I am struggling to find a place to begin telling you about all the benefits and features you'll enjoy with Linux.
first of all, do u mean ubuntu?


1.
The operating system loads quickly and shuts down quickly
windows 8 and 8.1 re quick enough


2.
The operating system is very low cost
yh. I downloaded it free. But just like the guy above me said. Its rubish. U cant even play mp3 files u have to download one rubish service

3.
Upgrades are FREE!
i upgraded from windows 8 to 8.1 FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4.
Browsers like Firefox, Opera, and Chrome work well in Linux
since 1998. Microsoft windows

5.
Linux offers an amazing number of free programs
simple math. All ubuntu apps ever × 2 = free windows apps

6.
Linux can run Window Office
microsoft owns office

7.
Linux runs Open Office
same, lame

8.
Linux looks enough like Windows you won't feel like you're in a strange place.
not as good looking as windows 8.1

9.
New open source software is available.
not needed. Do u use it?


10.
Older open source software is upgraded FREE!
windows preveiws re upgraded free

11.
You are not pestered about “Genuine Linux”
nothing good comes easy. Nothing genuine is free. No fine babe has a porverty killing bf

12.
When you want to add software it is easy to find what you need
av u heard of Windows 8 store?

13.
You don't have to clean the registry often – I've never felt the need in Linux
because it does not perfom as much functions as windows

14.
Linux can run Internet Explorer
microsoft owns IE

15.
You have access to support without paying for it
there's nothing to support. The few major problems i had with it had no solutions

16.
There are several places to find support
there are billon places to find support with windows

17.
You may have access to a support group of living people in your community
no body in my community use linux

18.
You can learn Linux at your own pace
Windows is 4 times easier to learn

19.
Linux will run your “legacy” equipment saving you replacement costs
what im i replacing?

20.
Linux has educational software for FREE!
Windows is the king of softwares even mac cant argue

21.
Linux has a self-adjusting star chart for FREE!
what do u mean

22.
Linux is NOT Windows
of course. pinky cant be brain



23.
Linux has photo editing and managing software for FREE (GIMP and F-SPOT)
photos. Photoshop. corel draw. Paint. KAVD. Picasa. Photostatic. Power media player.........to name a few

24.
You can run checking and finance software on Linux
I dont want to hear anything software again

25.
Linux will co-exist peacefully with Windows on your machine
pinky still leaved peacefully with brain na

Now let me answer you, you seem more knowledgeable about computers than the other user (No insult intended)

1. Yeah, the OP might mean ubuntu, but they are other great distros of linux that offer the same or even better linux experience than ubuntu...e.g linux mint, Arch linux and debian but it all depends on what the user prefers there is no "one size fits all" for this

2. Yeah mp3 is not supported for a good reason ubuntu makes use of some codecs which might be considered illegal in some countries, so they don't want their users having unauthorized software that they shouldn't have by default cuz it's a crime in some countries....that dosen't mean you can play mp3's in those countries you can still install some of the codecs and have the full mp3 experience but as far as i know, in Nigeria there is no law against it also some distro's have support for mp3 out of the box so if you don't like something that bad just change to another distro (simple eh), on windows if you don't like something you stick with it until windows does something your biggest fight is to go and post in the windows forums, but with linux if i vex i can even fork the source code and edit it myself , try finding the code for MS office and improve it lemme see ......we still have a lot of pressing issues to deal with here that codecs

3. But how much did you buy windows 8 or 7?? it wasn't free or was it? (if you get a cracked version)

4. i don't really get you here, sure windows is older than linux but OP is just showing you that all the popular browsers work well on linux, but in the real sense linux is older because the first windows operating systems that came out are based on MS-DOS, but the new ones from windows NT 3.1 down to windows 10 today, first appeared in 1993 and linus torvalds uploaded the first linux os in 1991 and by the way linux has it's root from Unix announced in the early 70's so technically linux is older but that dosen't matter (i'm just giving you some history and facts)

