Does Linux count as PC?

Kubuntu kicks ass... but thats only because my hard drives took a **** and now I am booting off a disk every boot haha

sean3 · 10-27-2009, 12:29 AM

Windows. I'll pass on paying out the ass for a prebuilt computer running a watered down version of unix with borderline zero gaming support.

Renegade_ · 10-27-2009, 12:32 AM

Its not even unix based anymore! Didnt they move to x86?

lagos · 10-27-2009, 01:50 AM

Are you using kde4? I was just checking out 4.3. They did a really nice job with it.

x86 is just the processor type that runs the OS.
The "unix" based part refers to how the os is designed to work. Things like higher security standards, how the kernel works, certain directory structures, no use of dll files or a registry, etc... are what define it as being unix based or not.

Linux is unix based, and you run it on your x86 machine.

I have a custom PC, but I've always loved MAC. Their machines have a clean appearance, and their OS options are great, everything is so user friendly. Apparently Windows 7 has some MACesque features and I'll be giving it a try.

MacBook

Huh? Linux is Linus' unix. Hence the name LinuX

From wikipedia:
"A Linux-based system is a modular Unix-like operating system. It derives much of its basic design from principles established in Unix during the 1970s and 1980s. Such a system uses a monolithic kernel, the Linux kernel, which handles process control, networking, and peripheral and file system access. Device drivers are integrated directly with the kernel."
