definition of ubuntu : the piece of shit that nearly ruined my dads laptop how i got into installing ubuntu is becouse of windows vista ( definition of windows vista : piece of shit with too many bsod's) a bsod on my dads laptop (hp pavilion) so i asked him if he wanted it (biggest mistake ever) it loaded i went to google then boom crashed we tried to install windows xp it didnt work the disc is too scrached but we found annother xp disk and its installing fine. so in my oppinion ubuntu = shit

@retepvosnul "da " intarnetz"? LOL..For such a person thinking her or she has INTELLIGENT enough room to correct someone else for being a " bad debater" you certainly need to spray away the rust that is your communication skills. Bbonics is NOT a language. It is an incorrect pronouncing of the english language. It is STREET and NOT "screet". IT IS ROOF and NOT Roouuf. and you dont have a fucking clue how wise and intelligent Pirillo is and how much of a pretty good career he's had going.

chronofusion commented on 23 Apr 2011

@retepvosnul LOL..you dont even know how to STAY ON SUBJECT let alone make a point that makes ANY type of argumentative sense. and i damn sure am not the only one on youtube that knows you're just a silly troll mr. " blah blah..I dont run a spam company" .LOL. IM NOT GOOGLE EITHER.. nor do i care to be. no one cares what you think. Because the only things coming out of your trolling childish brain is BULLSHIT. it's not my responsible to educate you kid. piss off. lol.

Portable? I installed Ubuntu 8.4 inside Vista on my desktop PC last night. Or rather, I let it install itself. I put the disc in the drive, and it asked me what I wanted to do. Did I want to run it from the disc, install it, or what? I clicked to install, and it said, did I want to install it inside Windows? I clicked yes. The system was up and running approximately 35 mins later. An idiot could do it. £3.99 instead of £170.00? ;-)

ALIEN SCIENTIST commented on 23 Mar 2013

Why would you want to run Linux on Windows. Windows is the most vulnerable one when it comes to security/viruses/malware etc. So just run Windows inside Linux virus can't leave virtual program. Do your day to day banking & online shopping in the main os (Linux), and do your porn / games / and adware programs on windows virtually run inside linux. Anything goes wrong just wipe the sucker clean, and your banking details are safe.

Brian Dean commented on 14 Apr 2010

@darkalligator Actually, linux hasn't been erased if you load linux and then windows. The only thing windows did was to overwrite your master boot record. This is easy to fix. You put in an ubuntu CD or USB and boot from that. Then you chroot the linux partition that on your hard drive. Then you re-run the grub installer. Viola, your linux is back. Only takes about 2 minutes if you know what you are doing.

scratchyrice commented on 10 Apr 2009

No advantage in this case, If you simply ran linux, You would gain many advantages such as security, OS Speed, Customization, It never crashes. There is one major disadvantage tho, Due to Microsoft's greed, DirectX is not avaliable for linux, And so games are not ported to linux as its more trouble than its worth. If DirectX was on Linux, Who in their right mind would use windows?

1amfr3e commented on 13 Apr 2009

iyanome Virtual Box will work for windows but when you run windows on the Virtual Box you wont be ably to play 3d games on it. as in wont work as fast and all. thats what are tech person told me for he has tried it did not work. i did to and it didn't work. but any ways i love Ubuntu didn't have to pay one cent for it. plus no virus or spy ware and all that other crap.

Shockszzbyyous commented on 25 Apr 2010

only down side, can't play windows based games in linux, now! if they get rid of this disadvantage, they would make a daring case for windows. well not only with windows based game's but also windows based software, im not saying linux should go windows, just sayin, what if the could somehow get this windows based stuf to work on there system :)

mikethedj4 commented on 07 Dec 2010

I actually have a video on that particular program, and gigafide has a video on the same thing, but he goes over the program andLinux so there's some good resources, and videos to checkout, plus installing software is mentioned in the videos as well, and it's very easy. So no excuses to the people that don't know how to install software lol.

gaahhhhhh commented on 08 Apr 2009

If you have windows installed on your computer and you boot off a "Ubuntu netbook remix" (Ubuntu for netbooks, awesome OS highly reccomended) live CD, and go to install it gives you the option to install Ubuntu side by side with windows. it partitions everything and installs a bootloader for you. It's really cool.