5. But we don't have expensive software like photoshop and most of the free apps on windows store are useless (made by people who want to show their skills, and they are not maintained after they are released), ubuntu free apps are more useful

6 and 7. i've talked about this while replying the other user (OP didn't really do a good job on this one though....i must admit)

8. Nope KDE looks better by default, but with customization my unity looks better than windows, linux is better than windows when it comes to customization u can edit window animations and all those eye-candy animations, that's not what i mean the main customization is i tweaked my system to use less power and still be efficient hence my battery lasts longer on linux than on windows.....good luck doing that on windows (power save mode i guess )

9. Yes i use them, not all of them though (do u use all the software on windows?....NO) e.g i use gimp, deepin music player, rhythmbox, transmission can't mention all...but they are great and it's good to know the developers keep updating them and they are not stagnant and abandoned like the ones on windows store

10. True for windows 10....i don't think it was for others.

11. Linux is good if not better and comes easy compared to windows....we're open source and don't force our users to buy because it's free

12. Nope it's still not as easy

13. You're absolutely wrong here.....the linux server where nairaland is hosted is not doing any work abi and you ever wondered how the site stays online and doesn't go off for rebooting when software is updated (windows world) it's because it's running linux, linux servers can stay up and running for years without the need to reboot i personally saw a linux server stay up for 6 months without rebooting (where i did my Industrial Training) try keeping your pc turned on for one week let's see (no hibernation or sleep mode)....Linux dosen't even make use of a registry...all applications have their settings stored with them not in a central location, do u know what this means, it means i can copy all my settings into a flash and carry them anywhere i go and use of any system i please this includes all of my apps and ppa's too, could you do that on windows....nope, don't tell me about windows backup because it's not the same thing

14. i've talked about this when refferring to office in my own post.....IE is dead though even MS knows that that's why they have a brand new browser in windows 10....MS edge (it's still not as good as other popular browsers)

15. Jeeeez.....ignorance, why would you say this don't you have access to the internet go to askubuntu.com ubuntuforums.com, these are just the support site's for ubuntu each linux distro has it's own forums for the community to interact, they're better than the windows forums in the case of askubuntu (i don't have much experience with other distro forums but i guess they are just as good)...You never looked for support so don't complain.

16. should we still talk about this again (abeg read number 15 it's just one number before this)

17. yeah it's not so widespread in Nigeria....This dosen't mean we don't have linux users in nigeria....linuxmeetups.com also i have a group but you'll not join so i'm not posting it you have to look for it yourself if you're interested

18. Nope it's because that's what you grew up with....gone are the days of the command line being tied to linux.....now there are nice gui's to use (it's still there for power users though), by the way windows also passed through the command line times too and it's still there...though their command line is not as powerful as the TERMINAL

19. This means Linux runs on a large variety of hardware, even all those ancient computers, try installing windows 7 on your old desktop or laptop (pre- 2007) back in the days you'll know what i mean....linux is everywhere even android phones are powered by linux....The biggest phone os in the market, abeg where is your windows mobile (This is another battle for another thread though)

20. i might agree with you here...i'm tempted a bit, but you have to dole out the cash to get all the amazing software....don't crack o

21. Not necessary (what was OP Thinking here.....High grade Oshogbo weed must have been speaking )

22. Yes Linux can't be windows there are too different operating systems (Linux is the Brain for power users, windows is the pinky for basic users)....does it not rhyme

23. is photoshop free, or corel draw (don't tell me you're a pirate)....gimp is and you can't even compare gimp to paint don't ever try it

24. Even me too i was tired of hearing software

25. i don't want to hear anything about pinky and the brain again

By the way try and do this on your windows search in a single command or action or however: Search for all the pictures on your pc contain a particular keyword and move them to another folder (when you achieve this please post it here)

and also on linux i can have a system more like a workstation with different users that can be logged in at the same time and run different types and versions of software and update them and make changes to their system however they like without rebooting or interrupting the users (e.g updating a software of another user or upgrading the system for everybody)....when you do this on windows post your achievement here or mail bill gates, oh i can also login through ssh and work on another pc, e.g updating or installing software without interrupting anybody that is using it, in windows the best you can get is RAT's (Remote Access tools) where the mouse will be moving or PUTTY (a light weight ssh client for windows).......Thank you for listening too

