Windows 10: Rumor pegs Windows 9 release for next year, Windows 10 as a Cloud OS.

I don't know whether you saw this package I made. It may be helpful - lot's of Mate tutorials included.

 

True. I love the look of Fedora but am not terminal fluent so it really doesn't work for me. Still muck about with it but nothing major.

 

I don't know. Even the Fedora look did not impress me. I got thrown out of their forum because I made a few not so positive comments, LOL. These guys are really up tight and believe in their stuff. I guess it does not hurt to be enthusiastic about what you are doing.

 

Yes, that looks like the same tutorial I used. Thanks!

 

lol... a lot of that going round... *cough cough*ubuntu forums*cough*

 

That is also one of the goals I do believe. And it is possible now, but they have to be coded in XNA I think.
It's still in it's infancy thought, I think.

 

I can't believe anybody throwing whs off of a site. Makes me wonder about using Linux. How would one ask for help on such a site without getting in trouble.

 

With these guys it was easy to get into trouble. They seem to have a thin skin. On another Linux forum I was once reprimanded by a moderator because I did not say 'please'. But now they banned that moderator. Anything can happen.

 

Damn; are all the Linux sites that up tight.

 

There are a lot of nice and helpful people. But some are real fanatics. Nevertheless, I got a lot of help from them when I started with Linux. I am still on 3 forums.

 

In my experience, yes. There are some really helpful users but for the most part they seem to be a bit on the fanatical side. I find it quite off-putting...

 

On the subject of a cloud os, that would be an absolute deal breaker for me. I would never accept that, not even free of charge, never, no how no way....

 

But,, but,, isn’t Linux free and full of love?? Free, yes.. love.. NO!!
I just can’t deal with Linux.. in any distro! It works but I just prefer Windows… Hell I would use Vista over Linux..

Most of the time I usae Mint Mate. It is a fine system. But since there are a few Windows programs that I need, I cannot go Mint 100%.

I also use Zorin at times. That is a preconfigured system where you really have to do nothing to run it. I never touch the command line except for activating the VMware tools. But that is a special case.

Here are some links if you want to have a closer look.

I have Mint Mate installed on a separate SSD instead of running it in VM. No problems setting it up and I haven't needed the command line yet, thank goodness! Like whs mentioned, I have Windows programs that I use quite a bit, so I can't run Mint exclusively.
