“Ubuntu is more difficult to run.
Requires using command line.
Won’t run a lot of popular programs and games.
Won’t run Android apps.”
Wrong... No it is not. All those are absolutely not true.
Your perspective is very obviously 10 years behind the times my friend.
You might want to educate yourself concerning the new distros before making claims like this. You are obviously making claims based on complete ignorance and lack of personal knowledge about how they “now” work and you are making yourself look foolish.
I posted a minor correction to TexasGator’s post #55. But the basic point that he was making was that Ubuntu is not as easy to use or as compatible with other programs, apps and games as Windows is absolutely true. No amount of consternation is likely to change this in the near future.
If one is familiar with Ubuntu and knows a little more than the basics it is pretty amazing what can be done with it. I prefer installing Ubuntu Studio myself because it comes with an incredible suite of multi-media tools already installed. And yes, if you use it with games that you purchased with Steam most of them work surprisingly well depending on your hardware.
But for at least the near future... Microsoft will continue to dominate the scene. That is because they have $Billions of dollars invested and huge numbers of well-paid workers keeping their products ahead of the game. Do I like the policies of the company when it comes to politics and world affairs? Obviously not! But I also continue to purchase products from Amazon and Costco, and my landlines are all “free Google phones”. These companies have made it to the top because they offer convenience and value.
Ubuntu is amazing, but all of the computers that I have set up for my parents who are in their 80s are using Windows. And they have plenty of difficulties with them. Fortunately, my siblings and their kids can usually get them through whatever challenges that they are having. Ubuntu simply would not fly in their situation.
