singpolymaposted, โ@aditya Ubuntu install asks questions because they need to be asked. Would you prefer it nuke the HD and assume it’s the only OS like Win?โ @ 2008-354.713Z
singpolymaposted, โ@ossguy good point. No one installs an OS, so no matter how easy you make it they think it’s "harder". Harder than pre-installed? Certainly!โ @ 2008-354.711Z
singpolymaposted, โ@aditya also, many of your use cases are unusual (running a VM, for instance).โ @ 2008-354.709Z
singpolymaposted, โ@aditya likely. I’m just saying, if you ran AIR+GNOME on Darwin you’d get the same experience and there’d be no linux involved.โ @ 2008-354.709Z
singpolymaposted, โ@aditya Perhaps those you’ve tried sucked, but that has nothing to do with Linux. Linux is a kernel (but you knew that).โ @ 2008-354.705Z
singpolymaposted, โ@aditya RE:1066738194 Why does * in Linux not really meaningful. Why does * in GNOME/Metacity. Why does * under KDE4? "Linux" is unspecific.โ @ 2008-354.704Z
singpolymaposted, โ@aditya so you’re trying to say that anything using the linux kernel is inherently "not easy"? This implies you’ve used them all. FUD.โ @ 2008-354.701Z
singpolymaposted, โ@aditya what do you mean when you say "Linux"? That word is often used to mean a wide family of products.โ @ 2008-354.692Z
