I am listening to the music of VS2010 in the key of C# conducted by me.

Accompanied by The Spinning Disks?

The Music of the Night, of course...

why?
Here is the story :
Today for setting up ns-3,i installed Ubuntu(through wubi) on my dev box ( Win 7 ) and spent all day inside it.
Soon after logging, the problems, started to appear.
1 - I needed to install python
2 - I needed to install TCL.
3 - I needed to install g++ ( for compiling ns-3 )
4- JAVA? No problem! In Win7 also you need to install it.
5- Adobe flash? I just installed it but after opening some tabs, Firefox started to freeze and in a rare time in Linux history (  ) desktop vanished and after some HDD LED work, it logged out and showed me the login dialog!
6 - I needed a notepad++ Linux equivalent. No chance!
7- Process Explorer Equivalent? No chance! ( i found one but it wanted to download 61MB of software !!!! )
8 - Gtalk? Yahoo Messenger? Still no chance! OK. I used Empathy, but it did not authenticated me to my yahoo account! 
9 - Foxit Reader? OK! The only tabbed applications in Linux are web browsers and Terminal window! So, no tabbed pdf viewer you can see there.
10 - I have another monitor attached to my laptop. I needed to assign the dashboard to my own preferred desktop. No Chance!
And the list goes on ....
You know, i think the whole philosophy behind current Linux development is wrong!
why?
Because it has been prepared from a developer's perspective not an ordinary user who just wants to set up his environment and start to work.
Maybe it works for some basic tasks like web surfing or word/image processing, but behind that, you are facing the terrible fact: you have to setup what ever you want by your hand and the most important is learning some scripting language ( python, bash, TCL, etc.).
Ubuntu has tried to fix this problem with its own 'Ubuntu Software Center' and it is an awesome effort, but there is still plenty of work to be done. The user should not search the web for dependencies or libraries needed for certain application to get work.
After all, i think the whole Linux culture should be changed because people out there, are not developer.

The Ubuntu install process is a breeze. Yes you have to know what the dependencies are, but it isnt hard to find out. But at least it works properly, install AND uninstall.
You are right to a certain extent, it is an engineers system, but when you have a problem with windows the average user is totally lost, so there isnt much difference there.
If you are suggesting some kind of automated dependency tracker is implemented in Ubuntu I would agree with you, it would make it even better.
So why not write one yourself?

Nothing to say.

Nope, not for me. Two years ago I put together this computer. It works fine without any trouble, but the installers for Ubuntu (and Fedora or any other Linux) don't like this combination at all and freeze up. Booting from a DVD ends up the same way.

My XP box is fubared on this proble. I havent yet mustered the courage to do a manual registry rip out and reinstall.... But one day I might have to.
Oh pain, why are you called Microsoft?

Now, don't spoil the fun here. Create another thread to bash MS, you fat_B@S****.

So many manual efforts required, just to have an usable OS?

Also, the UI of Ubuntu is also not to my taste. Those windows, especially the caption and border, always make me feel thick and heavy.
Am I the only one who thinks so?
|
|
|
|
|
Me too.
I think Win 7 has the best UI ever, especially window color/border. Event Win 8 with its flat design is not that cool.

You can configure the UI through an XML file somewhere, or choose other styles. I forget where it is now, but google it.

Then change the look at feel. You can, for example, try Cairo-Dock or Cinnamon. You can even try the Gnome Fallback version. But if you want it to have a Microsofty-like Windows appearance, you can even try "Kubuntu"

Once you learn the basics of Ubuntu and learn how to use the basic sudo and bash commands you will quickly learn to love Ubuntu sure it lacks support for many programs but this us coffee project and we are developers if your preferred language is c sharp then there is a great ide which honestly can't remember the name of it at the moment but is a great way for us to program .net apps within Ubuntu no wine needed

MonoDevelop.
You can load a project built in Visual Studio directly, rebuild it with trifling modifications in most cases, and run it on Linux.
Or-build a completely new Gtk interface for the business code.
