- wvdavis, on 10/12/2007, -6/+15601. People will ridicule you for using Ubuntu
I have been sat at work and had people actually laugh out loud at my laptop running Ubuntu. I've had people pick up the free professionally-made official Ubuntu CDs, sneer and throw them back at me. Once people try it out though, they often change their opinion. Even if they don't use it daily, their respect for Ubuntu goes up after at least trying it.
02. You'll feel a part of a rapidly growing community
With the huge number of people jumping on the Ubuntu bandwagon, the community of people willing to support and help out with Ubuntu grows every day.
03. People will help you for no reason
I spent a day last year in the centre of London with a bunch of other Free Software fans, giving out information and CDs to members of the public. One guy asked "Why are you doing this?" to which I replied "Because I want you to try Free software". I am not alone in this, many people around the world give up their own time to help others learn how to use Ubuntu and get the best from it.
04. Fewer people will try to attack you
Technically it's mostly not people that attack, but often compromised Windows computers instructed by nasty people to do their bidding. Ubuntu ships with no externally accessible services enabled by default, and probably one of the best free firewalls available out of the box. That is combined with regular free updates to keep my system up to date. I rarely worry about the nasty people and compromised computers out there, and wont have to install 3rd party applications to secure my machine, and certainly wont lose sleep over it.
05. You'll be able to ignore most viruses
I don't run an AntiVirus program on Ubuntu. There I said it. Arguably, due to the lower market share of Ubuntu on the desktop, and the robust and well thought out security model on Ubuntu, there are almost no viruses to speak of which could successfully compromise a well maintained Ubuntu desktop. Viruses just don't exist in the same volumes as they do for Windows.
06. You'll have some compatibility problems
There are free office applications available immediately after Ubuntu is installed which can read and write many popular office formats such as Word documents, Excel spreadsheets and Powerpoint presentations. There may be some incompatibilities with complex documents incorporating rich content or documents which include complicated macros, but these are few and far between. Most often there may be slight formatting issues, but for the most part, documents open just fine.
07. The Internet will mostly be the same
Whether you browse the web, chat online, watch videos, download music or talk to friends the internet experience will be much the same as it is on Windows. The applications you use may have different names, and may look different or be missing some features, but for the most part, most people won't notice a difference.
08. You'll be continually amazed at the fit and finish
With projects such as Beryl and Compiz, Cairo and Tango, the look and feel of the Ubuntu desktop is getting better with every release. Ubuntu has had the 3D desktop for some time now, and is vastly more customisable in look and feel to either Windows or Mac OS X. With numerous Desktop Environments and Window Managers to choose from, many screensavers & themes and desktop tools & utilities, Ubuntu can look every bit as good, if not better than, the competition.
09. You'll have a "damn it!" moments
Ubuntu is not Windows or Mac OS X, things are different. Get used to that. Sometimes a hardware vendor won't ship a driver for their product, or a video card may not work as expected, or a popular application on Windows just isn't available for Ubuntu. Things are getting better, Ubuntu has better hardware support out of the box than either Windows or Mac OS X, video drivers are constantly under improvement and applications are being written and ported all the time by the community. The "damn it!" moments are becoming less and less in my house.
10. You'll have some "ah-ha" moments
It's not difficult to be amazed how easy things are in Ubuntu. For example to install an application there is often only one place one needs to go - the package manager. Generally it's a simple matter of choosing the software from a list. Ubuntu will download it, and any dependant packages or libraries and install it all. putting a handy icon in the menu for it. For removing packages it's just as easy as installing and can remove the dependent packages too.
11. Keyboard shortcuts will drive you nuts
Some keyboards have extra keys with pretty little pictures on them. Most work, some may not, but might in the future. For those that do work it's possible to configure them to do many common tasks like open email, start the calculator, turn the volume up and down or even put a picture of a teddy bear on the screen if that's what you want.
12. You'll regret your purchase - of Windows, but you'll get over it
Most computers these days come with Windows pre-installed, and paid for. Once Ubuntu is installed, either by dual-booting or completely removing Windows, you will regret that money you paid for Windows. It didn't take me long to remove Windows completely from the first computer I dual-booted. Maybe you could call up your hardware vendor and try and get a refund. Maybe you could put that money towards a new toy for yourself, or even donate it to a good cause.
