New to Linux? Have you heard Linux is 'perfect."?

Show all headers | View raw

A bunch of blithering idiots on the Internet and Usenet have claimed 
"Linux is perfect." or some distribution of Linux is "perfect." 
(period, with no qualifications whatsoever), or Linux is perfect for any 
computing situation.


Are they telling the truth?  See here for many examples of perfection, 
and judge for yourself:

Linux Format May 2009 issue: Find The Perfect Distro

"[Ubuntu] is the perfect Linux distribution for converting people who
normally would pass on the idea of Linux"

"Linux Mint gives you a perfect out-of-the-box experience"

"Linux Mint is the perfect candidate for all Linux converts."

"Puppy Linux is the perfect distro for a USB stick install"

"Mandriva is perfect for Qt development"

"CentOS is the perfect choice of operating system for running a
server on a restrictive budget"

=========================================================================

For years Canonical claimed Ubuntu was "perfect for laptops, desktops 
and servers".  They removed that bullshit lie and replaced it with 
another one: "Ubuntu is perfect for schools, universities and colleges 
everywhere."
