Despite Ubuntu continuing to tear up the headlines as the most likely Linux distribution to bring in Windows users from the proprietary OS nightmare, it should be noted that there is a Linux-newbie- friendly world outside of the one created by the Ubuntu distribution.
Some of these distributions may be based on Ubuntu code, while others could not be farther from it. No matter what though, in the end, each of them can survive without any help from the Ubuntu community.
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."
But Linux isn't ready to replace Windows of Mac OS. It is still above the heads of most that use it. Simple and true.
The best part of this article is that hotties A$$!
Fedora, k/Ubuntu and OpenSuSE are the ones I'd recommend to anyone.
I've done my own distro-hopping... so far I've tried Ubuntu, Kubuntu, gOS, Linux Mint, DreamLinux, OpenSuse, and Xubuntu. I've settled with Kubuntu 64-bit (KDE 4.2) on my desktop because of Synaptic, and Debian is a greatly-supported learning environment. I still dual-boot though because I haven't found Wine to play everything I'd like, and UPnP servers didn't work as well as WMP11 for me. I highly recommend giving it a go though, especially with the availability of LiveCDs.
I'd recommend Kubuntu, OpenSuse and Linux Mint.
I've had experienced from Mac 9.0 and Windows 98 days to the current.
I have to say that the current Mac OSX and Windows 7 beta have evolved significantly (they should). Especially Windows 7 because it outperforms XP and Vista by a lot! http://blogs.zdnet.com/hard...
I've tried Ubuntu not to long ago and it is fast and pretty, but installing anything is insane! I have to make sure I'm logged into this and type in that? Why the hell should the user do that?
The whole point of an OS is to eliminate that and make things as easy as possible...right?
Linux is all well and good, but no matter how open source and awesomely powerful it is, it doesn't change the fact that half of my software (for leisure, school and work) won't run on it.
I'll be with windows until either it, or I die. (with a dual boot of linux, just for fun :) )
