Written by Luke, drawn by Cedric Atizado of http://www.familiar-ground.com/ which has a talking frog - what more could you possibly want?
Plus it’s fairly new on the scene, so you can quickly get up to speed, and in a few years be cool and say “I was reading familiar ground BEFORE it got big”
ROFL! SO TRUE!
Support for Drivers on Linux is so retarded!
Stupid ATI, Intel Nvidia, etc.
Nevertheless, emulated drivers work pretty well.
Linux is still able to kick ass though
Well, I’ll be sleeping better from now on.
Nice.. XD (however Linux supports more devices than any other os: it’s on windows that you have to insert the cd with the drivers)
those linux bots will crush most humans but because the driver is not up-to-date they’ll ignore many of them and the humans will survive!
@Giorgio Sironi: I was gonna say that, but was refusing because I was afraid I would get yelled at…
Pfft, if they were good Linux bots they’d write their own drivers.
lmao, who needs more than 1 mac, they own!
LOL this is brilliant!!
Thanks for letting me work on this Luke. It was fun.
Linux may install with support for more hardware but just like with games and business apps there are waaay more 3rd-party drivers for Windows. Well Windows needs them with its market saturation. Only occasionally does a Linux user need one of thoNO CARRIER
One mac would do the job nicely. And why would you wait for Linux drivers to “be released?” If you’re a Linux user, you probably aren’t just a user and a consumer, you are an active participant in the development process. Write your own damn drivers.
Windows is OK for 12 year olds playing games, stay at home dads, and soccer moms, but everyone else should be using Linux!
I do on site tech support for a living, and I always have more trouble finding drivers for Windows then I do for Linux. Back in the 90’s Linux had problems with drivers, but things have changed a lot in the past 10 years, maybe you should update your jokes also. Between Windows with all the security problems (how dumb is it that you have to buy software to protect you broken system) and Mac with it’s closed system and over priced hardware, I think that the world is a much better place because we have a third choice.
Windows has security problems because PEOPLE USE IT. Think about it. Both Linux and Macintosh have virus’s, but not many. Mac’s are, at most, 5% of the market, while Linus is about 1%. They aren’t inherently superior in security, there are simply far less people using them, and therefore no incentive for people to make viruses. Do people make Trojans for commodore 64’s? Apple 2’s? No, because that would be stupid. Now, don’t mistake my intentions. The competition between the brands is one the best things that could happen, as it makes all side’s compete for the consumer’s attention. But denying Linux large driver issues and utter uselessness for gaming is a ridiculously pointless tactic. Linux IS terrible to find drivers for, and has no real standard on how to do things. It’s only “free” if you donate countless man hours of time to it. They know this, and make you pay out the ass for support. Obviously, this could get better if more people used it, but in the meantime, the average user has no real reason to use linux, even if all they do is browse the web (flash problems anyone?) Linux is good for mass cloning servers, Macs are good for art design, and Windows is good for everything else.
Actually, the free (which is not describing cost, by the way) nature of the Linux system makes it more secure for anyone with enough knowledge to tweak it to their liking. This makes it impossible for someone to write a virus that can target more than a select few of these people. This, of course, is less about Linux in particular than it is about the free software (again, not cost) model.
Free actually refers to being allowed access to the source code and the freedoms that come with that access.
Hey when you say that Linux doesn’t have much market share take into account the Internet. Linux runs on a large chunk of servers.
I installed Linux Mint on my laptop and I didn’t have to find a single driver. Everything was right there from the beginning. Debian was the same story, except I couldn’t find a 3d graphics driver, only 2d, but it’s not the end of the world. Also, Linux takes the cake for most drivers included in its kernel compared to the Windows and Darwin(Mac OS X) kernels.
Thank you for making fun of all three.
hay if i were going for a laptop wich of the 3 wood be best for game’s
Norwind- I believe you took a wrong turn somewhere.
You were probably looking for some tech forum somewhere, or maybe Yahoo Answers.
This is the comments section for a webcomic.
Also Windows. Macs don’t even play most games. Linux can do it in lots of cases, but if you don’t already know Linux, it’s not as simple as Windows’

I sometimes wonder if trolls are responsible for rising trends in socio-relativism between intellectuals?
I’m smart (’cause I have such-and-such-an-operating-system), you’re all dumb (regardless of your OS).
Somewhere along the lines criticalthinking.exe encountered an error and had to shut down.
I’m a system admin and I know what I’m talking about when I say…. it’s a funny comic!! WIN!!
I have been back and forth from Windows Vista, Ubuntu, and Windows XP for the past 3 years. By far, Windows is the best experience I’ve had. Sure, there are errors now and then, and sometimes pretty frequently. But at least in between those errors and problems, I have access to the powerful, effective software that I need. Linux, on the other hand has a lot of software that feels somewhat incomplete, or sometimes just doesn’t work on my system. I use FL Studio a lot, and the only Ubuntu equivalent is Linux MultiMedia Studio, which is TERRIBLE. Sure, people are going to recommend trying to run FL Studio from Wine, but it works terribly, and is not worth the effort. I am telling everyone right now, if you are a current Windows user, don’t switch to Linux. Linux has just not caught up with Windows yet in terms of software diversity, availability, and functionality.
As a Linux (Ubuntu) user for three years now, I can pretty surely say that I can use my system for nearly anything I want to. (web surfing, programming, basic image editing, general life assistance, flash games, document handling and storing, chatting, and anything else a student could want)
Sure, there are rare problems with some not so widespread software or non-standard configurations, but I think it’s even easier to figure those out than it was (is) on XP, thanks to the various forums and documentation.
And I can be sure that my system is absolutely safe from all popular attacks (viruses, spyware, malware, adware, trojans, phishing, infected Office documents, …), always up to date, and free forever.
I really don’t see why you guys are arguing about operating systems. Just use Linux and WINE.
Ok I use all of them. But Linux is AWESOME! Mac is closed, and windows is fun because you get to reformat the hard drive yearly because of viruses.
If you reformat your computer because of viruses, you should not be using computers. Reformatting should always be a last resort.
What is up with you people. If you want to use Linux, use Linux. If you want a mac, use a mac, if you want windows, use windows. And SHUT UP. Why do you trolls insist on arguing over which system is best. The best system is the one that you prefer. What is right for you may not be right for me. I have used all three extensively, and I have a favorite. Why is it my favorite, because it does what I want, I can customize it the way I want it, I can depend on it not to have problems very often. And the problems it does have are easily fixed, because I understand how the system operates. The other systems just did not make sense to me. I take care to be careful to make sure I don’t get viruses, so that has never been a problem in the 12 years I have had this particular pc. I have replaced the motherboard twice, I have replaced a hard drive, the processor twice, added ram once, updated the BIOS once. Have dual-booted (different OS’s) for several years.
What you use is what you use, I don’t care, why do you care what I use? I know the advantages and disadvantages to each, and have picked out what I want to use, and I don’t care if you like it or not. Most people don’t care about your opinion either, so stop trying to tell everyone else what OS to use.
It’s a comic, people. A comic.
And quite a good one too!
(OSes are like politics, religion and sports; you mention it and they will come crawling out to fanboy all over the place)
This is great. very funny!
