| 885275 | 2010-05-16 05:45:00 | As you said, Ubuntu is free. That is a big difference. No, it is not intended that you use Windows programs on Ubuntu. |

| 885277 | 2010-05-16 05:53:00 | what is the difference with Ubuntu and WindowsWell thats a question that could cause a huge debate ( read as possible fight). Both are OS's and both are good at doing what they. Both can do some things others cant.( that comment alone will cause a disagreement) If you are asking which is better - you will get different answers from different people. Some Linux users hate windows, some windows hate Linux. Some use both OS's - Fact of life. There are programs you can use in Linux, that allow SOME Windows programs to work, but not every one does.Just like there are programs for Linux, that are not available for Windows. It really depends on what OS you want to use. Should I change from Ubuntu? Thats a question only you can answer. People can suggest or some will even insist what you should use, but in the end its your choice. Many people Dual boot with Windows & Ubuntu - best of both worlds then. |

| 885279 | 2010-05-16 06:58:00 | No point changing from Ubuntu to another flavour of linux if you are looking for Windows support they are all much of a muchness as the windows support comes from 3rd party addons like wine or cedega or another thingie. Ubuntu is big in linux and has a very good support forum where you're not treated like a dick if you ask a dumb question and is newbie friendly |

| 885280 | 2010-05-16 07:12:00 | I'd use Ubuntu in a heartbeat if I had native (not WINE) support for my games. There are NO good games written natively for Linux. If you want to game, use a Microsoft OS. If you don't, Linux. If you have too much money and are happy to blindly believe what TV tells you (was once told that it was better because "it's more creative"... ha!) then go Apple. They're all OS's in the end and none of them are anywhere near perfect. |
