The more I see of the oddballs in COLA and the way they behave the more
I realize that the Prescott Parasite was right about most of them.
And while I don't condone his massive sock puppet invasion, at least
some of his analysis of Linux and Linux advocates is spot on.
It's no wonder they fear him depsite his mental illness which I do hope
he is being treated for during his abscence from COLA.

And before the COLA Cabal gets their undies in a knot, no, I'm not
supporting the Prescott Parasite. I'm just saying that objectively
speaking, he has many of you and your behavior nailed.

[Deplorable Silver Slimer]

Let's be fair:

Snit is an idiot and this newsgroup can only be better if he's not around.

However, he was right in pointing out that there's a Linux herd here,
that Peter the Klöwn is constantly incorrect about whatever he says and
that the "advocates" fear talking about technology. I don't blame them
though; Linux is so far behind in terms of technology that talking to
its users about such a topic would be like an English speaker
communicating with someone who only speaks Aramaic.

Hm, in what ways is Linux behind technology?
I thought that Windows heavily lags behind, so OSX as well.
eg zswap is only recently added to Windows 10...
also Windows support for huge pages is flaky:

When even ACPI isn't properly done, you know that you have a problem.
Linux "advocates" are always happy to mention the fact that USB3 was
first supported by Linux but it's pointless if other implementations,
like sleep and wake, don't work properly even two decades after they
first appeared on computers.

I'll be the first to say that I love transparency in software and would
advocate that forever. Hell, I'm still strongly in favour of government
institutions and schools using open-source _exclusively_. However, I
know that the resistance by government to do such a thing has a lot to
do with how inconsistent open-source projects routinely are and how
flaky the hardware support was. In fact, I asked one of the main techs
at my school board why Linux hasn't been implemented across the board
and he mentioned that they tried it but that it ended up being a
complete nightmare because problems arose on an almost daily basis.

Cue insults by hypochrisv and Cunt Ahlstrom, Peter the Klöwn calling me
and the techs dimbulbs and the eventual +1 by Humpty Dumpty Wideload
Porkster.

It's not a problem of Linux, usually. Non standard BIOS'es and their bugs...

Sleep and wake are notoriously difficult features to implement, depending on
lot of factors. eg flaky GPU driver can cause all sort of problems.

I hardly believe so. Students and scientists are ones mainly writing open
source projects. Lot of research projects have first class support on Linux
but only second hand on Windows. Perhaps, thing is that there are not many
Linux sys admins out there, but problems? My father and mother are 77 and 68
and they don't have any problems with Linux. Only time I have to do
something is to perform update once in 3 months...

Thing is that techs are not well educated to use and maintain anything else
but Windows, so using Linux has problems on daily basis...

It worked right for sleep/wake on this MSI, but not for shutdown (not
every time anyway). It didn't work at all on my older Sony unless I
added a line to GRUB. I could get it working, but these workarounds
would confuse a regular, undetermined user.

Yeah, I can imagine. Windows had problems implementing it properly when
XP came out and it was much worse before XP's release. However, that was
back in 2001 and since then sleep/wake work wonderfully on every system
Windows is installed on. Why can't Linux get it right in 2016?

Considering how many problems my mom has with OS X, I can't imagine
trying to get her to use Linux. Mind you, that was the first OS they
ever used (Lindows) and it didn't work very well for them at all.

These techs knew what they needed to know about Linux, it just didn't
cooperate with them.

Liar. Linux kicks ass, on both WinDOS and OSX, in many technical
areas.

Yeah, that's "fair". Pick a single issue, where OEM support
(pre-installs) is a huge factor in getting issues resolved, and use
that to imply that Linux is "far behind in terms of technology".

Lying sack of shit.

Only one of many examples where Linux leads, technically.

We can't cut Linux any slack, just because Windows gets 100x the
industry support, man! We must attack the FOSS community for not
doing what they should be doing. Or maybe everyone should just
throw-up their hands and use Windows, since it's "the standard". Life
is so much easier when you're part of the herd, you know.

Unfortunately, insults have little effect on a shameless liar like
"Slimer".

Yep. People just accept Window's foibles, they are so used to dealing
with them...

ACPI is less of a problem with Linux than it used to be. My last 3
laptops, all Lenovo, have been fine. I realize other brands are not so
Linux friendly and yes, it /is/ a Linux problem because when it works
with Windows and does not work with Linux that is the conclusion the
user will reach.

Institutions typically purchase from large companies like IBM, Dell, HP
and they get servers that are Linux certified and fully supported. My
suspician is that a lot of the back end really is running Linux but
people don't realize it. I have a number of real geek, tech type friends
and they are telling me that Apple is making big gains at the user level
however Apple has been lagging technology wise and needs to up the game
quickly or the momentum is going to slow down. One reason for the Apple
upturn is people are beginning to learn about Miscrosoft's automatic
forced updates and telemetry of user data and such.

If they're so happy with Windows why are they in here? They just
can't escape the reality which is that they are here in a Linux group,
trolling. Everything you see and respond to is merely there bullshit
justification for being in here. It's all bullshit. The real reason
they're in here is that they are sad losers. They know it and we know
it.