13. You'll be amazed at how much there is to modify
If you want to. Some people use the system as it is, out of the box. Others like to tweak their system to make it look "just so". With Ubuntu you can do either. The system is installed, ready to go, but has many hundreds of options for tweaking this, optimising that, tuning the other, to allow you to tailor your computer to work the way you want it to. Pretty much everything is fair game for modification in Ubuntu, which can make Windows and Mac OS X look positively rigid in the flexibility.
14. You'll actually rarely have to reboot
With fantastic stability and tools like suspend and hibernate, I can go for very long periods without actually needing to reboot my Ubuntu computer. Even after installing additional software or updating existing packages, it's rare that a physical reboot is required. There's almost nothing that actually requires a reboot of the computer. If an update does require a reboot of course Ubuntu will tell me, but I can usually safely dismiss and ignore it for days with no adverse effects.
15. There's so much stuff for Ubuntu
Ubuntu has many thousands of applications and utilities available to install for free, immediately after installation. You might want to use your PC as a server, maybe as a telephony system, how about a webcam-based security system or a print server, maybe an internet kiosk or perhaps a childs first computer. Maybe you want to learn how to write programs, or research your family tree. Whatever it is you want to do with your Ubuntu computer, chances are there is set of packages you can install and configure to do it, and chances are it's free too.
16. You'll spend less money than with Windows
Ubuntu is free. It can be downloaded for free and burned to disc for the cost of a blank CD-R. The applictions in the repository are also free to download. Everyone has the freedom to make copies of the Ubuntu software and give away or even sell the copies to other people. You are allowed to modify the software if you want, and use it in pretty much whatever way you want. The freedom you get with Ubuntu isn't just about money, but it certainly helps that it's free of cost.
17. You'll generally be able to re-use old hardware
Ubuntu needs about 256MB of RAM and a 500MHz CPU but can run in less and runs better in more. There are alternatives for computers with slow processors or low amounts of memory. Many people don't discard old computers, but re-use them for other purposes, or hand them down to other members of the family. With Ubuntu the useful life of a computer can be much longer than originally envisaged. Of course it's fine to wipe and reinstall Ubuntu to sell on a computer if you want to make some cash out of your old hardware.
18. Random strangers will stop to talk about Ubuntu
I have been stopped on more than one occasion and been asked about Ubuntu. People come over to look at my laptop, they want to see what Ubuntu looks like. The best bit is I can dig in my bag and give them a free CD so they can try it for themselves.
19. You'll get more things done
Ubuntu has so much great software which is easily installable and quick to pick up that people are often amazed how quickly and easily they transition over from other platforms.
20. The hardware manufacturer is largely irelevant
Ubuntu can be installed on many different hardware platforms. From big-name laptop hardware like Dell and Apple, to independent store beige-boxes, to home-made desktop computers and enterprise servers, Ubuntu can be installed on most computers around today.
21. Everyone is griping about market share
Ubuntu works for me, it works for a lot of other people too. So it's not the number one desktop platform measured by number of installs, but for me it's the number one desktop in my house and business.
22. You'll play pretty well on a Windows network
I can print to Windows shared printers, access files on Windows file shares and of course open Microsoft Office documents under Ubuntu. - cutechimp, on 10/12/2007, -19/+153bury me. it is so hard to reply at the right place at digg.
- brstilson, on 10/12/2007, -5/+86"you forgot to add all the other linux(the other destros) users will laff at you for useing Ubuntu; cause its a point and click interface,"
Oh so you mean Red Hat/Fedora, Gentoo, Xandros, Mandriva, OpenSuSE, Knoppix, Debian, Mepis, and Novell SLED AREN'T "point and click" interfaces? There are two possibilities about your computer use here.
1. You're a Slackware user who is perfectly content to sit in front of a monochrome monitor watching green-on-black text all day and wants to keep all PCs in the dark ages.
2. You're a poser/troll who knows jack ***** about linux.
I'm leaning towards number 2 because you can't spell "laugh," "using," or "distros," (Slackware users need to know how to spell with all that console typing they do) and you obviously don't realize that in linux the GUI is independent of the operating system. You sir, are a Slackware user wannabe. You act like you're a Linux genius so your mom has bragging rights on her mommyblog. I would say it's so you look good in front of your friends except that it doesn't make you look good, and you probably have no friends. - NICU, on 10/12/2007, -1/+69I agree with that. Anyone who has tried Linux in the past and hated it should give it another shot once the next version of Ubuntu is out (Feisty/7.04) in April. I've been using Ubuntu for over a year now and in that time they have made pretty amazing advances in usability. The installer is much simpler than Windows XP, more programs are available out of the box, and more drivers are included so there's rarely any searching for the right drivers (except for video cards).
