Lol The Pi is a learning tool but I still can't believe what I've just read in an Amiga forum. Learning the command line seems like advising someone to learn MS DOS, but worse you may not be able to just "cd" to a drive when you plug it in. How things have changed from the Windows 3.11 runs on DOS therefore it's crap and you need a real UI and OS like the Amiga's

Linux command line is easy and you should go for it: learn and grow. It's a powerful OS and you're missing A LOT by not using it.

Please stop bashing against Xorg : ). The only reason it is slow on Pi is just because there is no driver for the Pi GPU existent. My 486DX2@80 gives better X11 performance than the PI just because of a supported GPU.

The creators of Pi don't care about a Xorg driver because they intend to use Wayland (not ready yet).
Xwayland will than allow to run X11 apps on top of Wayland.

OK linux command line is cool and this tutorial is OK but for play sonic or something, isnt a solution, im trying to browse and this kind of things, you are too positive with the pi in all your post, dont take it bad.

@phoenixconsole

Lets wait for wayland then, seems the closer solution to me.

Yep i hope Xwayland will fly on it as Xorg does on Cubieboard.
Costs a few bucks more but has 2d and 3D accelerated X11. Very usable and impressive after trying the same on PI.

I beg to differ and it seems you've made a rash statement based on my off the cuff remark. Without telling you my specifics and to put it modestly I work with cloud servers every single day and my (commercial) software is used by millions so I can confidently say it's you who's wrong to make that assumption. Please take it to PM of you want to continue OT.

@kickstart - Please see http://pimame.org/ to run old system games - it has a number of emulators including one for the megadrive. The PI is more than fast enough to run old emulators and even software for newer machines such as the Playstation 1 (also included in PiMame).
