And of course what he describes is not the norm. He is very, very bitter. -- 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. <https://youtu.be/H4NW-Cqh308>

From how Prescott Computer Guy posted - by asking for basics of the operating system and so forth - he has certainly not figured out a graphically complex problem in his life. If he had he'd have understood the requirements such as knowing what are local and global variables! Despite all the crowing Prescott Computer Guy has done on this topic, the 'Professional Developer' does not understand how to do this. It seriously takes a couple seconds to select a paragraph and 'Google' it. Sadly there are too many "slow is good enough" false "advocates" and not enough old school users with the skills to help the people with old computers. "You are never up to anything good" said Prescott Computer Guy's girlfriend. Everyone is Prescott Computer Guy -- the oldest gag in the book. You can say I am Madonna for all I care. And you do, of course realize that it isn't impossible for Prescott Computer Guy to be doing this, or to have his uploaded consciousness doing it for him. - My Snoring Solution http://www.5z8.info/creditscore_g7f8du_launchexe Jonas Eklundh

Meanwhile, whenever we mention an easy to use command from the terminal, the WinTrolls yammer on like rabid coyotes about how Linux requires the use of the CLI. What hypocrites. -- The more I see of Windows, the more I like Linux.

Here are the Mint update instructions: <https://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/2> ----- A "Fresh" upgrade consists of the following steps: 1. Making a backup of the data 2. Making a backup of the software selection 3. Performing a fresh installation using the liveDVD of the new release 4. Restoring the data 5. Restoring the software selection This is the recommended way to upgrade Linux Mint and it offers the following advantages: 1. Safe: Your data is backed up externally. Whatever mistake you make or whatever bug happens during the installation cannot affect it. 2. Fast: The installation usually lasts 15 minutes. The DVD for the new release contains compressed data. Downloading the ISO and upgrading from the DVD is much faster than upgrading the system from the repositories. 3. Reliable: First, you get the opportunity to test your hardware detection in the new release using the liveDVD. If anything is wrong you can simply decide not to upgrade, it's not too late. Second, you end up with a fresh installation of Linux Mint, i.e. a system that was fully tested by the development team and the community. 4. Easy: Things do go as planned this way. ----- That is directly from the Mint site. This is not some other site claiming it, nor me claiming one should do this with Mint... this is the MINT SITE making this claim. So, do you want to keep pushing your fantasy that Mint is so much better than the competition here? ... -- Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity.

Of course, his response > will be to ignore me OR to say I must hate Linux. He is pure emotion. It's obvious he is trying to convince himself that Linux is a better alternative and at the same time he refuses to sit down and actually compare a MODERN VERSION of Windows with his Linux. He knows Windows destroys Linux for a typical, average, non programmer person, simply by choice of applications but he will never admit it. That's why his dander gets fired up when people show him how poorly Linux does for his application and how great Windows is in comparison. So to compensate he makes up these long winded stories, without proof, about Windows.

He is pure emotion. > > It's obvious he is trying to convince himself that Linux is a better > alternative and at the same time he refuses to sit down and actually > compare a MODERN VERSION of Windows with his Linux. It does come across as him trying to justify his decisions to HIMSELF. He can, of course, use what he likes -- for good reasons or bad -- but he is clearly insecure about his choice. Maybe this is tied to the whole "Paradox of Choice" idea where no matter what choice he makes he second guesses himself. What he seems to not understand is one does not have to pick one OR the other. I use Linux. I use macOS. I use Windows (though less than I used to). He can use them all (or whatever combo he wants) and not be bitter and angry about other choices. > He knows Windows destroys Linux for a typical, average, non programmer > person, simply by choice of applications but he will never admit it. That's > why his dander gets fired up when people show him how poorly Linux does for > his application and how great Windows is in comparison. I would love to see him prove you wrong and show examples of tasks he does with Linux where he thinks it serves him better. Than others can share how THEY get similar tasks done, on Linux or the competition, and we can ALL learn from each other. No need to put each other down. But he will not. This is 100% predictable. > So to compensate he makes up these long winded stories, without proof, > about Windows. It certainly seems that way. -- Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity.

I have a program I use as well, but it's something you would not understand. Larry 'The Fool' Washington is commonly seen insisting "THERE IS NO" when it comes to data on the Internet where information is easy to find... but Larry 'The Fool' Washington is just too dense and lost to grasp any instruction he finds. Yup. Clearly this is what we have to deal with. Cretins who clearly have no reason for being here other than to antagonize others. Larry 'The Fool' Washington has toned down the zillions of self obsessed, bullshit attacks he used to knock off but he's certainly not much different in the truthfulness area. He just uses socks more now to create those attacks. Larry 'The Fool' Washington claims to be the Linux-professor. Let's see him put up a version but lacking the sorting constructs.His goal is to see Steve Carroll chased away by idiotic lying. And hey, that could kill this group. Do not get too arrogant, Larry 'The Fool' Washington, sometimes "your shills" are just that. All joking aside, what lie? -- "You'll notice how quickly he loses interest when everything is about him. He clearly wants the attention" Steven Petruzzellis, making the dumbest comment ever uttered.

It's obvious that Linux is vastly superior to Windows. And, since you think these instructions for a version upgrade from Linux Mint 12 to Linux Mint 13 (8 years ago) has anything to do with a standard update — what's really obvious is that you're "obviously" clueless about all things Linux. Just another lying, clueless troll. What a surprise. (I guess the two "Hadron" nyms "nobody" and "proletariat" can join the regular "Hadron" nym in the killfile cell with "Snit." You should all get along fine together, you're all clueless morons.) > He knows Windows destroys Linux for a typical, average, non programmer > person, simply by choice of applications but he will never admit it.

Sure it does. Because having to worry that Wincrap will screw the pooch EVERY TIME it updates is so much better than a stable OS (like Linux Mint) that has multiple upgrades weekly and has never killed itself on my machines. (You might want to wear a wig for "Snit." I think he likes that.) -- The more I see of Windows, the more I like Linux.

Really? You sure aren't presenting proof of that claim. I'd love to see you show some tasks where Linux is better than Windows or OSX for an average, typical, non-programmer user. But you won't and that is because you can't. You know it. I know it. Everyone knows it. You need to stop playing games with yourself and admit Linux sucks.

I respond to you more, you say you do not read it, but you CLEARLY are responding. LOL! -- 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. <https://youtu.be/H4NW-Cqh308>

Generally, I would not call a post like Klaus Schadenfreude's posts a fabrication until you invalidate it (as you are here) and he responds with the nothing but repetition without offering any evidence. Regardless of my reasoned dislike of openSUSE, I still continue to install it for people who have had difficulties with macOS. If Klaus Schadenfreude calls being busted left and right by everyone effective 'trolling', then whatever... he is a good troll. I don't personally accept that definition, I use another term. I call that person a complete doofus. - Puppy Videos http://www.5z8.info/facebook-of-sex_w4l4wg_bomb Jonas Eklundh

My updated a copy of Windows 10 runs great. There's no shame in being a poor, "do it yourself" Linux lover. Nor is there shame in being a rich, snobby Apple user. Some people think a $1000 bottle of wine tastes better, others don't.