Some cool screenshots of my desktop

oh by the way i'm an arsenal fan and i listen to frank edwards so don't mind that

oh.....so chuck weizer won it good for him....dats how the white men call him now chuck weizer

i just skimmed through the whole article (we've gotten so used to this in nigeria)....but did i just see 60, 000 rounds of ammunition ....something has to done, we have robbers robbing people in the city and bokoharam robbing our soldiers of arms and ammunitions

This is a situation where vtek will say your father yansh and harmonize your faaaaaaatherrrrrr yansshhhh , just heard the song this morning , google 'vtek your father yansh' for those who haven't heard it.

ITbomb:
1.

Older open source software is upgraded FREE!
free indeed
11.
You are not pestered about “Genuine Linux”
hey bro, we know our way round
12.
When you want to add software it is easy to find what you need
the easy part is to download not to find
13.
You don't have to clean the registry often – I've never felt the need in Linux
Obviously
14.
Linux can run Internet Explorer
Yea, Symbian can also run a browser, who needs IE anyway after downloading other browsers
15.
You have access to support without paying for it
True, cos the users are not many
16.
There are several places to find support
Like Computer village?

23.
Linux has photo editing and managing software for FREE (GIMP and F-SPOT)
photoshop anyone?
24.
You can run checking and finance software on Linux
it should run
25.
Linux will co-exist peacefully with Windows on your machine only as a second wife

ok, first let me reply you

1. Your windows might be fast initially but as time goes on it will slow down and you'll need to defragment and optimize whether you like it or not, as for linux defragmenting dosen't even exist because it has a better Disk format EXT4 than your NTFS

2. and the cost is higher, This doesn't even make sense at all Linux os is free to download whether ubuntu, debian, mint, they are all free you don't need to buy any software.....compare this to windows, windows is not free and you need to buy software or use your pirated 200 Naira software on to even use it at all coz by default only there is not much installed for you (You sound like a software pirate sha buying software 200 Naira, i'm sure you windows is cracked too......smh)

3. You will stick what you know....then you'll never learn anything new simple...Next!!!

4. No they are not better in Linux....They are just the same UI, performance.....Next!!!

5. Like seriously!!!!, 99% of Linux software is free, free, even the ones that aren't free have community version and premium and the community version is free, no charge the only cost you have to literally pay is for the internet you use to download it...go and check how much dreamweaver or idm, or photoshop...this won't matter to you cuz you even buy pirated software for 200 Naira...smh

6. Yeah windows wins here....but shouldn't you be amazed that a different operating system can run another's application with the same codebase, this dosen't mean that the office will be unstable or look ugly on linux though, i can confirm cuz my office 2007 runs well on my ubuntu no issues.....Also linux has it's own office suites, Libre office and Apache open office though they are not as good as Microsoft Office

7. Hater....Next!!!

8. Yeah they are some distro's that mimic windows to aid people like you that don't like new things to make the transition but that dosen't mean that we don't have cool ui's and desktop environment...go check out Unity, Gnome and best of all KDE....even windows 10 stole features from KDE and linux in general (Multiple desktop and window spread) but since we're open source we'll forgive

9. Dosen't make sense at all...i use open source software all the time compared to your closed source controlling software where everything is hidden from you

10. Yes free

11. Software Pirate.....mtchewwww

12. and download the one that has backdoors in it right??

13. Obviously...do u even understand the statement....This means that it's more efficient than windows FACT: over 70% of servers on the internet run linux/unix or a form of them....Where's your prestigious windows server na

14. refer to point 6....but we also have a lot of browsers.....chrome, chromium, firefox, opera, vivaldi, qbrowser.....too many to mention

15. refer to no 13....over 70% of servers on the internet i'll leave you to evaluate that for yourself, but even the nairaland is hosted on a linux machine.....Next!!!!

