Windows: Linux Can't Touch This

8.10 has an updated Xorg as well (naturally). Pretty much everything is auto-detected now. The Xorg config it gave me is pretty much blank. Video modes, which driver to use, etc... is now all auto-detected. Hell, even the default mouse + keyboard sections aren't in the new Xorg as they are also auto-detected.

I have no idea what you are supposed to do if the auto-detect fails, but that hasn't happened to me on the handful of machines I've installed it on (oldest being an Athlon T-bird 1.4ghz with geforce 2 mx in a refurbed gateway, newest being a Thinkbad Z61p with C2D 2.33ghz and a firegl V5200m - and yes, wireless works perfectly, including WPA-Enterprise)

Oh I agree with that. During initial package configuration everything is auto-detected. However, in recovery mode you can manually select resolutions as well if something should go wrong.

No, I mean everything is auto detected every time X starts. There *IS* no initial configuration, as the xorg.conf is blank! (or close enough to blank as to not matter)
 
What I get from these threads is that everyone tells the Linux cult what the problems are, they just refuse to listen and correct them, all the while telling everyone it's just fine.

Care to point out what these "problems" are? Wireless drivers are already being worked on, as are GUIs to configure wireless networks. What other actual *PROBLEMS* are there?

Just saying "make it more user friendly" isn't a problem or suggestion - its pretty much just being annoying. It isn't that its not user friendly, its just that its different - no harder or easier (often times much, much easier, actually) for a brand new computer user, while its harder for a Windows user just due to the nature of being different.

I have yet to see a single person point out a real, fixable problem with Linux in this entire thread that isn't already being worked on. Not a single one.
 
I'm not gonna repeatedly point out the same damn problems over and over, I may as well beat myself against a brick wall.

And it's been said, once again, over and over, that the problem isn't easier to use, it's alot of things, that once again, you cult refuse to listen to.

LIKE WHAT? There hasn't been a single problem listed here that isn't already being worked on, NOT ONE. If it really was a lot of things you would have just named one rather than blabbing on for two sentences saying that you aren't going to say anything.

So far the only thing I've seen you do in this thread is spread FUD, and not even partially valid FUD.

Yeah I went a ahead and took a look at it. It's honestly been a long time, all I was willing to do was to clean my X org I didn't bother rebuilding my packages. So I cleaned out the Nvidia driver it went back to an autodetected VESA mode. So yeah you're right.

The only thing I'm not sure is if it is something the Ubuntu devs have added as for Arch you still have to make an xorg.conf with the latest Xorg. Whatever, I just do whatever the distro recommends *shrug*
 
the hal/evdev based xorg to auto-detect and setup yr system each boot while meaning that the xorg.conf isn't needed anymore IT is if you want to overrride/tweak things - I put a load of nvidia driver enable options in there
 
and yer details on what is broken and not being worked on, just more FUD from the FOOS having MS shills that populate this board
