intuitive, and user-friendly media editing and creating software is fantastic, and I haven't seen linux or Vista be able to match up to it. Although Linux does have Mac and PC beat in other areas. Still though, Adobe CS3 Master Suite containing all 20 of Adobe's cs3 programs is all I'll ever need, so I don't need a mac.

It doesn't matter whether your linux can support DX10 or not, it still can't play a bunch of Windows Exclusives, even with WINE, making Vista better for gaming, and I already stated my opinion on the whole mac vs. linux for media thing. Linux is a fantastic system, those are just two areas where it's still beaten.

Fantastic! You like linux and it works for what you need to do. For my preferences, Vista works perfectly. And for people who like media and simplicity in an OS, Mac works perfectly.

he said cedega not wine which is like wine specifically for gaming, and it will play just about any windows exclusive you throw at it so i don't know what you're talking about.

also he said rendering not authoring in regards to video so that point is moot too, you're just jealous of our superiour operating system.

Also I respect your opinion Sobe, just not fully in agreement with it.

I'm not jealous at all. I like all three systems and have used all 3 before and I don't think any of the three is truly superior to the others.

Also you proved my point about gaming by admitting that not all windows exclusives can be played on linux.

Same to you.

Same to you.

Still, you gotta admit a CC operating system will be pretty bitchin.

Yeah, it would be cool. I'd probably put it on my laptop. I don't do gaming on it so Linux or mac would probably work better for it than XP.

Some of us should make Clockcrew Vista/XP themes/setups too.

Ill use it.

I support this

I'd totally use this.  This desktop is a piece of crap, a slimmer os than XP would do wonders for the thing.

I'll use it.

The ability to select pixels (images) from applications and just drag them into other applications

Furthermore, the ability to drag these pixels into the CC chat client thingy.

Similar to what you can do with a mac, but not the same because you can't do it with applications other than web browsers.

I may be wrong, but I believe that is already taken care of. I'll check in a bit.

I'd be pretty awesome if you could distribute processing on heavy rendering jobs and stuff.

I just installed Ubuntu. It's a fucking godsend.

I support this completely. I'm not very programming savvy, but I guess I could work with graphics...

So you don't own a computer, but you have a wireless network, and a Wii.

This has much potential.  How much thought has gone into process scheduling and file systems?  It's not all about fancy icons and backgrounds.

Quite a bit is going into this. Check with Cranberry, he is the lead programmer. I'm just the artist with the idea doing the basic stuff with coding.
