rxv Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Mahirap ba compatibility ng softwares sa Linux? Quote Link to comment
Wacky Dreamer Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 With windows softwares, that's interoperability, filesystem recognition, versioning and running software from compiling. Ang virus, trojan or worms ng windows ay di gagana syempre sa linux platform. Kung designed for windows talaga ang program, magpatakbo nalang ng virtual machine under linux parin. Kung compatibility issues ng softwares designed for linux, depende sa software kung matagal na o bago palang.Kadalasan sa windows merong bagong program na mabenta, later sa linux gagawin palang at maswerte kung tuloy-tuloy ang supports na makukuha sa linux community.

magtatah0ng Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I've been using Ubuntu in the office for several months now. Feeling ko Windows ang hindi compatible. I just save as PDF whenever I have to send a document to a Windows user. Or I just print a hard copy. I have edited and presented a PowerPoint on my Ubuntu machine and nobody seemed to notice. Ang pinagkaiba walang Windows license, Office license at CAL license. Pero di naman ako heavy user ng Office apps, kahit Google Docs buhay na ko. Quote Link to comment
dos8dos Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 whenever you use OPENoffice or LIBREoffice to edit a document initially saved in MSoffice, just use the "save as" option & select the appropriate MS office file types (e.g. doc, xls, ppt) Quote Link to comment
gordon0580 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Mga bro, sa tingin ninyo anu ang madali at palaging ginagamit na programming language sa linux especially obuntu? can anyone give me a suggestion? Dipende yan sa need mo, kung mga simpleng shell command lang Bash ok na. Pero kung medyo complex I-suggest yung python, multi-paradigm sya, pwede kang mag functional at mag object-oriented programming at ang good news, pre-installed na sya sa ubuntu. Quote Link to comment
racerklm Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Ubuntu is actually very good. If you would like to run certain windows programs you can always use WINE. Has a software repository built into the OS. Software can be installed via the terminal or the GUI. It's lean and doesn't consume much system resources, which makes it very good for use in Netbooks. Another interesting thing is it can be run from a USB flash drive. I would suggest learning to use the terminal as well, it is your friend. Quote Link to comment
pikapika2501 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 yup! i like it. may kahirapan lang sa drivers and some setup compared sa proprietary pero marami namang benefits. first is you get to taste the geeky world's ideas pero not to exage naman. pero ayos kasi wala kang takot masyado sa sites and viruses. ayos eh B-) talo lang sa magagandang apps na pinagkagastusan like games, photoshop, video edz tools pero i'm not into games, photoshop etc. kaya okay sakin lenux. pero parehas lang yan. maganda lang talaga for your secured browsing and di ka takot sa links na pinagpipipindot mo. hehehe.

deadk1d Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 been using UNIX/Linux for like 5 years now. Started with Slackware - Fedora - Ubuntu (desktop) FreeBSD - Ubuntu Server - RHEL 4&5 - Solaris 8,10[sPARC x86-x64]. I find ubuntu the best os replacement for windows, unfortunately though, on gaming perspective, dito lang nagkatalotalo. kase most of the games are really not created to run on Linux. I mean you can make it run, but you have to do some configurations which would be EASILY resolved by just doing dual boot. ) Quote Link to comment
the_passerby5981 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Well, here we are six or so years after this thread was created and still Linux has finally crept into the mainstream computing. Not desktop computing though. Android, anyone? I bet no one really saw this coming. Quote Link to comment

magtatah0ng Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I installed Win7 and Linux Mint on a new laptop. Guess which one gave the better experience? With Win7 I had to go to the manufacturer's website to download all of the drivers and install them one by one. My monitor wasn't displaying the right resolution on plain Intel HD graphics. Wifi wasn't working. This required downloading several hundred MB's of drivers. With Linux Mint, everything worked after install -- VGA, wifi, bluetooth, even my laptop's hotkeys. I had a full-blown office app installed, and it downloaded codecs during install so I could play any video format immediately. It's not the usual Linux install, which usually requires some typing on a terminal, but the progress is very visible. 1 Quote Link to comment

My monitor performed better with Ubuntu 11.04. Pictures are much clearer, crisp and vivid. Edited June 9, 2011 by brutus Quote Link to comment

johnlove Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Masters, In windows 7, you can't move the 'users' folder from a ssd (drive c) to a regular hard disk (drive d). How about in linux?Thanks. Quote Link to comment
riv123 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Just rebooted the box? Get notified when it comes back online with audio alert using old good ping command ping -a YOUR_IP_HOST_NAME You may want to add the wait delay using the -i and count using the -c for avoiding panic mode ping -i 30 -c 10 -a YOUR-IP-OR-HOST-HERE The above will check server 10 times with 30 seconds wait between sending icmp packets. The -a well give audio when packet received. Quote Link to comment
