what do you mean by that? how could windows "be a lot lot better than it is"? m$ no longer has a monopoly that is why they came out with windows 7 and are advertizing it as they are. they realize they needed a better product to stop thier losses to mac and linux. and 7 is a fantastic os. as efficient and quick as xp and as pretty as vista.
 
i do like (perfer) an all up os3.9 or aros install to windows of any vintage but if you want 3d games, real 3d games, COD, bioshock2, batman arkham asylam, etc. etc. etc. you need windows, not mac, not linux, not amiga :(


Quake 4 and Quakewars runs great on linux. Maybe those are fake 3D games?

And why spend 800 dollars on a gaming PC plus cost of OS when a 360 elite is 299 and has more games for it?

Heck, for the cost of an amped up gaming PC, you can get a PS3 AND a wii on top.

@ runequester: So 2 nice 3D games run well on Linux, big deal. I use Linux as my primary OS, but there's just no question that if you're a hardcore gamer the only OS for you is Win.
It's the same story with consoles - cheap and easy, they just work - I like them and prefer them to PC gaming, but show me one serious FPS gamer who competes online with a gamepad...


Given how much Modern warfare 2 for the consoles and the halo stuff has sold, I'd say the majority of FPS gamers play with a gamepad these days.

Gaming changes constantly

Personally I don't need a desktop, I have a suitably beefy laptop for most games I bother to play on PC....and a PS3 and 360 for the rest....so I have reclaimed my desk space (and lost the living room to gaming/home cinema tech! lol)

Then again, I can't stand huge hulking great boxes making a racket and taking up miles of space....but neither does the styling of the iMac do anything for me too.


yeah, I'd love a commodore style "laptop without monitor" PC rather than these big boxes

Today's computers be they Macs or PCs are able to do video, image and sound editing that one could not even dream about on the Amiga. Operating systems have become more complex because there's more complex activities for them to do.
 
Amiga boards live in a sort of alternate reality world where Macs, PCs and Linux boxes have not changed in two decades. Where people seem to attach almost magical characteristics to IBM's Power architecture. Where a small cabal of maybe a thousand Amiga Illuminati know more than the billions of other people who use computers, especially than the computer scientists, engineers, academics, et al, who instead of worrying about measuring the bounce of a joystick are wasting their time developing complex solution to world problems. Don't they know that they could just write that app in Amiga Basic?

well, there's nothing wrong with wishing for a better option than what the corporations are deciding to offer up for rental.
 
I dont think anyone is genuinely saying that OS 3.1 on an Amiga 1200 is more capable than "insert operation system of choice that is not windows ME". They are saying that they miss the concepts and ideals of that sort of computing.

Heard of aptitude? That's the thing the debiansque elite wants you to use, they've been trying to move people over from apt-get/apt-cache etc. to aptitude for years without much success, hence my "LOL" at the end. No, the package managers for Ubuntu don't use apt-get, if you don't trust me, try renaming /usr/bin/apt-get to whatever, you will notice that aptitude etc still works. As for me insulting Ubuntu - oh no... evil me. I never liked Ubuntu much, just like I never liked Debian much. Part of it is the often zealot userbase (and even developers), that can't take critics and bash other distros for no reason other than not being Debian.
Thank you for illustrating my point so nicely! :laughing:


Some of the Debian people can be kinda rabid but we need a few people like that holding on to prevent everything from being corporatized.

In the end though, picking an OS based on the userbase seems sort of weird to me, but hey, its a free world out there :)

Which part of "part of" did you not understand? And to be picky, it wasn't about "picking an OS", it was about "picking a distro" - there are plenty out there, hardly any of them are "corporatized".


Hey mate, grab a beer, relax :)

@Amiga_Nut


Regardless if you believe this, Windows 7 is really really good.

That you somehow think that Microsoft does pathetic coding tells us more about you than Microsoft.


Im sure the superior microsoft coding is why windows servers have uptimes measured in years compared to the unix server that has to be rebooted with every patch.

Wait...

I got that backwards again. Silly me.
