Install Windows 10 for Free !!!

Linux will not run Photoshop and no, I can't and will not use GIMP, Photoshop is better and more user friendly.

That's the problem. Not many commercial or free software are available for Linux. I think there is huge lobbying by Microsoft behind this. I was also told, Microsoft has covertly supported piracy to maximize the use of Microsoft-based solutions.

wine + adobe photoshop equals?

Do you have to pay for Photoshop or can you download it online? & if you can download it online, which is the latest version?

Comes somewhat close. I had tried that too. But, for some reason it does not run that smoothly on Ubuntu, with occasional crashes.
Also, the latest versions of Photoshop can make good use of the GPU also. Earlier it used to be mainly CPU-intensive operation. Now, I'm not sure a copy of Photoshop running with Wine on Ubuntu will be able to make use of the GPU properly. Drivers have always been a problem with Linux.

Linux, so far, is good for Software Developers only and I don't see that paradigm changing in the coming 5-10 years.

First sensible person on this forum . I use mint what do you use?


I use mint cinamon 64x . Lets put it this way , I went to a village in faisalabad dist to vist relatives, a cousin had his laptop plagued with viruses , was in the process of re installing it . I restarted the lappy with usb running mint and he was hooked. Everything that he was using just worked. To cut it short my cousin got a copy from me and installed it on more than 10 peoples machines , saying its a new windows. Till date they are happy using it and no blue screen of death and no viruses. So if some people from a village are happy using it

I have seen that very few software especially video editing software are compatible with Linux. So you guys only use these Mint/Ubuntu just for internet surfing

actually, i would have preferred using qnx 6.x os ( world's best os ) but it is difficulty to find in free version now, so slax linux it is.

but one thing i miss about windows is the powerpoint program... so easy to create presentations.

tell me if you know a linux replication of it.

I did install Ubuntu once alongside with window 7 but its limited functionality and software compatibility made me removed it. It was like learning a new operating system once again and to look for software which are compatible with it . I found window more easy for example for downloading youtube videos, for office/gaming, for downloading ******** and cracking/patching software

oh shit battery is 3% time to charge this peace of crap
