sebsebseband if Microsoft do start trying to patent sue MonoAug 27 17:29
sebsebsebwellAug 27 17:29
sebsebsebthats going to make a lot of people dislike Microsoft even moreAug 27 17:29
_GoblinI think this is why Ubuntu hits the mainstream audience and your more fussy distro's do not....Im not saying either ethos is right or wrong , but I think people often forget that the vast majority of users just want it to work and really don't care.Aug 27 17:30
sebsebsebincluding average Ubuntu end users, if they find out about this, and that apps that they love, were made using this Mono thingAug 27 17:30

sebsebsebgnufreex: and they are trying to bring opensource/freesoftware to the masses, but whilst making a profitAug 27 17:31

gnufreexsebsebseb: How Mono can make money when it is patent encumbered, while Python for example is not?Aug 27 17:32
gnufreexWhy chose Mono over Python?Aug 27 17:32
sebsebsebgood questionAug 27 17:32
sebsebsebmaybe sinceAug 27 17:32
sebsebseb#C is more popular since .NET?Aug 27 17:33
gnufreexYou can make more money with Python, because you don't have to worry about MicrosoftAug 27 17:33
sebsebseblets take educational establishments not that many teach PythonAug 27 17:33
sebsebsebloads teach .NET thoughAug 27 17:33
gnufreexC# is not popular in open source communtyAug 27 17:33
gnufreexCanonical and Novell are trying to make it popularAug 27 17:33
sebsebsebUbuntu isn't the only distroAug 27 17:33
sebsebsebthat comes with F-SpotAug 27 17:33
sebsebsebok soon they are going to replace F-Spot with  Shotwell, but my  point is, they aren't the only distro that comes with at least one Mono appAug 27 17:34
gnufreexUbunut and SuSeAug 27 17:34
gnufreexWe know who is behind SUSEAug 27 17:34
gnufreexUbuntu needs to make a standAug 27 17:35
gnufreexEither they are with MicrosoftAug 27 17:35
sebsebseball teh popular Mono apps can be replaced with something else really though, but even so, people like them, including me, when it comes to F-Spot and Banshee.  I mean they are good apps, but they could have been programmed with something more Desktop LInux friendly instead, but no.Aug 27 17:35
gnufreexOr with Free Software WorldAug 27 17:35

gnufreexI see propriatary apps as a stop gap solution for those weenies who complain about not having this or that... so it is acceptable, just to keep them quiet... if it is not Mono app.Aug 27 17:39

gnufreexLinsux.org people chose Ubuntu with a reason. It is populated with clueless persons top to bottom, so they beleive in their crap.Aug 27 17:44
sebsebseb,but I suppouse better people using Ubuntu than Windows? well maybe not quite,  I mean sometimes Windows is better for someone to be honest?  or at least if they secure it  properly enough?Aug 27 17:44
sebsebsebgnufreex: yeah exactly loads of noobsAug 27 17:44
sebsebsebgnufreex: and even a lot of the people who have used it for like,  four years, don't really know much about itAug 27 17:45

sebsebsebgnufreex: however thing isAug 27 17:45
sebsebsebfor people like us, who know Desktop Linux, oh its great, loads of distros to choose fromAug 27 17:45
sebsebsebandAug 27 17:45
sebsebsebwe are educated, we know what we want, and what Desktop Linux can and can't do, so we can make a nice educated decision on a distroAug 27 17:46
sebsebsebfor a new user, well no they aren't yet, hopefuly they will become, but with Ubuntu uhmm, a lot become fan boys insteadAug 27 17:46

sebsebseband yeah  most Ubuntu users won't really know about upsteram, so will love all these changes that Canonical are doing to Ubuntu downstream, yes I mean the Gnome patching and what notAug 27 17:47
gnufreexSo I decided not to recomend Ubuntu anymore because of that.Aug 27 17:47

gnufreexYes, but I noticed that Mandriva communiy is different. And Fedora is best. THey kick out Microsofties in the start.Aug 27 17:51
sebsebsebgnufreex: it seems Mint is, because a lot of the people that help out there, use other distrosAug 27 17:51
sebsebsebThistleWeb is like the only regular user who helps out there that still uses Mint, by the sounds of itAug 27 17:51
gnufreexIt looks like is not stepping stone. It is more like a glue.Aug 27 17:51
sebsebsebgnufreex: yeah bingo exactlyAug 27 17:51

gnufreexThose who get into Ubuntu thik that Mac Shuttleworth invented LinuxAug 27 17:52
sebsebsebmost users have no idea thoughAug 27 17:52
gnufreexAnd look no furtherAug 27 17:52
sebsebseband that brings back this questionAug 27 17:52
sebsebsebIs it really better for loads and loads and loads and loads of  computer users, to be using Ubuntu, instead of Windows or Mac OS X?Aug 27 17:52
sebsebsebwell in fact, most users still have a reason to dual boot with Windows, since Ubuntu can't quite replace Windows for themAug 27 17:53
sebsebsebor yeah they have WIndows on another computer as wellAug 27 17:53
gnufreexI think it is still beter than Windows and OSX, but it won't be for much further if things continue going south at this pace.Aug 27 17:54
sebsebsebgnufreex: and yeah as schestowitz basically said to me before,  when I was on about a  Ask Mark session for Ubuntu Open Week,  he basically said that Ubuntu users see Mark Shuttleworth as a kind of God.Aug 27 17:54
sebsebsebgnufreex: exactly things are going down hill now really big timeAug 27 17:55

sebsebsebwhats the point really?Aug 27 17:59
sebsebsebUbuntu is about Gnome and their changes,  there Ubuntu Gnome, I got a good link about thatAug 27 17:59
gnufreexOther DE..Aug 27 17:59
sebsebsebyes, but I mean whats the point reallyAug 27 17:59
sebsebsebsince other distros :)Aug 27 17:59
sebsebsebthe so called Ubuntu advantages,  are only in their patched Gnome versionAug 27 17:59
gnufreexI think Canonical should drop Mono and see how they can integrate Qt into GNOMEAug 27 17:59
gnufreexTo look nativeAug 27 18:00
gnufreexAnd see how to integrate JavaAug 27 18:00
gnufreexThere are more Java coders than C#Aug 27 18:00
gnufreexAlso, things like Scala  and Clojure are hot, and you get that for free with JVMAug 27 18:01
sebsebsebgnufreex: no QT is KDEAug 27 18:01
sebsebsebGTK is  GnomeAug 27 18:02
sebsebseband  Gnome 3 will be out in MarchAug 27 18:02
gnufreexI knowAug 27 18:02
sebsebsebunless they delay it for a 3rd timeAug 27 18:02
sebsebsebit will be intersting to see how Canonical / Ubuntu developers deal with Gnome 3Aug 27 18:02
gnufreexI was thinking that would be great to integrate Qt into GNOMEAug 27 18:02
gnufreexnot to base it on QtAug 27 18:02

ThistleWebfirst, that ubuntu user was probs a windows or osx user who has moved to linux, although they'd rather it wasnt ubuntuAug 27 18:16

cubevectorif you are a ./configure; make all; make install person you don't care too much about specific distrosAug 27 18:17
