Maybe we are whiny babies. I personally dislike people in general, and that includes other college kids. People are loud and they spread their germs everywhere.
What you say is totally correct. However, it's not easy to get over something like social anxiety once you have it due to circumstances beyond your control (aka your parents).
Yeah, as someone who had a helicopter parent, They do ruin everything. Kids can't make their own decisions or express themselves with helicopter parents butting in all the time. It really sucks.
Well, the nice thing about Linux is the ability to tune things to your heart's content, like adding BFQ and BFS to the kernel for a more responsive desktop experience.
I see your point though. Linux is used a lot for server applications so I can understand why it assumes that. And I can also understand Linus' point of view for only wanting one scheduler, since it's easier to maintain and there's no switching. CFQ and CFS need to work for all sorts of different systems.
I'm assuming you're using Ubuntu, in which case it isn't too hard to add another desktop environment. http://askubuntu.com/questions...
As for BFQ, you'd have to download the kernel source, patch it for BFQ, and configure it for your system, selecting the necessary drivers, then compile it, and then update the bootloader to load the new kernel. It's a lot of work that you probably don't want to go through.
Here's a link as to why Ubuntu doesn't support it. It's still young, and unlike CFQ the scalability is much lower. It's probably just easier for them to use CFQ and CFS. http://askubuntu.com/questions...
Well, it could be the scheduler you're using. If I'm not mistaken, the linux kernel by default uses CFQ. I use BFQ and from the benchmarks it pretty much beats CFQ hands down.
I also use LXDE, which is more lightweight than KDE. To be honest I don't notice that much of a difference between Windows and Linux, but that may be because I use a SSD.
Yeah as another poster said Microsoft wants you to do everything on Windows.
I'm pretty sure you could do the same thing on Kodi with a Raspberry Pi. It would just take more work. I'm pretty sure there is free scheduling out there.
I think it also has to do with the royalties Microsoft has to pay on the codecs.

Have you tried LXDE? LXDE is pretty much as lightweight as you can get in a DE without going barebones.
I use Ext2Fsd but I don't write to my EXT4 partitions from Windows.
That's why you install Flashblock and click on the stuff you want to play.

Agreed. The Component Based Servicing that Windows 7 uses kind of sucks, if you compare it to how XP worked. http://answers.microsoft.com/e...

Yep. Not to mention Intel is actively blocking eGPU implemntations using Thunderbolt. http://forum.techinferno.com/d...
