XFCE has had 11 advancements since xubuntu has used it. This means that 89 bugs has been patched since xubuntu was created.

You're retarded to think that without ubuntu that linux was even have a 4chan community for linux users. No one wants to use linux if it means that a massive learning curve is required just to surf the web.

No shit. You think ubuntu has not provided any drivers or produced any results for the kernel team?

You can follow what I said. When it comes to ubuntu, they are the best because they provide more to the linux community then just applications and packages. I used Ubuntu and kernel were appropriate.

Debian has provided some drivers to linux but ubuntu has the most provided to driver support in the kernel.

Yes, I am implying that ubuntu and the people involved created drivers to support more.

>OMG mate
>A distro community provides to the linux kernel and not just their distro???

Yes that is correct. As I refereed to ubuntu and linux as two projects that work together to support more. Thus linux and ubuntu are as strong as Red Hat and linux.

>>
>>54605461
>A lot of groups pushing linux

Yeah it is ether *ubutnu* or debian/fedora.

Debian would never had grown linux the way it has been. Ubuntu drive the biggest IoT produce since 2008 when IoT was just a concept.

Fedora has less then 30% of ubuntu user database. Ubuntu has grown linux by 43% in the desktop area. Apart from what linux was built for, desktop would never had taken off without ubuntu.

4chan people would only be exposed to linux if they knew about it. If all there is are server systems, do you think anime fucktards and gentoo retards would even know what linux is good for in the desktop would.

From the linux foundation for statistics of linux growth in relation to distro growth.

Because it has unfinished potential. The Linux community will never band together to pool in their resources and skills to perfect the OS. Open source is like living off the grid: away from the modern and conveniences that make life easier and you rough it out and improvise. But Apple has pull a lot of features from Linux and BSD so it makes it harder for the everyday computer illiterate to make the leap and use it.

I never understand you linux fags, always saying that its better then windows but I say, how?

so here are some pros and cons for linux and windows:
Linux
Pros
>free
Cons
>not user friendly
>always need to be connected to internet
>don't know where you're downloading any of your software from(might as well be installing spyware)

Windows
Pros
>easy to install
>don't need to be connected to internet to download software, just pop in a disc
>don't need to type in random shit into some console to download shit if you do choose to use internet
>know where you're software is coming from

Cons
>windows 10 is spyware
>microsoft is forcing people to update to 10 if you have ASUS motherboard
>virus ridden (only retards get viruses, so really this is more of a retard con only)
>can't install onto a usb drive to run off like linux(which i do commend them for)


So I don't know I prefer windows, at least I know where I am getting my spyware from rather then not knowing.

Also this is bait, I could've chose to skip this thread but I just want some butthurt :)

It's not. Always had problems with wifi cards and adapters, on multiple desktops and laptops, on multiple wifi connections.