Hampton commented on 25 Oct 2013

Yes, without Wubi, I would still be saying "What's Linux?" Wubi is THE BOMB, especially because if you screw up your Ubuntu install you just open Windows and uninstall it like a program from the control panel. I LOVE Wubi, it's SO much easier and better than the traditional partitioning and GRUB method. WUBI FTW!

tranmere789 commented on 19 Sep 2009

Take displayconfig-gtk (it is atleast in Ubuntu 8.04) sudo displayconfig-gtk change resolution etc... Then update changes in System--->Settings --->Screens I did this operation to my very old computer this summer and it worked. I could change resolution from 800x640 to 1280x1054 (my screen)

shakenama commented on 01 Dec 2009

Wubi is the prefferred method of installing Ubuntu on a Windows It's sooooo easy my 5 year old niece could do it Before installing Ubuntu, I'd recommend partitioning your hard drive, so one partition in running Windows and the other Ubuntu. Just run Wubi following the directions and prompts.

wordreet commented on 09 Apr 2009

The 3.99 was just the cost of the cd and postage. I could have downloaded if for nothing. And, as far as I know the open source ethos is that it's free to use and do with what you will, not that it should be free to aquire from a supplier. There's no such thing as a free lunch. ;-)

chronofusion commented on 23 Apr 2011

@retepvosnul He's helped more people in his life than you can hope you've had time to pitifully insult for halfass justified reasons. Piss off troll. If you don't like looking at Pirillo's videos THEN DON'T CLICK ON THEM! There's your sign you dee dee deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

fernbap commented on 06 May 2009

please tell us what is the hardware that doesn't work. And remember that Ubuntu can't install drives on the live CD, and that is why the live cd experience is never enough. Most graphics cards need proprietary drivers that ubuntu will only install in a harddrive installation.

ocpud2999 commented on 09 Apr 2009

No GPL states they can charge for media and handling charges. You can charge for the CD and even the time it takes to make it. All of that is covered by the GPL. Besides When they say free that does not mean necessarily free as in free beer. More like free as in free speech.

scratchyrice commented on 10 Apr 2009

While linux takes a little more effort to get set up, Once it is, Theres no reinstalling windows every 5 seconds, Or reinstalling drivers etc. Once it's up, Its up for good. To me that is far more important than a little inconvenience at the begining.

Run Linux Programs as Windows Applicaitons

User Comments

Yukari Yakumo commented on 17 Apr 2008

I'm a huge linux fan but i would have to disagree, and agree at the same time, most linux applications do not take the full power out of the graphics processor unit because as of yet they don't have a linux dedicated high performance graphics cards, and the current ones are mainly directx of opengl native and linux cant use DirectX because microsoft copyrighted the software to windows. My point is if you run windows applications in linux they cant take control of many of the features of DirectX.

TheChristianFish commented on 01 May 2010

@cofusion9 Well, Wubi can be a bit confusing. While you can easily uninstall Linux (that you used Wubi to get) from "Add or Remove Programs", Wubi DOES run Linux on your computer. So it runs as a operating system, though installs and uninstalls just like a normal program. At least, I think that's how it works... So actually, yeah, this is a PROGRAM that runs Linux programs (right?) WITHOUT having to reboot your system and boot up Linux from Wubi.

Tagæyan commented on 09 Sep 2010

@TheFricikinTRuth2 Actually i know the win32 API pretty good, and if you would know it as good as I you never had say this ;).. o.K directx 10 (by the way 11 is the newest version) is a windows spec. IF you are a programmer you would preffer linux anyway.. Also you can create awesome graphics in Linux, BUT then you really have to know how to programm, and don't use any preprogrammed shit ! I think you don't really know what you where saying ?!

Tagæyan commented on 08 Sep 2010

@creepilycreepy1 You know the Video is 2 Years old heh ? 2 Years in the Linux Update World are 20 Years in the Windows World ;).. If you are SMART enough to use linux, you can do a heck more than in Windows. In linux you can control everythink !!!!!! Maybe with "a few hoops more than in Windows" but in WIndows you clearly can't control everythink ! And with the MP3 Codec, the only differnece is that Windows preinstalled the codecs....

xDeadLife commented on 04 Jul 2010

@iron888888 I personally use Linux. Mine was able to do everything "out of the box". Now see here is the issue with windows, if you want to get a good movie editing program it costs you around $500USD, unless you brake the law. Now in Linux, there is a community is near 20,000,000. With all these users a lot of them create software that other Linux users can use. Also we are not bound by law even before we turn the computer on.

JAYSTAR commented on 15 Dec 2010

@TazeTSchnitzel i have a alienware m17x that came with a nvida 260m, when installing this card's drivers there is something with in the drivers called physx that is blocking this mode from working when i was installing these drivers over again i just simply left that physx out and installed the rest and worked fine dont know what other graphics cards have that can be blocking seemless mode but the info should help another

YellingSilently commented on 07 Jul 2008

this is kinda cool but I'm thinking that looks really busy. the only thing i need windows for these days is for games and i would not want to run another windows manager of any type on that computer(i already have performance issues). i will stick to using VPC for distribution testing. nice demonstration anyhow.

