System responsiveness, broken API of libraries in almost every version.

Here are my toughs why linux sucks I won’t tell about how you do things In Linux (ask someoneon forum if you want it to be done) but mainly about it’s slowness. Nah I heard many times Linux has better multitasking, kernel never panics, you don’t have to restart Linux etc. I say bull**** downloading from my local network (about 2000PC’s) some decent movie data using direct connect with speed 4MB/sec makes my system totally unresponsive I can’t do nothing except waiting until download finishes. Where is that great multitasking feature that we should have in modern OS’s it feels like it is good old ms dos. Nah I tried everything running application on lower priority won’t fix issue. And guess how win xp deal with that situation?. Just great, just great everything works fine. There are alternative schedulers to make system more responsive. Actually someone feel the difference? not me. Bloat ware this is Linux for me. Full unnecessary software interpreters. And hmm ever heard of DLL hell I never had that problem but Linux so libraries different version - different api nah that’s real one hell. Try installing some app not maintained back from 1996 good luck. Overall for now it’s good for nerds with a lot of time and passion not for ordinary pc user and for sure not as first os for my old daddy.
PS. Shame that some fanatics forcing us to use this software on university.
Sorry, but I think your PC
Sorry, but I think your PC sucks here, not Linux.
I've had hell of a lot worse experience with Windows and networking than Linux and networks. And multitasking responsiveness is light years ahead of both Windows Vista or OS X. I've used them all and I stick with Linux because of its *snapiness* under load.
The only way you can bring it down is if you do not have RAM for proper buffering so you end up basically doing IO wait and if you want to start something, well,
1. you are writing some file
2. your box needs to read libraries to load some app
and this contention causes #2 to get delayed a lot.
The only solution is to have lots of RAM.
You `top` (command line) to see if your problem is IO bound, CPU bound or memory bound.
For proper networking transfer you need IO speed of your hard drive to be faster than IO speed of your network! Otherwise it will become slightly laggy if you do not have enough RAM (like under 1GB or something)
BTW: Same thing happens on Windows, but hell of a lot easier than in Linux! And OS X has to be the worse.

Doesn't work on linux, works on windows out of the box: IT'S THE USERS FAULT
No, it's not. I've had linux hang and freeze when copying a file over a network share more than once. This is simply unacceptable behavior.
I don't even know what your
I don't even know what your talking about. Networking is one of the corner stones of Linux. Has anyone ever experienced slow performance with a download going? ever? Now, I am not defending Linux here, I just don't think that this is even possible unless you have a computer that can handle nothing or, you are maxing your bus to the hard disk with this download.
I did. I still do. On
I did. I still do. On different hardware.
Even better; Ubuntu froze on me once while copying a file over a network share once, no option but to reboot. FS got corrupted and I lost all my user data. GOOD JOB LINTARDS.
Thankfully I know Linux is a piece of shit so I make daily backups on a USB HD (which took some time before even getting linux to see it). I really wish this lab would wake the fuck up and stop wasting everyone's time with this shitty OS.
Network handling is fine (i
Network handling is fine (i guess) almost everything else is not. How my pc can suck when on windows xp everything is fine? There is something plainly wrong with this os as a desktop pc. You will ask me if hdparm settings were right I can assure you that my Linux configuration is fine. It can be quality of dc client. But this is the problem quality of applications and total incompatibility and no standards at all in user interface, api, distributions. As for me everything should be simplified and more integrated. No one wants to hack have fun with console on with basic things like networking or text processing. Who is not lazy ? Damn why I should learn such things like mounting, compiling, trying to install applications with alien etc… if I work in grocery shop (I am not) and I am a simple man (yes I am).
Now from the other side if you are software/hardware developer that is working on let’s say 1000-25000 pc’s how u can keep up with all conflicts between distributions, libraries api, changes of kernel etc. Hell, Linux is not for small/average size software developers. And fanatics of Linux still wonder why almost nobody is writing for Linux. Windows is cheaper and predictable!
