You cannot be serious?

Perhaps, you speak straight English without identifying yourself as somebody suffering from a mental disorder?

You positively do NOT live on the same planet as Moi.

You may now point out what you think is wrong with his post
Be specific.

The planet is the same. Just the species are different. He seems to be
human. You certainly are not. You belong to the "brainless Snits"

GodHesIgnorant,

How do you think you can read and write files from your devices (hard
drive, SSD, USB, CD, DVD, camera, etc)?

Every time the system boots or a device is plugged in, Linux mounts the
filesystems on those devices and allows access to them. Windows does
the same, but the term 'mount' is rarely seen or used in the Windows world.

Usually, you just dbl-click the .iso file and it's automatically mounted
(in Linux it will be assigned a mount point, and in Windows it will be
assigned the next available drive letter).

http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/mount.8.html
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/mount.2.html
http://code.metager.de/source/xref/busybox/util-linux/mount.c

Get it together. There's a quiz later.

The article is incomplete. A lot of disk images are in UDF format.

GNU/Linux, however, can mount any and all of them.

Furthermore, this capability has been present in GNU/Linux
for a LONG time -- at least TWENTY FUCKING YEARS.

Microshit Winblows, in stark contrast, has always LACKED a native
capability for mounting ISO via a loopback device. Only very recently
have they included such capability.

Microshit is for crippled losers.

GNU/Linux powers those who are light years ahead.

That's not what this post is about, you dumb-fuck idiot.

This post is about mounting an ISO image using a loopback device,
i.e. /dev/loop0, /dev/loop1, etc.

GNU/Linux has ALWAYS had this capability.

Microshit Winblows has always natively LACKED it, until VERY recently.

Until Win7 (2009) or Win8 (2012).

Prior to then, there were various 3rd party apps (pay or free) you could
use to mount .iso files in Windows.

Were you hindered from making a living with Windows in ANY way? Of
course not.

boo hoo you little pissant

You certainly do not want to live in the same neighborhood as either
of those two.
