    Anyone using Linux?

    We all have our preferences, but I don't think Windows 8.1 + Classic Shell is a joke. It's a stable, fast booting OS that runs all of the programs and drivers I want it to run, including several I can't get for Linux. I can move around in it pretty quickly, including to my PuTTY window that gets...

    I left because of technical issues with the site. I understand they have finally been worked on but it was years too late.

    Anyone using Linux?

    And by the way - I've developed a couple of iOS apps (one for Lego and the other is doodle.ly). I would have really appreciated it if Apple shipped a build environment compatible with Visual Studio or something. XCode was very unstable - sometimes I would have it hang hard on me a dozen or...

    Anyone using Linux?

    OS X has fallen behind, especially with Windows 10 coming out. I used to run Mavericks on my laptop and did so only because scaling for high resolution displays was still not working properly in Windows 8. Windows 8.1 plays nicely with 4K displays finally. The OSX finder requires more clicks to...

    As for your comments on Secure Boot, it exists for a reason. Ubuntu supports Secure Boot, and it can be disabled at any time. It is not a marketing play.

    Anyone using Linux?

    If we wanted to talk about a simpler alternative explanation, we could say "they had to develop/improve drivers for their hardware on Linux, and with it being a smaller market, the cost of that expensive work per unit is higher". I seriously doubt Dell management would be driven by the...

    Anyone using Linux?

    As I've said twice before on this thread, I'm not interested in hearing how something hasn't gained market share for reasons other than people not wanting it. It's 2015 and we have a very competitive market.

    Anyone using Linux?

    The decree that ended that Microsoft practice is 21 years old. Dell charges more for Ubuntu desktops for no reason other than their calculated higher relative support cost. Don't get me started on Mac fanboys, who are probably even less rational than Linux fanboys. For my part, I bought a...

    Anyone using Linux?

    Yeah. It's all personal. However, for a majority of people, the personal choice appears to be Windows right now. No excuses, just market share. I've found that people who are developers tend to just not notice the types of ergonomic issues that are glaring in sharp relief for the average person.

    Anyone using Linux?

    People familiar with the mobile market will tell you that Ubuntu Phone has very little chance of cracking more than the 1% market share it enjoys on the desktop. It is very hard and very expensive to break into that market, and there are already two separate OSes that app developers have to...

    Anyone using Linux?

    Web servers are an excellent target for malware, not viruses. There is a variety of malware for Linux and BSD web servers, some of which can go root. UAC is not that different from Linux authentication. What's superior about Linux in this regard? On either OS you would need to identify and...