If you hated Linux a few years ago or even last year, give it another shot, try the Ubuntu Live CD and if you don't like it throw it out, if you do like it go ahead and dual boot it, or install it in a virtual machine they're all free options. - strabes, on 10/12/2007, -8/+62The linux-on-linux hate makes me sick. Who wants to use a text interface for desktop work? I do use the terminal for all package installation/upgrade, most text document editing, etc. But for configuring things, it's nice to have a gui. Only thing left is a gui for synaptics touchpads.
Edit: I don't think anyone is jealous of me, except for maybe the guys on my floor that just spent $300 on vista. - xymor, on 10/12/2007, -3/+53...try the Ubuntu Live CD and if you don't like it throw it out...
Or better yet, give to someone else to try it. - Nougat, on 10/12/2007, -17/+59Oh so it's basically a rip of "The Truth About Switching to Mac" then?
- lebe0024, on 10/12/2007, -2/+39I tried ubuntu for the first time the other day. It took me four hours to get an mp3 file to play. I tried to get automatix, but it's webserver was down. EasuUbuntu didn't seem to work. And I couldn't find any useful documentation by searching google.
However, I found the official documentation on ubuntu.com shortly after, and I was impressed with how well it was written. I feel like it would have gone a lot smoother had I found that documentation first. - micahman, on 10/12/2007, -10/+47I am loving it. Feisty will rock my socks..
- popey, on 10/12/2007, -4/+40I can only talk from the point of view of an Ubuntu user, because that's what I use. Yeah, I do get stick from Debian people, one in particular who hates Ubuntu delights in bitching about it on my local LUG mailing list at every opportunity. But to be honest I don't see too much negative stuff about Ubuntu from anyone else. Maybe I just filter that stuff out. Hey, isn't choice a great thing :)
- wvdavis, on 10/12/2007, -2/+38@ h00paj00 - I did not write the list, it came from the site.
- bobpaul, on 10/12/2007, -9/+43One cannot "hate on" things. One can "hate" things, but not "hate on". Pay attention in class. Middle school is important.
- popey, on 10/12/2007, -4/+38My poor site :(
- Cerialthriller, on 10/12/2007, -1/+28I have a friend of mine who is hardcore into linux, and he is a Fedora fan. I had ubuntu installed for a while on a secondary machine, just mostly for browsing and chatting while i was playing WoW on my main machine. So he got me to try Fedora, and i must say, alot of things i took for granted with ubuntu dont work well in Fedora. The main 2 things were that i could not for the life of me get videos to play properly. They kept "breaking" the account's GUI and i had to keep logging in as root to delete my user and make a new one. The other was that me or my friend could not get my Fedora box to see the share drives on any of my windows machines. This is something that works out of the box with Ubuntu. I never realized it was so difficult to do this until i used Fedora. I think Ubuntu is good for a user who doesnt have the time/energy/desire to mess with every little setting and conf files to get ***** working. Oh noes, their is no root account. lern2sudo
- EdLesMann, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28I think that there is a bit of a misunderstanding about the "hate" Linux users have for each other. Most of it is joking/kidding around and you see that when groups get together. Online you can't really convey sarcasm and jokes too well because people read it differently. You get a group of Linux users together and ask them which distro is best and there is a LOT of joking around and a LOT of teasing but I have never walked away from one of those conversations pissed off wishing ill of someone and their OS of choice.
I attended a Linux Users Group for a couple of years and there were about 20 guys that attended regularly and there were no more then 3 people that used the same distro. I don't think it would be possible for me to count how many meetings started off something like:
"Debian is far too difficult and all their users are elitists jerks!"
"Oh yeah, well Ubuntu is an African word for 'can't install Debian'"
"well mandrake is easier anyway."
"Please, the French always run when they see a German and that's why you use SuSE"
"Psh, If I wanted to join Microsoft I would just buy XP!"
"Well it sure beats burning in dependency hell with Red Hat and Fedora Core's weak RPM installs."
"Please, Synaptic for the win. RPM's can kiss my @$$."
"That's why you use YUM ."
"A lame version of APT."
