  1.  @carlosdelucia3487  have you tried DMT?

  2.  @NoorMohammed-me9lg  not triggered at all. I've been running Linux for over 25 years now so I've seen your type countless times before. We both know it never would have worked out. You just do not have what it takes to run Linux. So go run Windows, pointing and clicking on I Accept buttons. It's all you can do. Bend over and accept! On your knees, it is time to accept! Accept it! That's your lot in life. To accept what others do to you. Come here and give me some of that good accept sugar. Oh yeah! I bet you don't even read those things, do you? I've read the Windows 10 EULA. There's no fucking way I'd ever accept those terms! But you do. You bitch.

  3.  @ladrillorojo4996  I'm not trying to make anyone do anything. Regardless of what anyone does Linux is still far superior to Windows on technical merits. No one has to tell me how complex modern operating systems are. There's nothing easy about any of it. Proprietary systems simply hide stuff from their end users and snow them into thinking things are simple. But when you run up against a dead end wall you're done. You're not going to stack trace a program to see what's going wrong. Or recompile it with debugging symbols on. But on Linux you can if you're of a mind to. If you really want something to work. You can get it to work. You don't have that option with closed source software. You're not going to apply a patch and rebuild it. You're never going to figure out what's going wrong. You're going to sit there like an idiot and hope they fix it in the next patch. Maybe buy a new version hoping they fix it then. Oh please Mr. Software magician fix my problems for me! It's better to become a wizard yourself. As opposed to being a digital serf.

  4.  @PhysicsViolator  Linux does not pop up worthless error boxes. Linux uses log files. They're in /var/log. Then if you're really interested in what is going on you run strace on software. Or a debugger, or something. Linux is what I like to call, a real OS. That means it has all of the utilities, tools and services one expects from big boy software.

  5.  @eyesight2073  config files either go into ~/.config or /etc Although there are some programs that break that. In any event you can log where every file goes on installation if it really matters to you. Package managers will tell you where every file they install went too. pfred1@five:~$ dpkg -L bash Every file that was installed when my shell was installed.

  6. Businesses like to have someone accountable. Although I am not sure what that does for them in a practical sense. I suppose it makes them feel better knowing they can curse at someone for their problems other than themselves?

  10. I started running Linux in 1995. I'm hoping to get the hang of it myself someday too. So far it's been fun.

  12. What does too much command prompt stuff mean?

  14.  @ladrillorojo4996  running Linux absolutely makes me a better person. Might not make you a better person, but it works here. There is such a thing as a qualified opinion too. Which is what someone has when they're an expert. With 25 years of experience my opinion has some weight behind it. Regardless of whether you want to acknowledge it. The best part of being where I am is that I do not need the approval of people like you.

  15.  @ladrillorojo4996  it is positive because you can. You are not going to suggest that Windows is somehow perfect, are you? If Windows never failed you then you must not be trying to do very much with it. Now if you feel that learning things is a waste of your precious time then I really cannot have an intelligent conversation with you. Good day.

  16.  @ladrillorojo4996  epistemology is a complex field. I will say those that go through life wearing blinders are not going to know very much though. Specialization is for insects too. You should ponder what true intelligence is. A library may contain every fact known about medicine but it is not really smart. A person that can combine disparate information to synthesize a valuable novel idea is smart though. All learning ends up good for the mind.

  17.  @ladrillorojo4996  lazy folks cannot expect very much in this world. If you are comfortable in a gilded cage there are people today that will be happy to keep you in one. The blood they suck out of you you'll never know either. Because they're good. Well sometimes you might notice a little pinch.

  18.  @ladrillorojo4996  we all start out not knowing. Some end up not knowing too. I aim to be in the group that does know.

  19.  @awogbob  of course using Linux makes you a better person. That goes without saying. The more agency you have in life the better you are. A free person is better than a slave. A hero is better than a coward. The bold are better than the meek. The king is better than the serf. The open source user is better than the one that runs proprietary software too. Freedom!

  20.  @ladrillorojo4996  what comes around goes around. And people running proprietary operating systems has a fallout associated with it. Resources are being wasted working on that stuff. Resources we'd be better off if they were used on open source. I hear Windows XP is open source now. We're taking over!

  21.  @ladrillorojo4996  you do know that Microsoft closed their quality control department, don't you? Now they just let users find the bugs. I've been running Linux for 25 years now so I know how much fixing is involved. If I am not changing anything then there really isn't any. Sure I can make work for myself if I want to. But that's different. That's my choice. My best system uptime record is 524 days. No fixing anything. No rebooting, just the system running. So don't give me this debugging line of crap. That's simply not reality.

  22.  @ladrillorojo4996  camera support could be better in Linux.

  23.  @ladrillorojo4996  I'd rather get supported hardware.

  25.  @ladrillorojo4996  if it is a digital camera how old can it be? Digital cameras have not been consumer products for that long. 25 years? Something like that. Most folks didn't run out on day one to get themselves a camera either. Widespread adoption didn't begin for another 5 years. So more like less than 20 years for most folks. I don't think I got my first digital camera until about 1999?

  26.  @ladrillorojo4996  webcams have been round for less time than digital cameras.

  29. Chromebooks run Linux. What do you think Chrome OS is? From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrome_OS "Chrome OS is a Linux kernel-based operating system designed by Google." D'oh! Psst Android is Linux too! You're proof that running Mac is detrimental to mental heath.

  30.  @PingWine  because without Linux I would not have a digital existence. I don't do Windows. I certainly would not run a Mac either. So for me it is Linux or nothing at all. Not unless I could code my own OS. Which is a lot of work. I only know of one OS which was coded by one person. It has no network capabilities either. Still an impressive piece of work though. You glow in the dark CIA jogger.

  31.  @gadget00  Mac OS is FreeBSD. I am not going to explain to you why it was so beneficial for Google to use the Linux kernel either. If writing high performance kernels was that easy then more folks would be doing it. Anyone that uses Linux benefits from the billions of dollars of development that's gone into it. Plus you benefit from all of the future development too. Which at this point is guaranteed. I guess I kind of did explain it to you, hopefully.

  32.  @GodActio  it's a cash and carry problem. Game devs would support Linux if Linux users were more open to paying for closed source software. We're not into closed source software though so it is a dead deal. Microsoft has created an ecosystem where the consumers are better conditioned to profit off. Like the trained apes sans training that they are they are simply more used to paying for software that they do not really own. Devs being smart know this. Even if the user base in Linux gained parity with Windows things still would not change. There's money in Linux. But you actually have to work for it in order to earn it. Devs in it purely for the money ain't about that.

  33. @Zacman X thanks for the insight on other views. Glad I'm not them.

  34. The Window Manager I use is a fork of a BeOS clone that was called Afterstep. Linux is the successor to Be. No one can get Linux to not boot either.

  36. How about Oracle or MySQL or MongoDB or PostgreSQL?

  37. @Zacman X what's sad is your subpar mastery of computer skills. Because if you actually knew what you were doing you'd know how amazing Linux is. Now run Linux again and learn how the binutils work. I'll see you in a few years.

  38. @Zacman X I do not need an office suite. I never need anything more than a text editor. I only run native code too. I don't even have wine installed. I left Windows in 1995 so I don't miss any of it.
