Thread: Windows or Linux?

There are some things in Linux that I loved, though I still only really use windows. Linux is too much of a hassle for me to setup, I mean, I can do it, I just don't have the will to. I had ubuntu running on my laptop for a little while, I just don't have the need for two OSes. I prefer a one size fits all shoe. While Windows may be closed, I can do whatever I really want to on it, besides modifying it.
I like being able to do my gaming, then messing with photoshop, then whatever else I may want to do. Yes linux has games, not the games I want to play though.

Windows casue I can play awesome games it... ;)

i have not used linux but i belive that its very restricted to what you can do, which is why i like windows better

I have used both linux and windows so far but i like windows most b'coz it's very user friendly and easy to find application for it..

Windows is better, because it's easer and more friendly for users.

ofcourse windows.. most softwares\games support it

I'm always surprised to hear this argument come up in this way and can't help but think that people are confusing familiarity with user friendliness.
Getting used to linux takes time because it's fundamentally different from windows and I don't deny it can be confusing and frustrating initially, but once you've gotten to known it I'd say it's more user friendly. Linux will let me do whatever I want, whereas windows is all closed and restrictive.
This is my experience anyway. Note that I still use windows for my gaming needs though, I'm not blind to linux's limitations.

depend what for you need system, i working on windows but for network some programming i useing linux :P

I have installed and played with Ubuntu for awhile, but my main pc is Win 7 Ultimate which runs very well.