16. Dosen't even make sense.......Next!!!!

17. Please go and check linuxmeetup.com

18. silly....because you grew up with windows and you've known nothing more....it's like saying you learn how to eat faster with your hand when you've never seen spoon

19. But why do the drivers always get corrupted by virus...also it's a pain to install drivers on a formatted laptop, tools like drivers pack solution try to make it easy and going through windows update is more pain except you have lightening fast internet.....but with linux just install once and never bother about drivers again even if you format

20. For every one of linux you see 4 of windows (True for home users)...but servers (for every one of windows you see 500 linux servers)

21. ok, you win here that's not relevant

22. and windows can never be Linux, cuz it's susceptible to virus and gets slow with time...we love who we are

23. How much is photoshop.....oh i forgot pirate

24. Just showing you that we run all kinds of applications too...not really relevant though

25. it's just compatible with windows i can read your NTFS on through my linux without any external program, but try reading EXT4 with windows... which means with my flashdrive with linux installed on it (oh i forgot to tell you linux can be installed on a flash drive!!!! even on a memory card!!!!!!) i can access your windows files and reset your mumu password without leaving a trace...(oh i just taught you something)

By the way we don't need to reboot after installing new software or updating.....That's so argggghhhh on windows....Thank you for reading

This is what happens when you get high on oshogbo weed

i will keep on saying it again and again EMEAGWALI IS A BIG SCAM, A SHAMELESS LIAR

2007-02-23: No. Philip Emeagwali was never a "father of the Internet" and made no significant contributions to the Internet's development. Philip Emeagwali did not invent the Internet.

Philip Emeagwali did work in supercomputing in the eighties, making improvements to the "Connection Machine" parallel supercomputer design. But supercomputing and the Internet are very different areas. And Emeagwali did not contribute to even one of the hundreds of Internet standards, or RFCs (Requests For Comments), that were created in the early decades of the Internet— an open process that anyone could participate in. His supercomputing research was completely unrelated to the Internet.

Unfortunately, Emeagwali has promoted himself as a "father of the Internet." This is based on Emeagwali's claim that "the Supercomputer is the father of the Internet," because both are networks of computers working together.

The biggest problem with this is that Emeagwali did his work in the late eighties, and the core standards for communication on the Internet already existed by then. Yes, further improvements to the Internet have certainly been made since then— but Emeagwali did not make them. His research simply wasn't relevant to the Internet's growth.

A secondary problem is that Emeagwali's contributions to supercomputing just weren't all that significant. He didn't invent the Connection Machine, and he didn't build the fastest supercomputer constructed in the year in which he won the Gordon Bell Prize— not even the fastest based on the Connection Machine. His machine was only the second fastest. Normally, the prize was given out both to the fastest overall supercomputer and to the most cost-effective. In that year, however, the fastest computer was built by a team at Mobil... and that computer was also the most cost-effective. The judges decided not to award both prizes to the same computer. So Emeagwali won for his second-place entry.

I won't mince words here: Emeagwali has no credibility as a "father of the Internet," and his ongoing public claims to that effect don't do him any credit. They only serve to damage the credibility of those groups and individuals who take his claims seriously.

For more information, see the Wikipedia entry on Emeagwali and the Emeagwali myths page.

For more information about the real inventors of the Internet, see the article who invented the Internet?



