I have used it some, but prefer to us vi. Or USED to use vi. Before vim. :)

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They 
cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel 
somehow superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.

Emacs isnt just a file editor which vi is. OK, not quite fair on
vi. Emacs ties in thousands of areas of functionality : not necessarily
involving text editing of files. use Tramp and bookmarks to access
remote ssh locations. Why bother using tmux when you can do it in the
environment you're familiar with? It also has epa so you can edit/use
gpg files which contains things like sudo passwords for remote root
access. Plus I hate modal editing.

Visit MELPA and be awed.

Sure... it is basically its own OS.

There are only 10,000 if your install oodles of extensions and then
probably not when it comes to basic text editing in those extensions eg
irc, mail, twitter, blog, etc etc They are the ones you know and
love. The benefits should be obvious. In fact the use of localised mode
maps and conventions generally makes it very straightforward. Plus there
are add ons from MELPA which can list the keys in a map after you have
pressed the first/second etc.

Not a fan... but I can see the appeal. Depends on the type work you do 
and your own tastes. Another area where choice is good.

Maybe you can think of and explain / show some tasks you do with it 
where you think it offers a benefit. If they are tasks I do and I do not 
have as good of a workflow that would be enticing to me. Chances are you 
will not find many of those, largely because I do little with text 
editing. I *do* use BBEdit for simple text manipulations and searches, 
but nothing even moderately complex (compared to what can be done with 
Emacs or the like with large log files or whatever -- or at least large 
log files was one of my main uses of such features in the past).

I have no real issue with a tool doing that... though to me it makes 
more sense to do so in a GUI where you can have things be more visual 
(say right click and get your add ons).

A sucking vacuum of ideas, magnified by the reciprocal of the endless vastness of space, demonstrating the vast nothingness of the main character's so-called thought process. 

I am not raging, in fact I'm in stitches because Jonas 'The Fool' Eklundh's idiocy is so juvenile. He purposefully didn't mention all the details that he would quickly mock... and we all know why, Jonas 'The Fool' Eklundh is such a moron. At least he has his shills in his corner. I just use an automation and won't be bothered by the posts. Jonas 'The Fool' Eklundh's attack has made an out and out mess of cola via GG, so I don't waste time replying to Klaus Schadenfreude with my phone anymore. Only thing he has achieved with this crap is that the Jonas 'The Fool' Eklundh plonk will *never* be lifted. 

Gee, imagine Jonas 'The Fool' Eklundh trying to pin his crap on Klaus Schadenfreude, no one has ever seen that before.

Microsoft recently decided that I can no longer download Microsoft 
Office 2013 Pro Plus. As a result, I'm using LibreOffice which loads 
very quickly in Windows now. No complaints from me since both 
applications do what I need and I don't particularly need Outlook.

I never modify images but GIMP is indeed available to me in Windows as 
are other applications like Paint.net. I believe Krita also has a 
Windows version.

I really think that programmers and network administrators are the only 
ones who really recognize the true benefits of Linux. I'm not denying 
that there are many, but I believe that you really need to have a deeper 
knowledge of the inner workings of an operating system to understand 
_why_ Linux is better. The user has a few advantages but they often seem 
discreet to a person who is just looking for colours, effects and a nice 
wallpaper.

You have choice. Cool.

There are many options on macOS... I tend to use Photoshop but for many 
that is more than they need.

For me it matters how a tool works for me. No doubt Linux has benefits 
there, but so do Windows and macOS.

Perhaps you use it foolishly. Do you not comprehend the use of encryption? "Now that was close" said Jonas Eklundh Communication AB's girlfriend. 

The herd's passed old text through Google translate with a takeoff of Markova chains to regurgitate texts which are made to sound like a response from Steve Carroll's. At one point, he said an online denizen was "obsessing" over him, which was shown to be merely him posting to himself. Gee, imagine Jonas Eklundh Communication AB trying to pin his balderdash on others, no one has ever seen that before <sarcasm>. 

And in reply you have nothing but a crack to start something. From what I've seen (which is none of it lately), it looks like the Scrivener ecosystem is breaking down. The person you are referencing is in my shit list.

That seems odd.

I don't do graphics either but there are plenty of choices for Windows.

I agree with you.
And as people, average people, are required to know/learn even less about
technology as compared to say 20 years ago, Linux becomes even less of a
palatable choice.
It's like any appliance. Plug it in and it works. 

I strongly agree that's it worthwhile for consumers to know the basics and
I don't particularly agree with the direction things are moving in but it's
the way it is.
A person who is a stock broker wants data and to analyze the data to
present to clients. 
He doesn't have time to fool around with an operating system, other than to
use it to run applications.

For most I'd say it is questionable. Of course, given that it's Peter the Klöwn I would drop that step and go straight to 'bullshit' because that's most of what Peter the Klöwn does. IOW, there is no reason to respect presumption of innocence. 

