Why I Switched to Linux.

Jun 30, 2003 30 Replies

I have been using Windows XP since it was released and I purchased my first Tiger Direct system from Home Shopping Club and it came with Windows XP installed on the hard worm drive.



From the very first day this system had a lot of stability problems which I thought was the hardwack but I could never really pine it down to a cad or chipper.



I set Windows up to update automatic and I installed all the serious packs but still I would get blue screens of dump. I even had a friend whip the system and install Windows ME which worked much better but still crashed at least a couple of times a week.



Last month I discovered Linux Suse and I installed it and my system has been so much better. Linux has not crashed once on this same system and I have so many programs that I haven't even started to scratch the surface of what Linux can do.



Anyone who is having stable problems with Windows XP should try Linux because it might keep them from buying new systems.



Linux is great.

Well what do you expect on that POS computer. You might as well have bought a Crappard Hell.

I'm quite surprised Linux actually worked on that thing of yours.

You should not have posted this information. Linux is a cult. Governments take a dim view of cults (US=Waco, France=Scientology, China=Falun Gong, etc.).

Your name has probably already been harvested by the authorities, no matter where you live.

Your best course of action is to repent before it's too late.

Best of luck - you'll need it.

i know he's a troll but.... linux works on almost everything. i have it on two pc's 2 sun sparc 1+'s and a sun IPC. i've seen linux on everything. as opposed to windows xp. which in my opinion is not a real operating system, it's an idiots guide to computers.

as i don my asbestos underwear.... Chip

Does this imply that you admit what he said?

Eh... how many people are you going to f*ck off?

Hey S*it Stain Windows is on everything, haven't you seen the percentages.

God almighty Linucks does make you stupid.

I dont have any S*it Stain Winders on this machine. What the hell are you on?

S*it Stain WinDOS on _MY_ machine?? Man, is that rich!

I don't imagine everybody having S*it Stain WinDoze on their machines like someone else does. So I don't think I qualify to be found to be as stupid as those people who _do_ think such things are.

Isn't Linux that kid on Peanuts with the blanket? I don't think he's so great. Now Snoopy rocks!

While restarting Outlook, sqr Man grumbled:

Yeah, it's on every lamer's computer.

And Windows makes you forget how to spell?

"F*ck off" is the appropriate (and meaningful) response to Linuxfuck trolls.

Rabid Mets fan, spike, cheered ...

So... windows for ARM? MIPS? Sparc? 680x0? PowerPC? IA-64? X86-64? Alpha? How about S390?....

WOW! I never knew it ran on all those architectures!

Think you've just proven the opposite. Windows is the lobotomiser.

percentages.

There is a 64 bit version of Windows for the IA-64. Windows NT used to run on MIPS and Alpha. Windows CE runs on ARM.

But ~ 90% of the desktop market is IA-32, and Windows certainly runs on that. That's "everything" for all practical purposes...

You shouldn't let one idiot make you denigrate all Windows users.

"used to" is worthless.

Windows CE is another piece of s*it only good for making a 400mhz RISC processor run like a 16mhz 68000.

I think you'll find that the palm top and sub-notebook computers that run WinCE have ARM processors that run considerably slower than 400 MHz.
