Nvidia support for Ubuntu is good - actually, really good. So I don't know what the rest of you are b♥tching about. She's a young single mother and is completely non-technical, and she can use it absolutely fine. I've lent my friend a laptop running Kubuntu. Well, it's my PERSONAL computer and my PERSONAL screen real-estate is not up for sale unless I'm getting paid. I got sick of Windows 10 when it said I could choose between targeted adverts or non-targeted adverts. You can get arch linux easy too.just as manjaro with any desktop environmentīecause gta san s running rly nice on linux too.same for gta iv.(yea ofc with wine/proton) no reason for running this games inside a vm. deepin OS.i just like the desktop environment (but still dont use it.was a pure buggy unstable hell last time i used it.).rest is.yea user friendly but not the best.Īnyway there is solus for gaming and its rly user friendly too.but ofc its not the best too because its so user friendly. I really hope ReactOS become the #1 Windows alternative for the people who wants performance and be spy-free, it seems that's what they're trying to achieve with the project and if they suceed, will be nice for gamers as well. Is basically the most user-friendly Linux there is (and it's beautiful too). It seems much more likely to me that Microsoft will use only legal action so far as to ensure ReactOS never becomes a viable "Windows killer", but I doubt they'll so far as to shut it down altogether.Originally posted by Lt.Mandar:I do like linux bt its not user friendly or suitable for gaming and multimedia, yet. Microsoft still retains control of the development direction for the platform and they can still sell their software to those users.Įven ignoring the bad publicity Microsoft would get from the tech community for shutting down ReactOS, I just don't see a good reason for them to do it. By allowing ReactOS to exist, non-Windows users are more likely to stay within the Windows ecosystem. ReactOS isn't competing with Microsoft's most profitable software. I don't have any data on what portion of users have installed an operating system on their personal computer, but I bet it's extremely small. Even if ReactOS was stable and perfectly compatible with Windows, I doubt many people would switch to it. I suspect most of Microsoft's revenue comes from business and OEM licenses - neither of which are likely to switch to ReactOS. Why would Microsoft want to shut this down? I don't see Microsoft allowing that anytime soon with Windows or any other of their most important products. Should someone manage to put suspicious code into FOSS software, its free and open nature allow the community to discover that malicious code and remove it, fork it if needed, without any fear for litigation, being blocked by restrictive licenses etc. That's why we refer to our software of choice as FOSS: Free and Open Source Software, which is software that is free as in beer and free as in speech and open. Microsoft could reverse the OS cost by sticking a $1000 check to any Windows DVD, that is paying users to install it, but that wouldn't make it a bit more open or more trustworthy. Or, I could give public access to some sources, but prevent any modification+redistribution behind threats of legal action. I could make a wonderful and free (as in beer, ie zero cost) operating system, then fill it with telemetry and other routines phoning home that nobody but me could deactivate, let alone remove, because I'm the only entity having access to the sources. Zero cost and Open Source aren't mutually exclusive. This dampens the motivation for an open source alternative. 2-Microsoft is working toward Windows being freely available (zero cost).