You guys should not give me that bull crap of white men hiding or discrediting africans for their inventions because it's not true if he really invented all he claims he did his name would have been on this wikipedia list, abi the other people there bribed the white men shebi...mtchewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_African-American_inventors_and_scientists

Philip emegwali is the biggest scam ever....first of all he is not a doctor he has no phd, he was even denied twice of the degree. Second father of computing....what!!!!, where do u put babbage, Lovelace, Napier, even modern computer scientists like torvalds, bjarne stoustrup or knuth...if he was he would have been popular among cs in Nigeria.he wasn't even mentioned throughout my four years in the uni, lastly he never invented the fastest computer. It was a small annual competition not even a Nobel price he won the fastest for an individual but the fastest was not his it.was assembled by a team of cs.....the man is a serial liar If u doubt me check Wikipedia about him you won't see all these his titles he has given himself it only exists on his website emeagwali.com

did anyone else notice they that one of the kids seems to be hanging in the air, abi one had is enough to hold his weight at that age

This news is fake i've checked fb i didn't see any post like this.....

ooh i stand corrected...it's true, the man get sense pass 50% of our population (all those using france flag)

This news is fake i've checked fb i didn't see any post like this.....

I don't understand why they will always wait for these guys to attack for Christ sake u know where they are why can't 10 countries come together and exterminate them once and it's only after they attack before u react, I know there.are rules of engagement but why would u.follow.rules when your enemy.has no regard for them and attacks you indiscriminately n by surprise.....someone needs to explain this for me....yeye dey smell

What I don't understand is they know where these guys are for Christ sake they upload videos and have a site, their location can be traced if they are not sure,they don't even need to look far the.whole world knows their territory... why can't like 10 countries come together and just exterminate then must you wait for them to attack you before you react....yeye dey smell o

Please I need help on how to Link your Andriod Client/Frontend to your Backend...Including the Login forms..uploading and downloading of pictures etc....please Links and Books are also supported to learn....Thanks all for your Future Contribution...

go and read about REST services and api...also take a look at JSON with android there are so many exampkes on the net to get you started

Look for a study group to join, if u don't find join stackoverflow.com and do it on ur own there's a chat group for many languages and technologies including android and you can always ask a question...I would've mentored u but I'm not into android dev anymore

I use pyside which is python for qt. You can easily make the value you want to pass am attribute of the class where the qtableview is and then instantiate that object I'm the new class then you can access the value like this newobject.value in cpp it's newobject->value

I would say python...because if u learn it l, you can use it for a wide range of applications, desktop apps, mobiles, functional programming, Web design, os scripting all you need is to master various frameworks that do what you want. I personally don't like vb sha

Ah ahn dis one small now do u know what they do to them in Madonna university

The main truth of the matter is that we don't want an Igbo president. Or vp or any other. U guys are intelligent and smart but are the same time too dubious and tribalistic in nature (some are different) they will turn dis country upside down the looting will be too much and for those complaining about being exploited, the south south, the is the one exploited not you guys and the south south is not igbo. Me I personally don't want an Igbo leader of any kind to rule over me, Igbos just want the chance to rule this country and it's nt been giving to them for a long time that's why they are agitating again

Ps: I'm not hausa or yoruba

wait, did i read the post well....four people on a motorcycle....haba!!! that was dangerous now...RIP to them sha

They will be with us under conditions

we will never be with you guys, cuz we would just be joining a war that dosen't concern us

So because of the sin of one man, millions have to suffer?? Future generations that wasn't there when it all started should suffer for it, right?

you're the first ibo i've seen that has accepted this view i really admire you telling yourself the truth, but unfortunately my friend the hausa retaliation and the civil war has brought about so much hatred and it has seeped into our generation

Only two ways to change it:

our future offsprings Abandoning our culture and forgetting about "i'm an ibo man" or "i'm from the north"

and

Biafra

franklingud:
My question to all Nigerians including Igbos is this - if Nigeria is one, if really Igbos are welcome, why does the hausa, fulani and yoruba hate the Igbos?
Just give me one reasonable reason why we the Igbos won't agitate for freedom.

Cuz one of u unknowingly caused it.....nzeogwu

Bigmillz:
No be only you. Me I don tire for this sinking, useless country that yoruba and hause people control like it belongs to their families. Am tire of see we Niger Deltaians wealth been control by this bigots

Abeg no make dat mistake o....I be Niger delta but I know want any rubbish biafra by the way ibos are not Niger delta...they're easterners not south south