Leor Flor commented on 22 Aug 2013

It only runs programs supported for Ubuntu meeting all the same dependencies and conflicts that ubuntu based distros of the same version would so not every linux applications will run, not because of incompatibility problems but because some programs will enter in conflict with junks of the directory tree.

JAYSTAR commented on 23 Sep 2010

sucksx cuz u cant run this for 64 bit user and ima 64bit user and been trying 2 do this for a while i use virtual box cuz of the seemless mode but aircrack-ng runs slow when receving packets so its a lost for me both ways around i wonder if anybody knows how 2 fix that problem in virtualbox

JAYSTAR commented on 15 Dec 2010

@TazeTSchnitzel now i use virtualbox and run it seemless mode runs face being that i updated my ram and running a raid 0 config on my hard drives just one thing is if u want to run seemless mode in virtualbox be sure ur graphics card doesnt block it like nvida using FX

TheAureliusification commented on 17 Apr 2011

can you do a tutorial about running linux application in Windows 7? the tutorial you created about this is not effective in Vista and 7. the tutorial you made was created in WindowsXP environment and that maybe applicable only in XP. this is a favor dude.

JAYSTAR commented on 15 Dec 2010

@TazeTSchnitzel in this case im runing ubuntu in vmware ive read some forms maybe could have been something diff named but anywaysz this was the issue and the result after was fixed i will look for the form again to get the exact name of this

LudakLudi commented on 22 Aug 2008

i fix problem ... it not hard ... just enable sharing on your internet connection .i have ADSL connection and i share that to TAP-Colinux ... and restart computer ... now works cool ... easy ;) no more error

Lucas Toews commented on 29 Oct 2011

It'd be easier if you just set up a virtual machine and install a Linux Distribution there. This program is like WINE for Linux, just inverted, so some programs won't run, ya know. Just sayin'

Winston - YouTube commented on 01 Dec 2012

So likely andLinux is worthless. Instead, just use KDE for Windows! It emulates the same thing, and it works with 64-bit! Thumbs up this comment so everybody can see! Enjoy!

Chintendoeddman commented on 03 Nov 2010

I have Ubuntu on my computer. So I use wine to run Windows applications on it. but sadly neither of these methods are quite the same. Nice video anyways.

mikethedj4 commented on 09 Nov 2009

wrong when you go to install 9.04 (maybe 9.10, but haven't tried it yet) you can choose to install ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu, or mythbuntu.

jon chiasson commented on 13 Aug 2008

hrm, can you tell me why i get an error when i try to open konsole from the andlinux menu, it says it cant connect to 192.168.xx.xx

TazeTSchnitzel commented on 06 Dec 2010

@JAYJAY1787 How amusing. On Linux 64-bit I can run 32-bit Windows Apps, but on Windows 64-bit you can't run 32-bit Linux apps? :P

I can't launch the setup file i marked as executable on desktop ( bitdefender ) and i can't seem to find the page to get the free home user code? PLEASE HELP ME ! Im still fairly new to linux and can't stand windows Mr. Spatry!

Spatry commented on 04 Jan 2012

@bigvirgotube Vineyard is a configuration utility for wine. It uses more processing power than other front ends but I did not notice performance issues since it just launches your Wind0ze executables and runs transparently in the background.

Dustin DeLong commented on 10 Sep 2012

If there is only one .bin or .run file, you can just 'chmod +x *.bin' or 'chmod +x *.run' then './*.bin' or './*.run'. Little simplier than typing the exact file name or copy/paste imo.

Spatry commented on 29 Jun 2013

Visit the WINEHQ website. Type in the exact name of the software you wish to run. You should be able to find information on the software and steps that were taken to get it working.

What about running Windows in a VM to run games etc.?

This really works? Uhmm... sounds awkward :D

Trojan Blazefyre commented on 21 Sep 2015

+DLComYou miss understood what I said.  You pass through your dedicated GPU to the Windows HVM, and use your integrated (or second GPU if you have one) for the host Xen Linux OS.

DLCom commented on 20 Sep 2015

+Trojan BlazefyreYes, "integrated cpu graphics". Thats not a real graphics card, thats just the little chip on the cpu the pc uses when it finds no graphics card. Its not able to run games as fast as a real gpu.

+Trojan BlazefyreIn a game? I don't think so. In desktop appications maybe. But most vms do not even use a graphics card and when they do, they are not able to use DirectX natively, so most Windows Games will run slow as heck.

+The Linux Tinker there was a comparison of Linux vs Windows gaming performance check. Why is there a dramatic drop in performance?

The Linux Tinker commented on 15 Dec 2015

+Clarence Washington IV Short answer is no. Developers aren't concentrated on Linux versions of their games and that is sad since steam OS could have been better than its current state.
