Giving up on linux

(1/5) > >>

I am thinking of giving up on linux completely and sticking to windows. I am no computer n00b but linux has given me endless trouble.

I've seen a ton of open source P2P apps for linux but nearly all of them require wxwindows. I install wxwindows but when I try to run one of these P2P apps I get an error about libwx_gtk-2.4.so not being found

I've had to install linux 3 times in one day because the NVIDIA driver wouldn't work and fucked up my system. I may have found a solution to this problem but I am fucking pissed off.

When I click on the mozilla shortcut I get a message saying I cant open mozilla more than once (not really fucking pissing me off, more of an annoyance)

If I can fix then NVIDIA problem tomorrow then I will probably use linux more but if this fails I will not use it for a very long time.

emh:
Which distro are you using?

mushrooomprince:
"Linux" is pretty vague when your refering to your operating system.  Redhat SuSE Lindows ?

c'mon man which is it ?

TheKnifeThrower:
Mandrake 9.1 is what I have. The driver worked before but it was an erlier version. I've forgotten the version so can someone tell me which version works with mandrake 9.1

flap:
What is the nvidia problem? what happens? The distro you're using is irrelevant if you get the source rpm for the drivers. and you should definitely never need to reinstall the system because a graphics card driver installation goes wrong.

are you already running mozilla when you click on the mozilla link?
