Even Linus Torvalds finally admits desktop Linux sucks.
Most users have known this for years but the high priests in the Linux
community refuse to admit the obvious.
Linux is great as a server operating system.
Linux is great as an embedded devices operating system.
Linux sucks as a desktop system.
Reed it and let the excuses begin.

- that is an old speech 2014
- using as a single example which LT mentioned, his Subsurface divelog
app below
- yes it is problematic for app dev/s but there are routes

In article <ifstmc...@mid.individual.net>, Mi...@ster.invalid
says...
Ayep.
Another failed trolling attempt by that idiot from Prescott
Arizona.
Look at the organization field in the OP header.
"Organization: Southern Nevada Institute of Technology"
He tried running this same troll in comp.os.linux.advocacy and got
ignored so he's trying other groups with his flame bait.

He's entitled to his opinion. I don't agree.

There's no evidence that the 'entity' posting via aioe is the same as
the Snit persona.

Anyone can put anything they like in the From and Organization lines.
The lines that the poster is generally too lazy to 'forge' are the
User-Agent and the M-ID XNews is configured to create. We see crap from
those 3 characteristics, aioe, xnews, xnews m-id all the time. Not
Snit's 'handwriting' IMO.

Since aioe doesn't require reg, when you post from there you too are
also just another unreg'd aioe entity.

It isn't Snit; it's Flatfish. He's about just as bad, but it's a
different character, and he has been trolling GNU/Linux newsgroups for
about twenty years now.

Flatfish ALWAYS uses aioe.org for posting.

Sandman trolls ronb. Here is a list of names Jonas Eklundh has admitted
he attributes to ronb "Cactus Pete", "Donald", "Donald Miller", "Horace
McSwain", "Hymen", "meat", "Mike Weaver", "Modena IV Drid", "Omar Murad
Asfour", "Rhino Plastee", "Soapy", "SopwithCamel", "Sunny Day", "Takuya
Saitoh", "The Letter Q", "tmelmosfire", "zevon". Most of those are names
of his buddy Steven Petruzzellis. ClamXav's update system failed over
and over again. You used it and read multiple reviews and your "extensive
experience" lead you to that opinion, and...

Dustin Cook the functionally illiterate fraud expects people to believe
that a poster such as Commander Kinsey who he has again alleged to be a
deceiver is someone to 'trust'? How can he think people are that stupid?
Dustin Cook the functionally illiterate fraud calls it "obsessing" over
him, even though he continues to set in motion that selfsame standard.
I would post to Dustin Cook the functionally illiterate fraud honestly
but he is an imbecile who plays trolling games to implement his yearning
to call everyone a troll. Nobody gets it, only Commander Kinsey gets it.
No more!

Now that nobody is replying to Slimer, he's making it sound like he's outsmarted

Where did you learn to program?

My first statement stands literal and correct. People who can grok my posts
knows it's not written in the way Shadow is suggesting, and many of them

Nobody who isn't just using you for trolling aim sees you as anything
remotely close to honorable. You have nobody but yourself to point to
for that.

It was Bob 'Super Troll' Campbell who was openly asking how better to
hide his forgeries. I thought showing him a little generosity might help
the situation. It did not.

J. J. Lodder has an abundance of know-how to teach and he has been persuaded
to answer questions. Of course this is perhaps the least appropriate
locale for doing that because most of response is moaning, double-crossing,
and other hogwash.
Fretwizzer and Frelwizzen are both Bob 'Super Troll' Campbell. This
has been proved time and time again. He claims it is a "forger" or a
"hacker", but:

* The "forger" is psychic and knows when Bob 'Super Troll' Campbell
is going to start and stop posting.
<http://tmp.gallopinginsanity.com/carroll-forger>
<http://tmp.gallopinginsanity.com/carroll-forger2>
<http://tmp.gallopinginsanity.com/carroll-forger3>
<http://tmp.gallopinginsanity.com/carroll-forger4>
This pattern repeats itself over and over... those are just some examples.

* Bob 'Super Troll' Campbell twists and lies to say it is merely a sign
of a "forger" posting at about the same time. Why lie if he is not hiding
something?

* Bob 'Super Troll' Campbell has (at least apparently) done the same
nonsense before with socks: <http://tmp.gallopinginsanity.com/stevedward>.

* Bob 'Super Troll' Campbell repeatedly blamed Snit for forging him
but has also admitted he lied and "doubts" it is him doing so.

* Bob 'Super Troll' Campbell has used multiple accounts to accuse people
of forging him.

* Bob 'Super Troll' Campbell clearly has been watching what IPs the
"forger" is using and listed them.

* Bob 'Super Troll' Campbell pointed to <https://www.torproject.org>
which makes it trivial to use multiple IP addresses with their Tor Browser.

* Bob 'Super Troll' Campbell lies about being able to use that software,
claiming he has "no idea how this can be done".

* Bob 'Super Troll' Campbell himself pointed out that even his "normal"
email address has been posted through proxies, just like his "forger"
has been doing, but he says this is because Google or his ISP somehow
forces this.

* Bob 'Super Troll' Campbell claimed he thought using the Tor Browser
would make Google Groups look completely different. Absurd. Why tell
such a lie if he is not trying to obfuscate the issue?

this is unfortunately some of the worst advice you could give a new
linux user/programmer. Reccomending gnome3 and gtk3. "electron apps",
and javascript. """snaps"""". This looks more like a list of everything
wrong with Linux, or just a advertising site for IBM and canonical.
