Good enough for CERN, but not good enough for DFS.

I bet the last button clicked to start a collider experiment is on a 
Windows screen.

Don't run Edge, and don't go to the wrong web page.  Non-problem solved...

Google has a street view inside of CERN control room.  You can walk
around and see about 80 computer screens.  I see two or three obvious
windows machines (at login prompt).  Where you see other desktops,
*maybe* one was windows.  Others look like Linux/Unix of some sort,
but it's hard to tell.  It's pretty clear that most of the ones in the
screenshot below of CERN control room (upper image) are running CERN's
Linux (compared to two known CERN Scientific Linux screens):

You're like a shark in a goldfish bowl. We all see you there and let you know. And you're so brain-dead you keep rejecting it. Steve 'The Flooder' Carroll claims to be the Linux-teacher, let us see him put up a version without the automated loops.I shall not ask Steve 'The Flooder' Carroll how any part of Desk Rabbit's anatomy tastes no matter how regularly Steve 'The Flooder' Carroll kisses it. Both of those guys get their thrill out of triggering angry reactions to their lies, which is the very definition of a troll. 

Playing with Linux... forever an initiate... Steve 'The Flooder' Carroll-like idiots are now babbling about the open source "GUI" as if something like that literally exists.

Absolutely no doubt.  At the cutting edge, where the rubber meets
the road, there is only GNU/Linux.

In the back room where the idiots and retards practice their
mindless and rote mechanical tasks, Microshit Winblows is
the appliance of necessity.

The stupid stooge will never learn.  He is like an idiot on roller
skates.  He keeps falling and stumbling but even though he'll
never make it he just won't quit.

Way back when:

"CERN has a large Windows 95/NT infrastructure with
more than 3500 PCs connected that is used as one of
the main information services for the laboratory. This
infrastructure is used for a wide set of services,
including Office Automation, Computing Aided
Engineering, Calculations, Software Development,
and ... controls."

That's the same street view I took the screenshot from.

Like I said, you can find a couple doze terminals here and there.
The vast majority are Linux.

And none of them were used like that one Winders laptop is,
propping up a short table leg.

Jonas Eklundh Communication AB has cut down on the hundreds of narcissistic, bullshit posts he used to post but he's surely unchanged in the honesty territory. He simple uses shills more to produce those threads. 

chrisv can create a virtual machine. Makes Jonas Eklundh Communication AB cry because he can not. 

Both chrisv and Jonas Eklundh Communication AB had their clinkers and their humiliations. One presented it cool and didn't do anything too publicly that could not be re-done in a way that made it look like he had a clue.

LOL! Even though he's crotchety as f*ck, I kinda feel sorry for JG
at times. I actually admire his thrift-store values, a lot of us are too 
into just tossing things... in an endless cycle of polluting the place 
as we do. Now whales are coming up on beaches with bunches of 
plastic in their bellies... not good.

So Prescott Computer Guy changed his story to Klaus Schadenfreude talking about his family. 

What did Prescott Computer Guy have to say about this miraculous, years long string of oddities? Most of the time he would try to lead Klaus Schadenfreude to trust they're real people who just happened to have not enough brains to see through his lies. Despite all the gloating Prescott Computer Guy has done on this topic, the 'Growth Hacker' does not know how to do this. It literally takes a couple seconds to highlight a selection and 'capitalize' it. But Prescott Computer Guy feels the need to belittle the herd. So be it.

I am well aware the channel I link to from COLA is merely beginner level; that said, it meets the requirements. In spite of my feelings about openSUSE, I nonetheless continue to load it for clients who have had difficulties with Windows. 

The "advocates" value the lowest common denominator in both their lives and their computer systems.

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.
