I use Firefox and Thunderbird in linux and want to add a shortcut to the taskbar at the top of my screen. The thing is I dont have the relevant icons in the list of icons and when I browse for the icons I cant find them. I dont know where to look. If it was windows id just go to programs files, but linux being linux it isnt that simple. Where might I find the Firefox and Thunderbird icons? Im losing patience! WPA2 ive given up on (the step by step instructions wreck my os and requires a reinstall) , Networking with windows is a confusing ordeal, finding icons, bittorrent wont work, firefox insists on opening a second instance when I click on a link, my webserver always tells me im entering the wrong password!, my sound card works intermittently, when I click on terminal it crashes X, my phone wont be recognised so I cant download pictures, upload music or install software. Its no quicker than windows 2000 and it certainly crashes more often! even when I pull the speaker jack from the soundcard! Linux blows better than windows!
I'm using Ubuntu 7.04 for some time now. I only like it because you won't get bothered with malware. It also runs programs like Adobe Reader and Frostwire much faster than on Windows. But you'll need to do much more troubleshooting with Linux. In this case you can see the difference between free and paid Operating Systems. Linux is free (in most cases), so you don't need to pay for it. Windows and Mac OS are paid Operating Systems. You'll have to pay for it, but you get support from the company that has created it. Linux is stable on hardware that is fully supported, but if it is installed on unsupported hardware, it might crash even more than Windows 98.
