"If I'm totally honest, here was my prejudice before I sat down to Ubuntu:
First, I expected it to look pretty bland by Apple standards. No upstart software could compete with Apple's 25 years of design inspiration. Also, I assumed the whole thing was held together by glue and rubber bands; after all, Linux dudes are always talking about "recompiling the kernel" – whatever that means – and some even still use the command line. (The command line? Oh, geez…)
I know Ubuntu is free software, but I don't care about that. It's more important that my system be good, not cheap. (And if it was really that great, they'd charge for it, right?). I also know I can get under the hood of any of these GNU/Linux apps and change them (unlike Apple apps) but I don't care about that either. I'm not a software engineer; if I can't grab it off the shelf, I can't use it.
In short, my expectations for Ubuntu were modest. In fact, they were pretty low."
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
I really didn't like it at all!
its not user friendly (almost every major thing is done via Command line) and its way too slow compared to XP
they really need to improve it
you now have the option of point and click read the full article its a great read. this dude was really surprised by some of the stuff.
have such a badly designed interface.
One of the most important designs flaws is moving menus, anyone who's taken any classes with regards to a UI will tell you, a menu that moves while your cursor is moving is a bane.
not to mention I love the customization on my gentoo(which is dying sadly) and my ubuntu partitions.
So Ubuntu is superior in every way but the guy decides to stick with Mac, because it's "beautiful." Wow, just when I was convinced the world could not get any dumber.
Using Ubuntu right now! It's brilliant. I made the switch to Linux last month from using XP for years. What made me switch? I got the mother of all viruses, something called "virtuemondo" and thats when I was supposedly "protected" with Sygate Firewall, Spyware Doctor, Norton Anti-Virus, Ad-Aware, Registry Mechanic AND Spybot Search and Destroy!
That was the last straw, so I made the switch and I'm extremely happy! Ubuntu looks flashier than Leopard with all it's effects and rotating desktops switched on and is very user friendly. Also has some great FREE software and most importantly, no bloatware. I'm still learning as I'm new to Linux after all these years with Microsoft. I still need to learn how to install/uninstall applications with the command line and there are a few niggles I need to work out like why the sound in some internet videos sometimes doesn't work, but I'll figure it out in time.
Not trying to convert anyone, that's not my job. I'm just happy I don't have to deal with malware or viruses again. I do a a tiny XP partition now and I only use it to play my old emulators lol.
