Why Linux Sucks
It is ugly out of the box
Linux has been largely used in the server scenario, yet there are many
deluded morons out there who think it can compete against both Windows
and Mac OS when it comes to desktop usage. If you have ever used
Linux, you know what I’m talking about: it is EXTREMELY ugly. Not to
mention the bad UX, I have had many crashes using both Ubuntu and
Fedora. Never tried Arch or Gentoo, I just don’t get why fucktards use
these distros, maybe they think they are 100% anonymous and their data
won’t be collected anymore, or they feel superior because they use a
different package manager and went through a command-line installation
(LMFAO).
2. Mistakenly claimed as “stable”
Debian is where Linux started, and where it should have ended. There
are many retards out there who claim that Debian 10 is the “GOD of
stability”. This is fucking hilarious, I have NEVER had any crashes
using Windows 10 on VirtualBox and NEVER had any BSODS or stuttering
on my Windows 10 workstation, however when I decided to deploy a
Debian 10 VM the GUI won’t simply appear. I tried again, and again and
again until it simply won’t work at all and I was just being fooled,
but that’s what Linux is all about – a fucking joke.
There will always be that guy who says they have an Amiga at home and
a Linux workstation and server, and left it turned on for years. If
you believe people who claim nonsensical bullshit like this, you
should really go see a shrink (one can easily fake the uptime of their
machine).
3. Lack of REAL software
Linux users just can’t have Visual Studio, Adobe products and other
private software that would be required for professional work because
companies won’t support it since they should focus in making cash, not
attending needs for edgy assholes, right?
Thus, Linux fucktards claim that some of these companies are secretly
paid by Microsoft not to deploy their software for Linux (not saying
this couldn’t be true, MS got them smart moves. LOL) Microsoft’s CEO
Satya Nadella is an open-minded guy, pretty much the opposite of Steve
Ballmer, and is embracing Linux – but that’s another smart move. They
have become platinum members of the Linux Foundation and are slowly
buying control of Linux by showing support to the open-source
initiative. “If you can’t beat your enemy, join them” describes The
Linux Foundation sucking Microsoft balls perfectly.
4. Controversies
I’m not even going to talk about the ego controversies between Linux
users when it comes to being superior by using an editor over another,
or even if it’s about distros. Linus Torvalds flipped his middle
finger and said “Fuck You” to NVIDIA, well I guess you know why…
NVIDIA doesn’t really like GNUtards sucking on their balls for decent
drivers, specially if they don’t know how to suck balls.
Richard Stallman is a fucking moron, the dude even said on a video
he’s never installed GNU/Linux (doesn’t mean he’s never used it
though). But the thing about him that I find disgusting is his
thoughts on pedophilia.
“From the perspective of someone who cares about technology,
Stallman’s views undermine the progress of free software, and will
cement its reputation in some quarters as a fringe sphere populated by
weirdos.” – extracted from TheNextWeb article “Free Software Icon
Richard Stallman has some moronic thoughts about pedophilia”.
On the other hand, Bill Gates, alongside his wife, is a brilliant
philanthropist nowadays, and has improved life on Earth in many senses
and has never been involved in such a shameful polemic and doesn’t
have disgusting thoughts. He emphasizes reading physical books as a
MUST for every single human being out there as he’s passionate about
reading and acknowledges we are life-time learners. His billion
dollars is nothing compared is humility – something that someone just
can’t have or buy, you are born and raised with it.
TL;DR
Linux users, fuck straight off.
I would like to thank both Tim Sweeney (despite hating Epic Games,
including all Fortnite community, and gaming in general) and Steve
Ballmer for their endless efforts on showing the world how cancerous
Linux can be and showing these communist delusional morons their lives
are extremely pathetic because they are retards who think using an OS
over another make them better than everybody else. Ballmer, however,
was hypocrite when he said “I may have called Linux a cancer but now I
love it”, it’s not because he doesn’t run Microsoft anymore and has
made a lot of cash out of it that he should say something stupid like
this – shame on you, pal.
Damn, the 90’s was a golden time. I remember back then when I was in
college and my professors told me Linux was going to take over the
world – I feel really bad for them now.

