Why would i code on linux?
Why would i want to code on linux? Is there something special? I have always been wondering about that, and recently i hear people are doing that so i am just wondering why.
Why would i code on linux?
Because you can. Because Linux is free, and Windows isn't. Because you're bored, or because you want your apps used within a commercial server environment.
umm.... I would rather code for windows.
BECAUSE LINUX IS LINUX.
Why wouldn't you? I mean I don't cuz I want to target bill gate's lovers. But I DO carry a linux operating system (on my thumbdrive) with me everywhere I go.

wow, on a thumbdrive? Please show, lol. Also, would i be able to code with c++?

It's ubuntu, which is easily installed onto thumbdrives.
Although not exactly linux, it's a linux derived operating system, which was what linux was made for.
lol, sorry i didn't mean physically show me, i meant like show me how. One question though, How is it ran on your computer because shouldn't it boot on that OS not the OS you have your flash drive plugged in to?

thanks a bunch
Not a problem...
Google ubuntu on USB drive... Somewhere you should find a tutorial
Although I believe there is an ubuntu version specifically FOR USB drives.
It's really nice when people are all like "Oemgee I just has a major viruseess"
I get to call them an idiot politely, whip out my keychain and lend them an operating system LOL.

Windows can be run from a USB flash drive - in fact, I'm running one now !
Well, freedompeace, i asked because i wanted to see if there were any extra benefits, but there isn't so i don't want to make a whole transition.
Alright legit answer time.
Because you believe in the freeware movement. Linux is free and open source meaning you can look at it's source code. You can improve ANY Linux distro you see fit, and help EVERYBODY that use ANY form of Linux. Linux is alive because of the goodwill of the people who takes their time to code free programs for Linux. There is no benefit to coding on Linux (other than the fact it is smaller than windows, and in some cases faster), there is less options for compilers and IDE's on Linux. There is no positive, but there is no negative. Just different API's, and no selling your work.
