Vote! Kubuntu for me. I decided to change since I was fed up with all the Microsoft shit. For the first months I had a partition for Kubuntu and one for Windows XP, but after a while I completely formatted the Windows partition. I have been a happy guy since then. What about you?

Ugh you gone and done it. You do know that 'mac' is hardware no a OS. If you mean the OS which is found on a mac it is OS X.

Mac = Hardware
OS X = Operative System

I knew you would do that when i clicked on the topic.

Sorry, I fixed that. I never had a Mac so I don't know anything about it; sorry again but there was no need to be so harsh.

I voted Mac OS X. My favorite setup is a 24'' iMac with an attached 22'' monitor. I know that most people think that OS X is for n00bs and such, but I actually find that it's the easiest OS to customize and create some really tight workflows. It's keyboard shortcuts are also second to none.

Before anyone brings it up by the way, my Mac runs Crysis ;P

That being said, I do also own an old HP TC1100 Tablet PC. The little guy's got an ancient Pentium M processor on it, and only 512 ram, but I still went out of my way to install Windows Vista on it. People give Vista way too much crap.

The tablet's also dual booted with Ubuntu on there running the new Netbook Remix packages. It's nice having linux on there for when I quickly just need something done.

So... Maybe there should have been an all of the above box XD? For me, operating systems are just a means to get things done. I don't have to be on a specific system to be able to use it, and they all have their strengths and weaknesses.

Mac OS X. I don't really have a problem with Windows XP/Vista. In fact, I like Vista. I just prefer Mac OS X. I'm building a new Hackintosh with 10.5.5 to replace the old PIII XP torrent/usenet box.

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.

    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