I finally reached the point, late in 2019 where I stopped fooling
myself, installed Windows 10 Professional and after a week or so Linux
no longer existed on any of my systems.
I realized how many lies I had told about Linux "just working" when

And I realized how much time I spent trying to make Linux function

no it hasn't.
android is not a full linux distro. it's the linux kernel, with android
built on top of it. all apps are written to android apis, not linux.
linux on the desktop currently has a very low single digit percentage
market share. that is not 'taking over the world'.
for servers and embedded devices, it's quite common, however.

I haven't used Linux junk and can't imagine ever using it. The
point is Windows does everything that I am interested in - Tax
software, Accounting Software, Adobe products, Corel products,
Visual Studio, SQL Server, COED, Office365, and others I don't care
to list them here!!. You use the platform that is ideal for the
task at hand. Some people use Linux servers for web pages and data
storage; I still use Microsoft servers and IIS.
Microsoft is trying to to create apps for Linux but it has a long way to go. They have released .net for Linux and c# and sql server for Linux but chances are Linux developers aren't inclined to capitalise on these free software from Microsoft so we are still talking of about 10 to 15 years before Linux takes off really seriously.
Mind you, Microsoft is pondering whether to give away Windows for free and to release the source code to the open source community but it has a long way to go. I suspect, Microsoft might just release its own Linux version so that it can package its own products into it.

I've never written a computer program, not even a short
BASIC two-liner than many six-year-olds can write, in my
entire worthless life. Heck, I can't even tell a bit from
a byte. Furthermore, I am not interested in learning
anything either, because I have my Netflix to watch.
But then I don't have to, because Microshit knows it all
and does it all for me. All I need to do is pay them
a monthly fee for the rest of my worthless life and
they'll do everything that I need to do -- which is
not much because I don't know anything anyway.

So basically the person I am replying to is a moron and is using the worn

It's as bad as the "Linux run super computers" deflection.
Let me know when you have a super computer in your basement as I would
love to take a look.
The best you Linux using idiots can manage is lame attempts at
deflection.
Why not just admit that Linux sucks and your sample of one running Debian
counts for nothing.
There are still people who believe the earth is flat.
Why not join them and start your own "Linux is great, desktop Linux that
is" organization.
Good luck with that.

most Windows users. Only a miniscule number of loons get worked up

Liar, liar, pants on fire. Come on Flatfish, even you know better than
that. Nobody with the Anglo-Saxon name "James" has English as his THIRD

Besides, you're giving yourself away again. Your writing style is just
as identifiable as that of Snit, albeit quite distinct from it. The
reoccurrence in your posts of that perceived percentage of desktop users
who run GNU/Linux is however a dead giveaway — no surprise, since it's
what you're obsessed with.
Just admit it, it's you and Snit just bugging the hell out of
non-advocacy GNU/Linux discussion groups again, as the two of you have
already been doing for the last twenty years. Every once in a while,
the urge to bully us comes over you, because you're both mentally ill.
Somehow and for some bizarre reason, you feel threatened by GNU/Linux
and so you cling onto the one thing you think would allow you to win a
debate, which is that stupid, archaic and completely unreliable
percentage of desktop users who have GNU/Linux on their computers.
You've been made out again — did you honestly still think people
wouldn't see through you after twenty fucking years of the same thing?
— so now piss off and go back to C.O.L.A., where you also don't belong,
but where your presence is at least somewhat justifiable and tolerated.
Here, in a serious and technical discussion group, it is not.

OS is a good product. There's no accounting for their depth of delusion and
stupidity. And there are still Wintrolls who are obsessed with Linux and
drool about it 24/7 in Linux newsgroups. Bitter and jealous, I guess. Poor,
pathetic creatures.

Nobody is threatened by Linux and pointing out how much Linux sucks isn't
a sign of any impending threat.
This is just another excuse the Linux kooks use to explain away the fact
that people outside the Linux groups admit that Linux sucks and aren't
afraid to discuss it.

Marek is alive and well, but he is no longer monitoring Usenet. He
has chosen to change the course of his life and stay as far away from
computers and the internet as possible, even though he does still have
to use them at work. He has different priorities now.
If you see anyone posting under his name, then it'll be an impostor.

"Linux," is /ONLY/ that kernel. Everything else in a Linux distro is
either GNU tools or software written elsewhere. "Linux," is not a
company nor a distro and makes no other software than the kernel.
GNU/Linux distros are what most are familiar with but Android is a
Linux distro just as much as is Debian or Red Hat. Different toolset
and software is all.

discussion with him. What happens is people use the term in different
ways. The desktop Linux distros are often just referred to as "Linux",
but of course each distro is a LOT more than just Linux, and Linux is
tied to a lot more than just the desktop (and actually does much better
in terms of market share in places outside of the desktop).

