None of the above, lol. Try CrazyBrowser. I can open 30 or more sites in its tabs without crashing my comp. Can't do that with i.e.    ;D

So can I, unfortunately when I tried it I forgot about the many loud and random flash songs that I have bookmarked and that my speakers were up to max. Firefox always the best. Any program with open source modding will always come out trumps. Except if its called Linux and has been made too complicated for any single person to understand how to use.

And there are people who will disagree with that also.

Disagree with what? That they do know everything about Linux or that it can be the best?

Disagree that Windows is easier to use than Linux, and that Windows is the best.

Yes, Accessless stated:

To which is was replied that some people would disagree with... the stated reply was then:

the stated points of disagreement bear no resemblance to the original "made too complicated for any person to understand how to use", which was a direct fallacy.


The real thing is that it's a "paradigm shift" of sorts, from windows. It used to be X-Windows was used as a windowing environment, and now it is KDE, gnome, etc. And IMO most of the GUI based distributions (Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Linux Mint, and countless others... heck, almost all of them) seem to be to be an interesting combination of macintosh and Windows GUI elements; for example, the  menus appear at the top, but there is also a taskbar that appears at the bottom; most elements of Linux are accessible via both the GUI as well as the terminal, and the GUI itself, including the logon-screens, and so forth, is relatively polished.

And yes; it is difficult to learn, once to scratch the surface. but is understanding Linux repositories and .config files really any different from learning about the windows registry? Not really; the main difficulty is that a lot of the knowledge one gains in windows doesn't apply to Linux... I found myself trying to use Ubuntu as if it was windows... and ended up frustrated, until I realized that Linux was, being a different operating system from the ground up then windows, not only different but also used a different UI paradigm and had a different "spirit" in a sense, much as various programming languages have different perspectives on the best way of telling a computer to do something, so to does windows, Linux, and in essence any other OS. saying that this difference is in fact bad is to denounce variety and innovation in both new operating systems as well as new versions of other operating systems integrating successful features of other operating Systems.


the most difficult part for me was merely understanding the distributions! there are a LOT to choose from, and it's really not clear exactly what the differences are, aside from a different label, until one tries them.

I have answered another browser poll before, but like what I've answered from all of those, I used to love Firefox among the other browsers.
