Hate? No, Love it to death. But others sure hate it. Due to the fact it's for a power user, not a normal user.
I started with Debian and learned from the CLI due to broke X drivers for my card. Since then I've used Fedora, Redhat 9, Gentoo, Mandrake (before the mandriva merge-thing), Ubuntu, Knoppix, DamnSmallLinux, PHLAK and other pentest distros, and finally, I've settled away from Linux - FreeBSD.
People will not get over to Linux until it gets in the open market - Games, commercial software, etc. There are free alternatives to everything, but people want support. The best? Ubuntu, to be honest, because it's packaged for the desktop. I'm not saying Ubuntu lacks what some real power users may want, though, it can do alot pretty easily. Ubuntu and Gentoo are probably the best distros out there.
Now if only there was unified package management..

i hate linux you know why bcoz i dont know much about linux thats why i hate it.. i tried many time that i can understand linux but cant specialy i cant understand how i can connect devices there in linux

Also because you seem to be lacking english skills.
(fyi, bold was misspelled; ( ) is deleted; [ ] is inserted)

In order to connect devices you use the mount command.
For example, to mount an ipod usually its

Code: Select all

mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/ipod

You also may need to use mkdir to make a directory for the ipod to be mounted onto.
In order to understand you must want to understand.

For me, I use Linux(i use more, although i also use winblows sometimes) when i surf the internet or chat... But when I want to play games like khan, counter-strike, etc., I feel comfortable using the xp.. And when it comes to image editing, Im used to use Adobe photoshop than the gimp.. So, I can't hate linux nor Winblows... For my everyday use of Computers I still need both of them...

I love linux now. I must admit though that when I started I hated it. I was actually sitting in my apt one day trying to do something on my computer and windows crashed for the 6th time in a row. I was like screw this and began looking into alternitives. 3 years later you couldnt install windows on a computer I own without me later taking it out back and putting it out of its misery viking funeral style.

[quote="omjin"]Hey guys, I wonder what do you non-linuxer hate from linux, please tell me whatever reason you have to hate linux :D ..[/quote]

they don't have mouse in console mode :)

There graphical drivers aren't too good, thanks to Nvidious and ATI

I really don't hate linux I just miss some vital components in it, sure I can installal WINE and run windows programs, and I like running photoshop but running GIMP isn't quite the same, also love to play a game or two sometimes and in linux it just ain't so smooth as it is in windows, I hope they'll work on those two matter in the future but for now only linux console and windows for the rest.

Greets.

Man..what's taking so long..I want that hard drive so I can install Linux!

Sorry.

Linux, I love it. I had tried using SuSe and Mandrake but never really got on with them that much. A few months ago I tried out Ubuntu and have loved it. It took me a while to get used to it and adapt to using it but now I use it for a majority of my time on my computer. Just waiting for some better support for sound and it is about there for me

i hate linux, because its badly coded (Andrew Morton admitted this recently). and their philosophy about being free doesnt hold true for most distributions; as some more than happily use blobs.

A simple analogy can be used here: If linux is badly coded, windows is.. err, a wreck?

samppa: yes, windows it utterly broken. and thats why the vista release is postponed all the time.

no hate do like

/offtopic
Dont think that the word "hate" is the right, maybe "dont like" ?
