I get following error message in my Ubuntu desktop with Chromium and Firefox:"Sorry Guest, you are banned from using this forum!This ban is not set to expire."GTA works fine on my Android mobile and Windows laptop in the same wifi. Are you banning Ubuntu users or what's the problem?

Linux sure has been catching on big time in the last several years. With a Linux operating system the old cluttered up hard drive infested with all worms etc. seems to be a thing of the past. I think all Windows OS's are designed to eventually self destruct(they gotta make the bucks on the latest greatest OS), especially with all the hackers working on them all the time. The movie industry uses a lot of linux these days because of the fact of better security.Opensource is the way to go IMO and it won't be long before I order me a nice solid state hard drive for Linux only.

The movie industry uses a lot of linux these days because of the fact of better security.Opensource is the way to go IMO and it won't be long before I order me a nice solid state hard drive for Linux only.My mini tower desk top computer currently has two hard drives that were made for lap tops, one hard drive has Linux Ubuntu loaded and the other has Win7 loaded......For a while I was using a single "desk top" hard drive that was dual boot with both Linux and Windows, however whenever the Windows partition needed a "re-format and reload" (for whatever reason) I ended up needing to "start all over" by loading Windows and then loading Linux to share the HD. The "normal size" hard drive was also a rather tight fit in my small desk top case which made it a hassle to make connections around the CPU cooler so I opted for the small lap top hard drives.The reason I even have a Windows operating system on one drive is because my Chairgun, certain CAD, GARMIN, updating of my GARMIN GPS maps, and my flight simulation software (they aren't supported on Linux). I use the outdated copy of Win7 for these applications however I seldom use Windows to "go online" due to "virus issues" I occasionally got even with virus protection running. The Win7 HD never gets updated and it doesn't even get connected to the internet when using it.Anywhoo..........if the Windows HD gets corrupted (hasn't happened in several years since the internet isn't accessed) it's simply a matter of reformatting the Windows HD and reloading Win from the installation disk and all my important stuff on the Linux drive isn't affected.There is an application that's very useful for my manipulating images on "airgun forum posts" and it's called GIMPhttps://www.gimp.org/Origionally developed by Linux it's also available in the Windows format.Here is a pic that was downloaded and cropped with GIMP before for uploading into my photo hosting program.........Before cropping with GIMP..........After cropping.........There are quite a few applications that are used for image manipulation but GIMP is a free open source downlaod that can be used with either Linux and Windows.
