If these idiot Linux loons can install and use Linux, an imbecile should be able to accomplish it.

Of course it stings. That is why the Linux loons are now resorting to the "only superior minded people use Linux". The masses have shunned Linux. >> Lot's of people can't operate a stick shift, and so they cannot ever >> operate a high-end sports car.

He seems to be the elitist type of Linux loon, like Jeb or Vallor. IOW, his choice of dancing around the Linux is crap debate is based upon the concept that only "smart people" are capable of using Linux. Unfortunately this is in direct conflict with those Linux loons who have been claiming for years that Linux is superior and easier to use than Windows. > IOW, a dumbass!! What Linux loon isn't a dumbass? They need to take off the rose colored glasses, get out of the basement and see what the rest of the earth is up to.

Do you have examples of tasks which Linux handles better than the competition? There was a discussion in COLA about that some time ago and the Linux users had a hard time coming up with any examples. Here are some examples from the competition where Linux was never shown to be able to handle things well... and there are many more: * From a single online recipe (or art project, lesson plan, whatever) save it and email a PDF version where you add notes to it. Now I know this can be done on Linux; save, open, edit, email. Just curious to see how you people would generally do it and how streamlined the workflow would be. A couple ways I might: <https://youtu.be/NPM_WldEBs0>. * Make a video, as Owl and I have been, but with cursor replacement / resizing (post production), window highlighting, zooming, arbitrary area highlighting. For me these were done just to show something else: <https://youtu.be/aSNpnYpmKag>. I have many other options but picked these because they fit the real-world example I did shortly before coming up with the "challenge". * Getting a WayBackArchive page and getting images of all links, the HTML validation and CSS validation from W3.org, and a active link to the archive page, as I did here (does not have to look the exact same, of course): <http://tmp.gallopinginsanity.com/sandman/sandman-archive.pdf>. -- * OS X / Linux: What is a file? <http://youtu.be/_dMbXGLW9PI> * Mint MATE Trash, Panel, Menu: <http://youtu.be/C0y74FIf7uE> * Mint KDE working with folders: <http://youtu.be/7C9nvniOoE0> * Mint KDE creating files: <http://youtu.be/N7-fZJaJUv8> * Mint KDE help: <http://youtu.be/3ikizUd3sa8> * Mint KDE general navigation: <http://youtu.be/t9y14yZtQuI> * Mint KDE bugs or Easter eggs? <http://youtu.be/CU-whJQvtfA> * Easy on OS X / Hard on Linux: <http://youtu.be/D3BPWANQoIk> * OS / Word Processor Comparison: <http://youtu.be/w6Qcl-w7s5c>

So much for all of those conspiracy theorists who keep on claiming that it was only due to nasty MS business practices. > Aside from garbage and junk like Ubuntu or Mint, Linux requires > a certain technical awareness and savvy that the average MS Windows > user could NEVER muster. Amplification of the assertion...not an accident of an incorrect interpretation. > Lot's of people can't operate a stick shift, and so they cannot > ever operate a high-end sports car. They are forever excluded > from that club. It's the same story with Linux. It's an interesting analogy, but one thats 20 years out of date: nearly all sports cars have gone to higher-than-manual-transmission automatics, Frequently which are electomechanical dual clutch systems (DSG, PDK, etc) which literally outperform manual shifting. > Do not let the collective opinion of the ignorant mob influence > your judgment of the finest OS that ever was: GNU/Linux. Except that "finest" carries a contradiction in that it isn't user friendly and a steep learning curve - - even though there's other vendors who have successfully cracked the UI nut even on Unix underpinnings. Including one company who's been walking away with IIRV over half of the net profits on the desktop segment. -hh

In the first place, the correct term is "amateur" and not "hobbyist." Open source programmers are AMATEURS in the true sense of the word The word "amateur" means someone who performs some activity purely for the love and enjoyment of that activity. The amateur is not necessarily any less proficient than the professional, but only does not expect monetary compensation for his labors. Yes, an amateur programmer is just as good, or even better, than a highly paid professional. Therefore, open source software is often just as good, or even better, than its commercial counterparts. For one thing, OSS can be better because it does not have to conform to the artificial constraints imposed on commercial products by marketing considerations. Anyone who doubts this has never been involved in commercial software production. The average professional programmer is not always highly skilled. That's why most companies employ legions of coders just to produce a simple software package. In this kind of situation, any individual incompetence tends to get lost in the collective effort. OSS cannot be so easily dismissed by branding it as "hobbyware." Face the facts. The kid next door can be more adept and imaginative than the six-figure software manager at MSFT.

Not only that, but it has enhanced my reflexes and made me a lot more useful as a defender or a goaltender whenever I play a sport. Some games even teach about historical elements (Assassin's Creed and Civilization for instance) which have allowed me to excel whenever I studied History.
