Linux drives, works great everywhere (if not everywhere, then a lot where). Windows lays on all the computers that I had, and on many computers that I saw. It does not matter what kind of Windows it is: XP, 7, 8, or 10. Everyone lags. For example, they give errors when starting programs, there are problems with firewood or the OS gets clogged a week after installation. On Linux, everything is more stable and convenient.

Linux is a more interesting OS than Windows. Many distributions are available. It is convenient and interesting.



Rep: (197)
* reliable1, I just want to believe it. But no. Used these numerous distributions. I have not experienced any convenience and interest. And about the fact that any version of Windows lags, I can advise you to change the training manual, if you understand what I mean.

Well, your opinion



Rep: (197)
* reliable1, like your "well, opinion."
I would also like to clarify on this occasion: "it works great everywhere (if not everywhere, then a lot where)." So everywhere, not everywhere, or where? And what does your if mean? You yourself are not sure that Lin works everywhere?

But what about atavism with the console ?! This is so "convenient", according to the stories of the red-eyed. Plus, thanks to digging in it, you can feel like a mega kultskhacker, and then look with disdain on everyone else as inferior.
It covers all the disadvantages, such as: inability to update the kernel without crashing the system, lack of normal drivers and work with 2 video cards, slow operation compared to other OSs, lack of software, except for the most primitive one. Well, you don’t even need to say anything special about games, so everything is clear, Steam changes little.



Rep: (247)
* reliable1 , only windows 7 and 10 are discussed here, for linux it eats related topics.

* Goplex ,
where did you get the idea that in linux you can’t update the kernel without crashing the system? if you installed buggy ubuntu or derivatives, then I deeply regret you.
there are many who ported to linux, for the rest there is wine.
most distributions provide a beautiful interface; if you don’t want to work in the console, this is not necessary.
Well, of course, if you do not install drivers for the video card (there are drivers for nvidia and AMD and intel and Via.
and krivoruko adjust the system, then of course it will work slowly
What other OS do you mean? Mac OS - unix, linux - unix like, the only other OS is Windows, not including kolibri, etc.

Of the 5 devices that I now have, fully Linux only works on one (and officially - there are manufacturer’s drivers and a list of supported distributions - HP Proliant. 2 processor server, which I use as a workstation), there are parallel to Windows 8.1 Pro and Ubuntu (LTS, also with Unity).
One does not work at all (HP ElitePad 900).
On one - well, you can run it, but there’s no firewood (HP ElitePad 1000).
Another 2x works partially - laptops from Acer and Sony. I use the latter to "play around" with the OS, now there is Windows 10 and OpenSuse with Gnome (the number of bugs and glitches in Windows 10 and in Gnome in shock - I’m not ready to see anything on my working machine).

8.1 conquered me with stability (the first releases had bugs, but over time, the OS became very stable - uptime weeks without any problems).
For example, now the system has 8 days and 10 hours of uptime. Everything is stable:

On Linux from much more

Some things on Windows also have to be done through the console. And it is much less convenient in Windows than in Linux.

Strange - did not notice this.

slower operation than other OS


Blander renders scenes under Linux about 20% faster than under Win.
The results of Geekbench 4.0.4 under Linux are also about 20% better.

Well, linupsoids are sore because their system is worthless and in order to justify the use of it, they always climb with their linups into all topics related to the OS, and sometimes not related.

from personal experience.
I tried many different distributions. And in fact, in terms of quality of work, they are not much different from each other.

Well, if your tasks are further than correspondence onsavagemessiahzine.comand in VKontakte do not go, then yes. For something more or less serious, a console is needed.

* vasay.ru,
Your tests are not fixed in any way, therefore they are spherical.
Test benchmark performance ?! Really?
Yes, and one program for rendering is not enough, it may just be better written for Linux, which is clearly not the merit of the OS.

Tests conducted for myself (purely out of interest), and not with the goal of proving something.

Geekbench consists of very real tasks, such as html parsing, pdf rendering, processing sql requests, archiving ...
Geekbench stores them in an online database. Here are mine:
https://browser.primatelabs.com/v4/cpu/2011634
https://browser.primatelabs.com/v4/cpu/1663925

Here are other Geekbench tests

Here are other people's tests in Blender

I also did a test in the Unigine Valley Benchmark - there under windows the result was much better. But under windows, the test ran under DirectX, and in linux under OpenGL

The EJ browser, with all the pros, very often lags and hangs.


And what, from your point of view, are its advantages?

I looked at him - he eats more operatives than FireFox. He can’t work correctly with background tabs (scripts on them work to the fullest). He put the Core i5 2430M with 8GB of RAM on the 46th tab ... Opera quietly digests these tabs on a tablet with Atom and 4GB of RAM



Rep: (41)
* vasay.ru,
I was convinced of the inadequacy of Geekbench even on the example of iOS and Android, where the bucket is so fast, and iOS in practice makes it fast.
Also garbage with linups. An elementary browser opens longer on linups, it is much more important than some kind of spherical tests.

Hello. Help me find a section where I can address this problem: Comp boot Windows writes the current sata configuration for windows r 2000 / xp only. And offers two ways: F1 go to CICS or F2 to continue to boot. When you press F2, he shows a dick. When you enter the BIOS to boot from the disc exhibit - does not want to try fleshki- process is interrupted, probyval live Sidi Process aborted. And most importantly what I setting in the BIOS is not exhibited, after pressing F10 it restarts and the image generally disappears. Unplug the power supply and over again, but in the BIOS settings are reset. Another hard set, the same thing.

the opening speed of the browser depends on the drive speed.
Sami browsers are about the same.

Although, here with playback 4K 60p on youtube linux does best (in my home as a monitor 50 "4K panel) Whether business in the codec, or in particular the distribution of tasks between threads -. Linux distributes the load between all 16 streams and windows ship only 8:
However, most of the video and the old man Xeon X5570 8 flows draws, but there are some which can not handle 8 (although you can always run PotPlayer feed him a link to youtube and use a hardware decoder GTX1060).

Here are 2 screenshots - CPU usage for Kubuntu and under Win8.1 (workstation with 2 Xeon x5570).

But this video in your browser, see I can not in the windows (to Linux - can):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1La4QzGeaaQ

ps By the way, why browsers (Firefox free dough in Chrome and do not involve the GPU hardware decoder?).

Wind Strong Georgia processor and more memory otzhiraet.


If you put the distribution with KDE / Gnome - the memory consumption is about on par with win8 / 10
Although, if desired, and using a lightweight desktop environment, you can significantly reduce the memory consumption on the environment.

As for the processor - background processes 10s (updating, monitoring, caching, ...) are often loaded on the processor ... Win8.1 CPU load is almost absent.
