Re: "the system has a more modern and 'flatter' look"

you should try the Trinity DE then ;)

Re: is there a comprehensive list of cockups?

I do with my respin, yes I don't have 350 Million users, I have a few thousand at best, 99% of my stuff "just works" for them, but I miss the occasional oops and I endeavour to fix as soon as I can, regardless if the bug affects one person or a lot. Oh and yet I don't have the turnover of some small countries. MS laying off their testers is the single biggest fuckup they made. If only they would look back to days when within reason (it's always been bad but ffs not this bad) that XP in the end was not bad, vista has a bad reputation for being dog slow, it was but at least the fooker ran, 7 was a major improvement on Vista although it was a paid for service pack, then after that all shit broke loose. We had "Modern" of 8 and 8.1 (largest fucking start menu ever) and now the spy ridden 10 and it's nice show stopping updates. It's a shame really. We need a Microsoft, if only to show other developers what not to do.

Re: Roundabouts...

Actually Roundabouts are an American invention, The Brits however sorted who had priority

Doesn't seem to be

Doesn't seem to be a linux distro as it looks like it uses the Hurd kernel. (see screenshot on their main page)

Re: It's the data harvesting

Re: At work

17 machines here on Linux, :D mostly Trinity Desktops as I do the remaster of pclinuxos with Trinity as the desktop, incidentally there is an ISO with LXQT that a friend made too which is rather neat to be honest :)

Alie

Agreed, But I'll stick with my pclinuxos which to me seems snappier than Mint when I tried it :)

Re: Windows 11

No, No it doesn't, I have systemV with parallel start up, and it boots faster than any systemd system with a better processor, fact. It's not even a good init system. YMMV

Re: The shell is not the OS

Lay off the drugs man, Powershell while not that bad isn't fit to lick Bash' boots yet, seriously manthat made me laugh so hard, and yes I have used both.

Re: I have a beefy PC, but still run ye olde GNOME 2

"Personally I like KDE (well KDE3 anyway) so I have kept going with it since I stopped using Linux as a CLI only solution. The reason why there are so many distros out there is because people build distros to suit different requirements. I preferred openSUSE partly because of its ongoing mainstream support for KDE as well as its flexibility but that doesn't suit everyone."

There is Trinity which is an updated KDE3 that is still being maintained and can be used on many distros; I use it on PCLinuxOS and made my own remaster that I publish monthly (I know I'm kind of advertising here) however it is light and fast on my systems (single core atom through to a i5)

and can be found http://trinity,mypclinuxos,com as I said it;s available for Debian based distro's too.

Re: IDC predict Microsoft deal with Kelloggs.

Where the cornflakes are worth more than the phone :P

Re: Here's an original thought for Samsung

Amen to that :) all that's really needed is Contacts, Phone, Messaging (SMS, MMS) and googles play store, let me decide what I want on it, instead of having to go through the rooting process to get the crap out.

"It's a minor weakness in security if you don't install it but an MS DoS if you do!"

That's so you don't complain about the lack of Windows security if you do

Re: Agreed

Agreed, Aston used to be Ford owned but I knew it was sold on, wasn't sure who too though and while typing didn't bother too look it up :P

Re: Shurely

If that was the case, MS and others would have been bankrupt long long ago. Oh how I wish that were true :D

Re: n900

Yeah they had Angry Birds on the N900. I still play it from time to time :D