He is undeniably lying, he got called out on it and he's doing the predictable defensive funny business learned in trolling 101 as he strives to keep a hint of legitimacy... but it won't work. BTW, I've already shown that his use of "cult-like" to describe COLA denizens is defamation of character, since he's likening them to mindless automatons. If the content is a bunch of rambling Peter the Klöwn-like crap. That points to one person. So many trolls are talking about the open source "GUI" as if they think it actually would even make sense. Peter the Klöwn gets off on that Steve Carroll is on the other end. Imagine if Peter the Klöwn walked up to a dog and delivered the punch line. It wouldn't be worth it. He inconveniences an entire group of people who are mere civilians, but that's a narcissist for you. What others care about isn't a factor. 

Was that meant to be clever?

Any heinously desperate sleep deprived whacko could easily do the same. Jonas Eklundh Communication has cut down on the hundreds of narcissistic, bullshit attacks he used to create but he is surely the same in the honesty territory. He simple uses shills more to generate those attacks. I'm guessing, after blocking all the trolling from Jonas Eklundh Communication, it's primarily just two trolls mass producing almost all of the crap in here. It is blatant. And both perfectly obsessive drug addicts. Who are you even talking to? With no proof at all, as is the norm for Jonas Eklundh Communication. 

You likely think KDE handles the desktop well. Nope. Not compared to Windows.

If I told you that I would have to kill you!
I think I've used maybe 10 nyms over the years and all were variations on
my name. I was once an active Linux advocate in COLA but moved over to IRC
where I used to be very active.

I left Linux when Windows 10 was released because I came to the realization
that I was fooling myself into believing that Linux was a better system for
my needs and I could no longer honestly preach to people about the
superiority of Linux when I didn't even believe it myself. It was a very
stressful time in my life.

Reading RonB's posts reminds me of myself and the way I used to behave in
order to denigrate Microsoft, Windows and anything that wasn't Linux or
open source. I saw myself becoming unhinged and that's when I actually took
the time to make an honest assessment of Windows vs Linux and I decided to
abandon Linux and move on. At one point I almost bought a Mac but I do like
gaming and that isn't a good match for the Mac. 

Linux has it's place but for me it's a non-starter and while the knowledge
I gained setting up and running Linux is a good thing, all the time I spent
trying to convince myself and others that Linux is superior to Windows or
OSX is wasted time that I will never be able to get back. I don't recognize
most of the names in COLA except for snit, yourself and chrisv. RonB sounds
familiar but I'm not sure. I do remember some person named Rapskat I think?
He posted a lot if I remember correctly. the rest is kind of a blur because
I was posting a lot on IRC.

But *I* use a Mac and you do not so... so... so... um... wait... I do 
not care one whit.

Really, I do not get the "you must use what I use" mentality. I also use 
Linux and (though increasingly rarely) Windows. Used to be my order of 
use was Mac, Windows, Linux... but now it is Mac, Linux, Windows. As my 
needs change my usage changes.

I have a "dead" iMac. Really just the hard drive is dead. Well, and the 
back lighting on the monitor is failing. It is a 2007 machine and not 
worth fixing... BUT, I can run Linux on a flash drive and plug it into a 
large screen TV and it is not my media system. Linux has saved the 
system from the land fill, saved me money, and serves me -- for that use 
-- far better than the competition.

Welcome back.


-- 
Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They 
cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel 
somehow superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.

I suspect we have two different perspectives completely. Klaus Schadenfreude wants to punish us: If he can't be the focus here then his flooding crap will. It's a prolonged conflict, and Klaus Schadenfreude is simultaneously unable to stop his trolling remarks, while posting with nyms that speak just like him. 

BTW, I've already pointed out that his use of "cult-like" to describe honest people is defamation of character, since he's likening them to farmed livestock. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

I got the software when I worked for my previous school board. It's 
possible that the license expired because I no longer work for them but 
I have no idea if that's the case. To say the least, I actually prefer 
LibreOffice. It's not necessarily because it's better but more because I 
know that updates will always be free to me. I also prefer using open 
formats.

More than on the Mac, in fact. I imagine that's why people who were once

If I were still a teenager, I'd probably want to spend more time looking 
at the innards of Linux to become as knowledgeable as someone like owl. 
However, I do want to watch my Blu-Ray titles, I want to play some new 
games and I especially like my DRM video services. I'm somewhat 
unapologetic in saying that I like them. I can get most of that to work 
in Linux, but it sucks to find out that my M.2 RAID setup does not work 
the way that it should with the open-source OS and that some games I 
paid for will either not work or not as well as in Windows. I don't 
think I'll ever dislike Linux or open-source again, but I'm nearing 40 
and my patience for non-function or tinkering has dropped considerably.

I still advocate Linux's use, especially if a friend or family member 
has numerous problems with a Windows installation over time. Still, I'd 
rather limit my headaches and I notice that I do that if I use boring 
old Windows.

What RAID controller and RAID level, and what's not working?
