We have known this for years and that is why serious people are
using Windows and not Linux despite being free.

There's no war, GNU/Linux has already lost. I'm generally very
open-minded about other operating systems but GNU/Linux is so
destructively awful that I have to advocate staying away from it
completely. There's no excuse for the same system and the same game
screen tearing when played in GNU/Linux, there's no excuse for a very
standard computer refusing to shut down or sleep in GNU/Linux,
there's also no excuse for one of their main desktop environments to
run slow on an i3 with 8GB of RAM.


You are right. But I play everyday with bleeding edge software and
compile kernel regularly so I had issues which I reported to kernel
list and bugs are corrected. Yes from time to time there are issues,
things that worked no longer working, or some new stuff not working
as expected and such. But if you want to play with Linux, you have
bleeding edge. Screen tearing is compositor problem and not doing
power off is kernel problem. Former can be solved by switching to
different desktop other than Gnome - shell / Unity eg xfce or
KDE (with option to disable compositor on full screen window),
and later by changing kernel to newer one.
Of course you didn;t want to bother rather like a fanatic started
to spew crap against Linux but than again you were also mad at Windows
so you swithced to Linux in the First place.
What I don't understand is why you are so passionate about this
stuff? You are real anti-Linux troll now , while you advocated
it couple of weeks ago

You must simply be unlucky with the particular machine on which you've
tried to install it. I have Mint Cinnamon 17 installed on several
computers on SSDs and it boots up in seconds runs nice and smoothly.
On some I have both Windows and Linux installed as a dual boot, and on
these computers Linux always boots up and loads applications faster
than Windows.

That's awesome. I hope that they wake from sleep and manage to shut down
correctly.


As is the case with almost everybody who uses Linux.

I also hope that they don't experience screen tearing in 3D
games.


A problem that only certain hardware/driver combos run into...and
typically, when someone runs into a problem with _any_ OS, you work on
help forums to get it fixed. (Bitching about it in an advocacy group is
a dead giveaway that you're a troll, troll.)

BTW, is this a meeting place for anti-Linux trolls? I'd love to engage
more, but they don't allow themselves to be nailed down to anything, and
will simply spin and lie when cornered.

This "Silver Slimer" is especially egregious in comp.os.linux.advocacy,
living in many people's killfiles. Recently she was advocating dropping
Windows altogether, and running Ubuntu. Then she "changed her mind"
about Linux, and has emitted some of the foulest, nastiest trolls to be
found in the group.

This is an MO similar to other trolls in the group -- who, oddly enough,
also end up in the snubbery.

These aren't just ordinary trolls -- they are full-on kooks, with Linux

I'm a "she" now?


Freudian slip.

Scott Doty is probably fantasizing.
Maybe about a he-she.

I would suggest him looking up Rexxie Ballard.
The best of both worlds for those who are slightly confused.

He's binned here, wasn't binned in the group in question.

Depending how you look at it, that could be considered a blessing or a
curse.

"Slimer" was foul and nasty from the start, but was recently trying to
act "reasonable". I went back and gathered some quotes to post, the
troll saw that its credibility was destroyed, so it went back to being
nasty.

Indeed.

It likes your quotes. It thinks they re-expose its "wit" to an adoring
public.

Just another Microsoft-sponsored attack dog, nothing to see, move along.

Really? It had nothing to do with how you guys were behaving when I
submitted my screen tearing and shut down problems?

Wow.

The BUILD conference had three pictures of desktop screens
with a start menu included. The start menu has room to hold
Metro icons. So that's one possibility for the new OS. Implement
what was shown at BUILD. A plus of the new menu, is it
doesn't have to obscure the whole screen.

I don't know what other content they have to offer, short
of "subscription" OS (not interested) and Windows Store
only applications (not interested). That will leave me
"not interested".

And I think you realize as much as I do, that desktop OSes
will not last forever. Products follow maturity curves,
markets saturate, development costs can't be paid back.
And executives also make arbitrary decisions (like, "me
wanna go mobile, screw the desktop"). After the way Windows 8
was delivered, you have to wonder how serious they were...
I don't see any signs they learned anything.

Paul


What chances are there that MSFT will actually release a new OS based on
Midori (albeit with a compatibility layer for legacy apps)? It could't
be any worse than Win8.
