It is strongly declared that ubuntu is suitable for those who have enough time to experience new things and have a certain level of computer skills. It is best for cainiao and lazy people to use windows.

Ubuntu8.04 was finally released. Looking forward to it for a long time. Wubi is used for installation. It took several days. I am a lazy, haha, But I have long wanted to switch to a linux desktop for many reasons. It is easy to learn linux and will not be infected with viruses.

However, windows also has many advantages, and multimedia performance is excellent. In linux, sound and image are not perfect due to driver reasons. Driver development is not very good either. There are few advantages in compatibility and speed. It can be said that the performance advantages of the character interface cannot be reflected in x-window, but due to the continuous upgrade of some of the latest features, more bugs are added. Of course, 3D desktop is indeed better than windows vista, but I think it is still lacking in performance and compatibility.

The second is the difference in usage habits. I'm used to software like IE and QQ. I'm not used to firefox and eva. For various reasons, many websites cannot be displayed normally in firefox, or even cannot be displayed at all. Although IE has such vulnerabilities and security issues, IE is still the mainstream in the market. However, another good news is that firefox's market share is also increasing (30% already)

The solution is not none. In linux, a software named wine can be used to run windows applications. Currently, more and more programs are supported, but I hope to have some silly solutions. I think it is too time-consuming to adjust wine settings and even compile wine to run a windows application. (Fortunately, such software already exists, such as wine-doors)

I particularly emphasize that IE and QQ can be solved using ies4linux, but there are some minor problems. For example, buttons are garbled and cannot be entered in Chinese. QQ can use eva. However, it seems that there are also some problems, such as number pick, which seems to be related to the number of friends, or simply run it with wine. Another solution is to use virtual machines. Install a virtual machine such as vmware in linux and run windows applications in the Virtual Machine. However, this method is simple, but sacrifices the performance. Games and other programs cannot be tolerated.
The buttons in ies4linux are garbled.

The font of is also installed, but I don't think the default font of Wenquan is very nice. Ies4linux's Chinese Input has also been solved, and the method previously mentioned on the forum is not correct. Maybe it's because I'm not using scim, but scim-bridge.

Solution for the Forum: it is the SCIM input method that comes with the system, remove the check box before "front-end" of "scim Settings"> "global settings"> "embed pre-edited strings into the customer window", and everything is OK.

Even QQ's problems have been solved. Why don't we need Ubuntu?
