Well...didn't wanted to compare but then again, I had to reinstall 3 times so far. I m really missing a system restore or GUI safe mode in Linux. If anything goes wrong, I don't have safe mode to fix it....how can I say Linux is better when it doesn't even provide basic requirements.
It's not wrong to say that using Windows & Mac is a far better experience due to the extensive feature set & application support compared to Linux. Just tell me, other then Picasa is there any Photo Manager for linux which is remotely a threat to ACDSee? I tried 5 image viewers so far
The problem of Codecs etc which started with Ubuntu 7.04 which I tried last is solved in Mint. It played all my files, although I had to use Amarok for music which isn't a GNome app. I m downloading Kubuntu, I hope that is better out of the box.

Dude, trust me of all the people who use Ubuntu only you seem to haf some "exotic" problems! You haf a "safe mode". Its called "recovery mode".gx_saurav said:
Will you tell all of us what features does Picasa/F-Spot miss that ACDSee has which a normal user uses?gx_saurav said:
This is ACDSee's page: *store.acdsee.com/store/acd/DisplayHomePage/Locale.en_US/Currency.USD
Kindly point me to any link which says: $0!
Don't bothergx_saurav said:
I would like to know more about it as this is news for me. Haf any sources to backup your claim? I would appreciate if you point me to somewhere where it says so.gx_saurav said:
If you haf any more queries then fire up. People would be glad to help

go easy way GX, windows calling uvish786 said:normal installation is taking so much time for you.... recompile kernel & apps will take ages. So better you forget recompiling whole stuff & concentrate more on running normal Ubuntu first.

Like I've said before GFX drivers are the major cause of most of the problems. This is the year 2007, yet stable drivers are NOT OUT! Thats the problem. If you haf a GFX driver problem then what use is a "GUI safe mode"? Situation in OSS is different!gx_saurav said:
Also haf you ever tried Recovery mode? If not then just boot into it, select selective startup, start whatever services you want then at the end of it login as root (or any user) and type: startx
You haf a "GUI safe mode" since you've allowed only those services to run which you want.
Feature list Sir, feature list... Tell us exactly what features are you missing in the Linux counterparts which a normal user uses on Windows.gx_saurav said:
Tho, I agree that IrfanView is a very versatile program; apart from Multimedia feature (A/V) gThumb has every feature that IrfanView has (Touch ups: brightness, contrast, colour levels, hue satu, rotations, batch conversion, scaling... the list goes on...!)
So when you make a claim, kindly back it up with some evidence rather than trolling.
You sound as if ACDSee and IrfanView are an integral part of Windows and come bundled with it for free!gx_saurav said:

For once, stop laughing & think yourself. Compared to the Windows applications & feature, does linux stands a chance anywhere? It is hardly a threat to Windows.
An OS is as good as the apps it has, so far Linux is inferior to Windows in this context. Even the free apps for Windows are better then Linux in most cases.

If u r comparing it to Windows Vista's case, then in safe mode Vista uses "VGA Compatible graphics adapter" driver by which 99.9099999% graphics card boot in safe mode from where u can uninstall the troublesome driver.
Sometimes Linux Mint hangs, & I press alt+ctrl+F1, & I get a DOS screen. I only know one command here which helps me, sudo reboot. If I log out, it logs me out in DOS mode, & typing startx says "another instance is already running"
But tell me about this more plz.
Define normal user plz. I will post the feature list i m missing in Linux tomorrow
Just for the record, I m using Ext2FS driver for Windows to browser my Linux partition.

I'm still waiting for that "feature list" which Linux apps miss which a "normal user" would need.gx_saurav said:
Even Linux has the VESA driver which works with most of the GFX cards. But again its works with "most" can't say 100%. Hence to be on the safer side the "GUI safe mode" doesn't come up by default. You hafta manually start it. Jus coz windows has a "gui" which loads by default doesn't mean all OS' should haf a GUI enabled safe mode by default. Safe mode in Linux gives you more control over your system and there are no doubts about that!!gx_saurav said:
When it "hangs" (I dunno why it ever should, plz give more details) in GUI then just press Ctrl + Alt + Backspace. More details would help in tracing the cause of this problem.gx_saurav said:
Tho the definition would vary, a normal user, broadly would wanna see his photos, organise them, import them, convert them across formats, touch them up (brightness, hue, rotation, scale etc.). I can't think of any other feature which I need from a Photo management software.gx_saurav said:
Oh thats great!gx_saurav said:
I'm expecting a question from you regarding a corrupt Linux partition soon Yes Sir, any more questions? We'll help you. Don't hesitate to ask

hey bagawan... "another instance is already running" means GUI mode is already running in background press ctrl+alt+f7 to get back to GUI mode... why do startx circus... ctrl+alt+backspace is to restart X server the one infra_red said.gs_saurav said:
for switching back to terminal mode you could use ctrl+alt+f1 to f6 wherein one can simultaneously run 6 sessions of console at same time & randomly switch between them.

climb all stairs one by one
remember the days when you first used a computer.
your experiance will be like that only or slightly better.
linux is entirely diffrent than windows as you know, and many here have told you many times.
so it will take time to get used to a linux way of doing things.
still if you don't like, then why waste your time?
Ps: pls stop comparing windows & linux,simple there no end. decide what is good for you & stick to it

Don't you think this is like playing a scratched record. No one gives a rats rear of what you think about Linux ...and that too especially in the Open Source forum. We / I use Linux cause we/I prefer it over Windows.
I'm reporting this just cause I hope it gets moved into the Fight Club so that you could troll there.

I think words are wasted here. Whether you want to use linux or not its your choice, that's what linux is all about. I think linux is meant only for people who are ready to use their brain. Its not for lazy people