"Apt? Please. Emerge is clearly better."
"Maybe, but I don't have 2 weeks to compile a gentoo install."
and so forth and so on until we realize that we have already used up like 30 min of time and someone finally says something like:
"hey I just discovered package X and it looks pretty cool. Anyone ever use it?"
and the conversation gets redirected.
Sure there are personal opinions and some of them can be harsh and some of them can just be view points. I personally will never recommend Red Hat to anyone because they cost more then Microsoft and I have yet to see something RH can do that CentOS couldn't do. Is that a hard core slam against RH? No, I recognize how much they have done and what they continue to do but I am not going to recommend them until ( at bare minimum ) they drop their pricing to something reasonable. I sure as hell am going to make that one of my friendly jabs at RH users at any of these conversations because I fully expect a retort against Debian.
It isn't a hate most of the time but a bonding of sorts that does not exist else where.
I some how don't quite see windows users get together and slam each others choice of Windows Vista.
"Home basic sucks."
"Cheaper then the Business version."
"Come on, Ultimate is...well Ultimate. You all suck in comparison."
"Psh, like you use even third of those features."
ect ect ect.
Some how I think that is going to be a very short and lame conversation... - tarball, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24@ h00paj00:
The Ubuntu install CD is a live CD. That is, you can run it completely from the CD without it touching your harddisk. Stick the CD, try it, if you like it there is an 'install' icon on the desktop. - ucg1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+25I've noticed some people are annoyed that Ubuntu is so popular and write it off as a Linux distros for noobs. But those tend to be in the minority. Personally, I'm glad there is a distro that is finally getting everyone's attention. I've been using Linux since 1995 and I use Ubuntu now. Its an excellent Debian based distro with a 6-month release cycle. If anyone is going to laugh at you for using Ubuntu they are obviously clueless.
- revthwack, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26Actually, from a tech standpoint, some operating systems are better than others. From stability to security to resource management, Linux beats XP and Vista easily. What would you call more stable & secure at increased speed if not "superior"?

Why do you think Ubuntu was created? It's a Debian based distro without the infamous Debian snobbery. - GMorgan, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15He referenced the original doc so it isn't plagiarism. It would be plagiarism if he claimed it was all his own work.
- mrben, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15I'm not sure that I totally agree with prime's comment. That was maybe the case a few years ago, but in recent times distros like Fedora and Ubuntu have become mainstream among "technical" users. Sure, you get a few comments, but it's not really a big thing any more. I know a lot of people who administer systems (both personally and professionally) who, while still often using Debian (for example) on their servers, are switching to Ubuntu (for example) on their desktop themselves.
- krinthekuz, on 09/16/2008, -9/+21things bugging me:
-- dia is not nearly a visio replacement
-- gimp is not nearly a photoshop replacement
-- dealing with windows-only administrators sucks. at my univ, the printers don't have drivers in linux, and using generic drivers with those printers makes documents look like crap.
-- copy/paste has different keybindings in many applications, whereas windows is just C/V for everything
the ubuntu docs are pretty good, but for any seriously technical stuff, i always go back to gentoo docs and gentoo forums. the reason people don't like ubuntu users is because most are asking RTFM questions. gentoo still has the most highly technical docs on the web. - thcobbs, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Yeah, Ubuntu's documentation is on par with Gentoo's. If nothing else, you can go to the forums, but I usually find the one-off solutions like autmatix and EasyUbuntu all have problems as it is mainly just a wrapper for what you would do "by hand" with apt-get. And I use "by-hand" in the most liberal way possible.
If all else fails, wait till the end of the year with Linspire's Click-N-Run(CNR) service has been ported to Ubuntu. Should make installing programs frighteningly easy on Linux. - tarball, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12'letting hard drive needle crash dive into plates' - Lol

http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/2135/thetruthaboutswitchingpmp8.png - Keyframe3D, on 10/12/2007, -8/+18here are some of my own:
- copy/paste is *****. There, I've said it. You copy some text in one application, you close down that application, puff there is no more text in clipboard - that is, there is no clipboard. Some applications can't copy/paste simple text between them, let alone idea of copying graphics or other from one to another.
- if you have older ATI cards, you'll have to shutdown computer manually by pressing power button - letting hard drive needle crash dive into plates. I've bought several low-end HP computers which have X200 graphics in them. I thought it might be good. It is, but that shutdown ***** is annoying.
