Quick question guys. Purely out of interest trying to get some opinions on what other devs like to use out of winxp or win7 apart from Linux obviously
Thanks

I always use Windows 7, usually with Cygwin because most tools I [attempt to] use are Linux only.. But only if I'm too lazy to use Linux. Linux is always a ****lot faster

window 7 .. and put Ubuntu 11.04
Thought so. Linux is def so much faster for big batch scripts and stuff compared to cygwin lol good for the odd job though

I use win7 it's much faster than xp, but only for gaming. for programming i use ubuntu.
Windows 7 64-bit and Ubuntu 10.10 LTS 64-bit FTW

Anyone have any luck just running straight Linux, Ubuntu, whatever on the gtab? Something where the sound works and is usable/stable?

Sorry to say but for Linux being not very popular finding someone to take the time to do this is rare

Yes, sort of...
There is both the chroot solution to running linux and there is a native rom for xubuntu. Unfortunately for both of these solutions the sound isn't working. Hopefully once the guys working on the honeycomb kernel get things working we will see some ports of Linux distros.

I guess it will just be a new brench of linux distribution with android like ui

An android desktop would be slower than a version like linux or windows and android just doesn't have the software of any desktop os so would be a poor choice to use as one.
For example say you want to convert a video or add subtitles to it, make a rom or do some developing etc. Bit hard on what is meant to be a mobile os. Next android version could change that but not anytime soon.

The Linux 3.3 kernel is bringing in Android features. There is also the Ubuntu for Android project going on. I imagine if Android stays popular that someday you'll be able to easily run Android apps right in Linux. This would help out Linux as it would get some popular apps out there like Neflix and may make it more appealing to people.
At this point, an Android desktop ui wouldn't be of use to anyone, really. As stated before Android doesn't have any desktop applications, and it would likely be a few hundred mb's to get a fairly usable set of apps. Why go through the trouble, when you can just use a launcher like kde plasma?

... plasma is basically a ROM for actual linux.
its very pretty, has some cool features, and is featured in kubuntu
Another problem is that for all apps that use native arm code would not run on an x86 processor

No. Plasma is not basically a Read Only Image (ROM) of a system.
Plasma is the desktop shell of the K Desktop Environment (KDE).
Your android device is more of an actual Linux system than various systems you can run KDE on, as KDE is in not limited to systems running on top of a Linux kernel.

I don't know the ins and outs... Sorry.I'm still rather new to Linux, just installed Ubuntu via wubi on my laptop.... Anyways, I just meant it more like "kde is the front end of the whole shebang, just like a ROM is" I guess I probably should've said launcher...
Sorry for any misconceptions

I'm eagerly awaiting an android desktop environment. I've been using osx for a decade, and I'm getting a little sick of it. Windows is on my gaming machine, and always will be. Plus I can use that machine for heavy CPU stuff like video conversion. But I would love to switch to a smooth Androud environment for every-day use (web browsing, facebook, email, IM, etc).
In the same vein, my friend's daughter corrupted her netbook with viruses within about 2 weeks of getting it, despite anti-virus protection, etc. I offered to install Linux (Newborn) for her to try, which she did, and loved it. Now her only complaint is that she can't download cool apps like she can on her Android. That's another perfect Android scenario. Unfortunately Android x86 isn't compatible with half the hardware on the device (yet). But hopefully someday...
What OS are you guys using on pc? Im on wondows 7 but i was wondering if there was another option other that w7. Ive heard of zorin os today and thats about it.
I have Ubuntu on mine old PC and Mac OS on my other one. Thinking about replacing Linux with Android soon!

Is it at all possible for the Windows 8 os to be ported to our android devices? Don't hate please..just a noob being a noob
Sent from my SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
Definitely not the full version but possibly RT.RT is the windows 8 version that runs on ARM processors.
Would be an interesting dual boot
Like posted above, the full version of Windows 8 is not meant for the ARM architecture that Android phones use, but RT (found on the RT Surface Tablet) is.

It would still need a custom kernel and drivers, which seeing windows rt is very locked down I doubt it will happen.