Speaking of not being in the top tier of intelligence, has it occurred
to you that only 47% of the world's population even has access to a
computer? How, then, can 90% use Windows on their non-existant
computers?

The funny part is he is using slrn which is a throwback to the 1970's

and a DEC VT100 terminal.
Every option, including colors, are controlled by a text configuration
file .slrnrc.
So if you want to change the color of the text for example you need to
edit the file and add something like CYAN to it, then save, restart
slrn, rinse and repeat 100 times until you find a combination you
like.
Also slrn needs a helper application like slrnpull or leafnode to read
offline. Otherwise it downloads one article at a time as you read
them.
Very slow, especially considering it's a cli application.
Linux worshipers wear slrn like some badge of intelligence because
they were able to configure and use it.
Doesn't matter that it's a God awful program still left in the 70's,
the complexity, especially when coupled with the editor vi or emacs
makes them feel superior.
It's one reason why Linux users are considered dysfunctional. There
are many more of course but we can leave that for another day.

How about you find a news reader with a working spell checker.
What's the matter, doesn't the nano editor automatically correct
spelling errors?
Last time I looked, it highlighted errors but didn't actually offer
suggestions for correction.
How useless is that?
Another Linux fail.

I have looked into running tin but never done it -- would not be hard
but would have to install brew which I have just never done. From what I
have seen it is completely safe to do so, though it might have to be
re-installed on OS updates.
And would be easy to do:

I've ran linux mint and MX linux for several years now non stop, as
fulltime desktop OSes. I have a single native Windows PC present on
the network; and it's about to be migrated to Linux too or possibly
retired after all these years. It might still make a suitable file
server, though.
I haven't had any real issues to speak of in the entire time I've
been using linux. KDE looks great to me - which is why I still have
Mint 17.3 <G> - I don't like the MX linux default GUI nearly as much,
but it's not a deal breaker either.

I don't know what this individuals hardware is, but, I've got linux
running here on quite a variety of stuff, made by a variety of
different manufacturers and both of the linux distro's have been
chugging along just fine. This is stuff from Dell, tyan, gigabyte,
asus, nvidia, ati, Amd, and Intel. I've got quite a mix of desktop
(towers) and laptops here.
No issues to report with any of them. Everything works as expected.
Nvidia drivers are loaded and working; despite being proprietary.
I'm not a gamer though, unless you count retro gaming and/or
emulation; so linux meets my entertainment needs as well. If you're
into the latest online games on a PC though, linux probably isn't for
you.
I have a background as a technician too, so that didn't make the
linux process harder for me. That being said, with the modern
distro's, I don't think you need to be a tech to get them installed
and loaded. If you can put windows 10 on a box, you shouldn't have
trouble with a modern linux distro.

Okay. So, if you're using a modern car that's all touch screen, it's
probably got linux under the hood. As well as your router and other
networking gear. Feel free to junk that linux powered trash and go
back to the stuff you used previously. Don't worry about
vulnerabilities, etc. The manufacturers will eventually get around to
making firmware modifications to their proprietary non linux stuff to
get you 'secure' again.

when people say linux, they mean the full install, not just the kernel,
which is useless without anything else.
android uses a stripped down linux kernel since quite a bit of it is
not relevant for a mobile device or android itself.

android is in no way a linux distro like redhat etc.
note that android is listed separately in the link above, not lumped

no, it simply means it's something other than android, ios, macos,
windows or linux.
they don't have a category for chrome os, so it might include that, or
that might be lumped in with linux.
it could also be a custom build of the usual suspects that didn't

there are much better amps, and ones that last a lot longer too.
the so called 'warmth' from tube/valve amps is distortion.
those who want that type of distortion can add it back if they prefer,
but it's incorrect to claim the presence of distortion is better.

don't. after all you're using it.
Agent is stuck in the 90s with no unicode support, and a developer who
seems to have quit 6 years ago after 14+ years of failing to implement
any sort of unicode support. whereas SLRN is still being maintained,
Anyway back to your other mistakes above.
DEC VT100 terminal doesn't do CYAN, that would be a VT200. but I'm not
using that either.