- OpenOffice is good for most of the stuff, really good - and free. But it is not MS Office - it will never be. If you let that fact not bother you, you're good to go.
- Occasionaly you will have to dive into CLI - it's a fact. No clickity-do all the way through.
- For small offices (like mine - 10 people) it is really good and productive. Cost is really a factor, since Windows+Office for all of 10 computers can buy me 7 of those computers (I'm not in USA where everything is dirt cheap) - JimmyRyan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11And this is a perfect example of Ubuntu users being way to generous with helping. I love it! You cant go wrong by switching to a Linux distro that has so much energy behind it's users!

- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10It's rather impossible to switch to Ubuntu if you use WPA since *gasp* it's not supported.
What's even more funny is the HOWTO on how to get it to work... it involves apt-get. Maybe the people writing the distro don't realize that... if you don't have a connection, apt-get won't work. How about INCLUDE IT in the distro?!
What's even more amusing is how every time I bring this up, since it's a HUGE problem in Ubuntu, I get modded down instead of someone actually responding with something somewhat insightful as to why they don't support WPA. - UberNick, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10I can't speak for everyone, but a few of these points were way off in my case.
01. I've never had negative feedback for using Ubuntu. I've worked with multiple *nix distros both on my personal machine and in professional environments. The development industry, from what I've seen, is embracing Ubuntu's compatibility and ease-of use. Even vi/bash gurus with dvorak keyboards don't mind the occasional eye-candy. At home, I've had older family members and friends hop on my machine to check email or write a quick document. Most have no idea it's another OS, or even what an OS is. The intuitive nature isn't a downside at all, and no one I know has criticized it.
06. Compatibility issues force me to keep a dual-boot system (damn Skype USB Phone). It's still not perfect, but the progress over the past couple years has been amazing. In many cases, it's been easier for me to use a LiveCD than to hunt down the Windows driver discs or scour the internet for them.
07. Some sites still only work with IE. ies4linux is great, but I'm still using vmware with windows to access the occasional flash and activex page. I think the flash problems have been resolved in the past year, though.
18. Never had anyone ask about it, and I'm on it at airports and in coffee shops constantly. I'm happy to avoid those creepy Mac-cult like encounters.
22. Printing over the network is still a POA. Some manufacturers require proprietary software just to connect, and I'm forced to reboot into Windows more for network printing than anything else.
The other points are spot on! - Atacand, on 10/12/2007, -5/+13"Ubuntu has better hardware support out of the box than either Windows or Mac OS X"
Riiiiiight....I don't consider having to install video drivers via a command line to be "ha[ving] better hardware support". - dasunst3r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8When I successfully convert people to Linux for the first time, I tell them that if they don't like it, they should come back in six months so that they could at least see how much it's evolving over time. I seriously don't know how I managed to dive in head-first three years ago and love it so much right now!

1 and 2 I understand and agree with, however I don't know about the printing issues you've had. Almost every printer I try to set up with CUPS just works great, including high-end network printers.
As for copy/paste, there are possibly two issues here. First, on the application level, whether it's Windows, Mac, or Linux, keyboard shortcuts are application-specific, for the most part. Some GUI toolkits may provide common shortcuts, in which case all applications which uses those toolkits will probably share those keybindings. That said, I'd be really interested to know which programs you're talking about that have different bindings.
Second, X itself has copy/paste functionality built in. Highlight to copy, middle-click to paste. This will work across 99% of XWindows applications, and thus is fairly consistent. - antiNeo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7@stevemax
You have it all wrong. First of all, no where in the article did it mention Fedora or RPM. The article description even told you "most of it applies to Linux in general". Secondly, Ubuntu's design (along with most Linux distributions) prevents malware better than many operating systems for one good reason: the centuralized package manager. On Windows, 80% of malware comes from the user installing questionable (often pirated) software that just so happens to be infected with malware. The central repository for packages eliminates a huge spectrum of this malware. With all the free (gratis) software avalable on Linux, users don't have to turn to desperate measures such as pirating or shadey shareware. - shawnanigans, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8I say with about 100% certainty, until the vast majority of configuration can be done with the GUI the amount of people who use Linux will be low. It has to be more like Windows' Control Panel or Mac OS X's System Preferences. I'm not saying some tasks can't use command line stuff but in order to get users to switch over Ubuntu and all distros need to be more uneducated end user friendly.