I will be the first to admit that it seems to be getting better but it
has done so very slowly. I would have liked to see this problem as a
priority for Linux developers.

A lot of people think that Microsoft's forced updates are going to
convince people to go to Linux but so far, it hasn't been the case at
all and the update system has been seamless. Before they are deployed at
the enterprise, they are tested like crazy and since they don't really
bother the user, they haven't been much of an issue at all. Compare this
to the nightmare most Linux users face when they first install the
operating system and ask yourself whether people will truly be tempted
to move in that direction especially when they don't actually have the
patience to find ways to fix their problems.

Because Linux has robbed us of our precious time in some cases and our
dignity in others. As a result, we feel the need to prevent others from
venturing onto the same road and making the mistake of giving the
operating system a chance.

Seriously though, we all came here with an interest in Linux. Along the
way, we met decent people who we want to keep communicating with like
Greycloud or DFS. Kind, wonderful, well-spoken people.

Nope. You trolls are the ones who think that. We use Linux simply
because we like UNIX/Linux. It is you and other trolls who constantly
pit Windows against Linux and talk about how our share can improve if we
only did x or y. None of us give a damn what you use.

Linux certainly won't appeal to everyone. From my experience, Linux is a
great alternative for two very different types of people.

1. The person who has basic needs, doesn't upgrade hardware often and
just wants to do the typical surfing, email, basic multimedia, photos
and things like that.
Think grandma, mom and dad communicating with the kids and so forth.
Linux really is a set it and forget it system and the added security is
great for folks who have no idea how dangerous the web can be.

2. The tinkerer who wants to learn about computers, software and wants
to have complete control over every aspect of the operating system and
it's associated programs and doesn't have a problem modifying the system
and recovering when he screws up. That last one is for me :)

Yes.
And all of us were met with suspicious, paranoid, and in some cases
nasty people who attacked or at least made accusations as to who they
thought we were, from the very first post.

Eventually though, the Linux Cabal finds some minor post of ours that
they disagree with and the massive mob attack based upon pure
speculation and zero facts begins.

And finally, when we defend ourselves, the Linux Cabal claims victory as
in "see, they were trolls all along".

There is something in the water in this group and it's making people not
right in the head.

Coding yet another text editor seems to be tops on the Linux developers
lists.

The enterprise level can turn them off via group policy edits.
I agree that Linux isn't seeing any great uptake in use because
Microsoft is going off the rails.
Apple is though.
At least that is what I am seeing and hearing. I see more Macbooks in
the wild then I have ever seen.

[Jim Polaski]

Right.
They never will though.
They claim -99999 / plonk and then continue to talk about us.
It just demonstrates the dishonesty of the Linux advocates.
It also demonstrates how they are unable to debate our points so they

Not only are people not moving to Linux - why would they? - Windows has
dominated the best seller and most wished for software lists on
Amazon.com for years.


Right now, in the Top 10:

Win10 holds positions 1,4 and 10:

If being free hasn't caused Linux to gain traction it's doubtful there
is anything the Linux community or Linux can do in order to convince
people to use Linux.

Over it's lifetime Linux has had many opportunities to capitalize on
Microsoft's mistakes and it has been unable to.

Anyone remember Microsoft WinME?
Bob?
Windows 8?
etc.

The truth is people would rather pay for Windows or OSX/Apple then use
free Linux.

Linux is excellent for that. In fact, it's the default system I install
for people whose needs are minimal or who want to give a second life to
old hardware.

I don't mind doing that to an extent but I hate being in a situation
where I was sure I had configured everything and that everything worked
properly only to have my work undone because of an update.

Because people are buying into the Apple hype. Mind you, they're very
consistent with their products and I can't help but feel that they
deserve their success. Their music store is the only one which still

You should see some of the gripes about Xcode 8 lately.
It's a mess right now, and the developers are trying to get back to XCode 7.
If Apple would only test this stuff before releasing it. All it does is make it
harder for the developers to come out with their product if not putting them
behind schedule.

[Silver Slimer]

Using Linux has already started to rot his brain.

[Jim Polaski]

That is true.
Apple really screwed up bad with El Capitan from what I have heard. Many
people had compatibility problems with software applications and it took
Apple months to straighten things out.

I'm a bit removed from the Apple world, but from where I sit the company
has not been the same since Jobs died.

[GreyCloud]

I bet Jobs would've screamed at his dummy engineers about now over El Capitan.
Just like he did over the first iPhone when he asked if the phone is supposed to
do this... and then he screamed "Why the hell doesn't it work then?"
He damn near fired the guy.

[Silver Slimer]

Back then it was nice to see a company doing something different so
Apple gained lots of points for not being another beige machine with an
OS. However, being different doesn't amount for much anymore if the
inner product is complete crap. They offer a nice OS for anyone who
wants to get the job done but it is incredibly limiting in terms of
performance as a result of Apple's inability to optimize _anything_ .

[Silver Slimer]

His "I like Forte Agent" excuse is a poor one. Even if you're used to
it, you won't prevent yourself from using a native application in your
OS of choice as an extension to the resistance you might have to
learning a new program. The reality is that chrisv is exactly the kind
