I have used chrome as my primary browser for about a year. However, for anything
like purchases, banking or important stuff, I have to switch to Firefox.
Chrome is just broken, more often than not.
This is more true than most people realize. Many companies/subdivisions decide on one or two hardware
choices (eg. HP G6 BL460C servers) . Redhat can't possibly test every combination of H/W with their
S/W. So only a fool would put full trust in them...
After nearly 19 years of near exclusively using Linux, I'm finally giving up on it. Why?
Chronic and ongoing problems with:
- Sound
- Video
- Wifi
- Power mgmt (suspend/hibernate/battery life)
- Hardware support in general
- Endless application problems (eg. no iTunes)
- A million applications that only partially work.
And all the distributions seem to be going sideways instead of forward.
Do yourself a favor, just go with Mac or Windows and run Linux in Virtualbox.
You misunderstand, CMO is used to show energy equivalences. Wind doesn't blow all the time (unlike the hot air on slashdot)...
Lets just face it, not being able to watch a video in the browser and having to open a separate application is just a pain in the butt,
The converse is worse: being forced to use a browser to watch videos, especially via, flash is a pain.
