My experience Windows and Linux

It has been sometime I switch from windows XP to Ubuntu 8.04. I'm not those peoples who angry on windows but my reason to switch to linux are trying to get familiar with linux. I'm a student who studying Computer Science and I like to promote open source, but I never fully use linux before (usually install and play only a few days).

Now the Ubuntu is sitting in my computer for more than a month and I'm happy with it. Where is Windows? Well, I can't get away from windows as it is needed for my project, assignment, and jobs. I’m having another laptop for windows Vista.

Well from a full windows user to switch to linux was something hard for me at first but not now anymore. Until today, I'm still very happy using Ubuntu 8.04 (Ubuntu 8.10 is coming...). Compare with the older version it has a lot of improvement. Example like the Gnome is crash less than the older one. Yes, linux can crash; don't be fooled by other super linux fans that said linux won't crash.

I can find all the replacement software in linux that serve the something like windows. I can setup Samba server to share folder with my windows on network, using Deluge for P2P (almost as fast as Thunder client), playing any format of song and movie without any problem, chatting with all my friends using pidgin that connect to 6 accounts at once and etc. I can said linux is fun, some of the software is work even better on those on windows and it is all free. Well, everything come with a cost, it really take many time to setup and configure on some software, for those have no idea how to computer work is actually killing them.

I'm not side on linux or windows, but actual both also have their own strength and weakness. Example like windows Vista requirement is high, but the graphic offer is smooth, stable than XP and some good feature. Linux is requirement is low, can offer many cool thing compare with Vista, but the graphic sometime can be lag, some application will crash and close down without any warning or restart…

Conclusion, Ubuntu still need to improve on user friendliness especially those who have low knowledge on computer field. Windows need to continue improve although there are taking most of the share now. Waiting for latest Ubuntu 8.10.
