I think it's getting harder to defend the Linux Desktop, since Pulseaudio (which is finally working perfectly on my laptop).

But still I'll stay with my Ubuntu, I just don't like using Windows or OS X, every time I use my mac I miss Gnome Terminal, Banshee, X-Chat, F-Spot, even VIM (since the mac terminal doesn't support 256 colors :(), I miss my wobbly windows, the desktop cube (not that crap you get with OS X)... I would just use the mac if there is no other option.

And don't get me started with Windows and the un-resizable terminal ugh!



I use OS X secondary to Linux. There are just a few things that start to bug me every time. Why can't I change the slide time and have a non-standard shortcut for Spaces? Why can't I auto-hide the menu bar? Why can't I use a different window manager?

But things work. I don't have to worry about any hardware configuration, not even installing restricted drivers. It's a trade off I'm still evaluating.


FYI: right click to configure windows terminal. You can set any width/height you'd like.

OSX is far superior still ;)


thank you so much for the tip is helping me already!, still it sucks...
