I am amazed at all the crying and gnashing of teeth over small parts of
Linux. There are currently over 200 separate Linux distributions, some
of which are not children and do things there own way. Try one of them,
it may meet all your expectations.
MY first venture was Suse on three floppy diskettes. I didn`t appreciate
what it was and bought a imac, then a second. Finally I retried Linux,
PCLinux OS, and from there to Debian with a little hopping along the
way, but mostly Debian based.
My point is, there are lots of options out there. If you do not like
Windoze, like to get petty over how your pc boots up, get over it, and
move on to another distro.
Ubuntu is going to do whatever Ubuntu wants. That should be perfectly
clear. Debian spent over $8 million last year. The other big players are
dropping/dumping in big bucks too.
I have donated $0.00 to Linux. I`m grateful for Linux in all its forms.
Be grateful, you too can be a user for $0.00. If that isn`t good enough,
move on to another OS.
Without going past the first page of search results, I found these
alternate OS`s. Maybe one of them fits you to a tee.
1. Linux: The Best Windows Alternative
2. Chromium OS
3. FreeBSD: The Free Operating System That Isn`t Linux
4. FreeDOS: Free Disk Operating System Based on MS-DOS
5. illumos: A Free OS for Your PC
6. ReactOS: The Free Windows Clone Operating System
7. Long-Running Free OS Haiku
8. MorphOS: An Alternative OS for Old Macs
9. A Free Alternative Operating System: AROS
10. MenuetOS
11. PrimeOS: A Free Android OS for PC
12. One of the Oldest Alternatives to Windows: RISC OS
If either Linux or one of these do not work for you, can we just stop
the whining?
