If his rants were so outragous and he had the sense to present some logical arguments then I might consider this academic.

You're right, he's bitching. Unfortunatly he can't present anything worth reading while he's on his period.

The common desktop user is technologically ignorant, incredibally cocky, and an all around dick when he thinks he's unidentifiable. So you've heard of linux. So you're on a "tech blog." That doesn't make you any less of a dick. It does make you like 95% of the people on the internet. Congradulations!!! You're the 100,000,000th asshole to connect to an ISP. You've won a free lesson on how to be a troll. Google "internet Troll" to claim your prize.

*Sigh* and i'm just as bad for playing your little game. Peace.

"If you think the "common desktop user" spends ANY time WHATSOEVER reading tech blogs, you're the dumbest shitcock on the internet"

Tech blog? It's just some guy bitching.

:He started this blog because he does embedded systems development using Linux (IIRC), knows a lot about the subject, but has come to the sad conclusion that Linux is a way over-hyped, developer wank fest."

Cool. I was right on the wasting his life then bitching about it part. I definitly called it right there.

"Personally, I'm one of the WorksForMe(tm) brigade who happily uses Ubuntu to get their work done. I advocate that everyone should use whatever software they fucking well want to."

Neat, you're not retarded. Here's a cookie.

"Feel free to correct me, of course."

You're right, though one might argue that 99% of the population has never heard the word linux and that this blog is the only media attention linux gets by the common desktop user.

I'm neither claiming Gentoo is amazing nor boring. I just thought I'd include a paragraph for potential trolls to have a bite at. Oh look, I caught one!

Seriously though, I was just giving people an idea of what I use it for. I don't know if it's better / worse than xp, but it's fine for me.

It's just an OS. I don't get how you people can have personal attachments to an operating system. They're just tools. You don't go around doing Phillips vs. Hex, do you?

Read a couple of posts. This blog is pretty funny, but I think we should just leave it at that. This blog really shouldn't be taken serioujsly. The author's complaints are no more based on fact than the idiotic linux users he attacks. I think we all need to take a step back and remember that an OS is just a tool. If you can afford windows and it does what you need it to do, great! If you have dozens and dozens of hours on your hands, too lazy to pirate windows, and want a free OS at the cost of your time, then use GNU.

I've seen a lot of verbal abuse on Ubuntu. What the author doesn't realize is that Ubuntu is the first distro that all the Windows idiots who are sick of spyware/malware/porn viruses go. Why? Because it's the easiest to install and the easiest transition from Windows. So What? Well that just means that Ubuntu is a leech for all the Windows retards who were stupid enough to let their system get infected in the first place. Let's stop picking on the dumb and ignorant here, shall we?

Though funny, I really wonder why a blog like this exists at all. Nobody is forced him to use linux. So the author wasted a few years of his life on GNU and now he's crying? Sounds like a "freetard" to me.

Anyways, as I've already stated, an OS is a tool. I use Gentoo for my daily needs (internet, email, multimedia, word proccessing, IM, IRC, subtitle editing, translation, and much more). I have an amazing uptime and I rarely run into problems. Learning linux took me several years, but now I've build such a stable OS that it requires no maintenance. Would I recommend it for an average user? God, no! Just stick with Windows. It's not all that bad. Linux for me is more of a learning experience.

That being said, I also dual boot into Windows primarily for gaming. Like I said, an OS is a tool. If it fits your needs, then use it. If it's doesn't, then don't. If you want to bitch about a bunch of people who develop software for free, then you're a kind of a tool yourself. If you want to bitch about the dumb people who use that software, then my IM is monostri. Give me a holla'.

P.S. If you decide to be a fanboy for one OS over another, what you don't is that Linux and Windows are in two completely different classes and are, in some respects, uncomparable.

I forgot about half of what I just wrote, so I should probably stop ranting now. Peace.
