Don't mess him up too much, or the taxpayers will have to pay for his care.

Which is done invisibly if the person uses a standard hard disk. It runs
once a week and people don't feel it. However, with more SSDs coming
into use, this is no longer a problem.

I've tried it and haven't been anything close to amazed. The problem is
that while a Windows installation might be slower in some cases, at
least it doesn't require configuration once it is. With Linux, this is
usually necessary for newly-installed programs.

Despite being the basis of most of the most popular distributions.

I'll take your word for it, but it hasn't been my experience.

Well, it just makes sense that Microsoft would cater to the companies
which provide the operating system with software that allows it to stand
out from something that has no exclusive software like Linux.

Good software deserves that the developer get compensated. Since Linux
developers aren't, we know what kind of quality to expect from free
software.

So you moved the goal posts. Interesting.

You bet!

Linux does not try to do everything for the user.  Linux does not automatically
assume what is best for the user.  Linux does not hold the user's hand  or wipe
the user's ass.

Linux allows the user to run his own game, and that requires CONFIGURATION.

Yes, we know that the quality of open source is always BETTER.

Open source does not need to conform to the pressures exerted by
marketing "experts" that will often dictate software functionality
and direct it to the level of the "lowest common denominator."

Open source source need not rely on continued profit and so can
dispense with the gimmicks and other deceptions that often infiltrate
commercial software to boost sales.

Open source CAN be better.  Commercial software often CAN NOT.

Still would love to see an example of Linux handling a desktop task better
than the competition.

Yet you cannot show how it serves you better than the competition.
Interesting. Pick a task you do. Any task.

I can show you many.

But not a single task from you. OK.

You specify "desktop task."

Sorry, but I never use a desktop.

In the first place, a "desktop" is another GUI "crutch" or "shell"
between the user and the machine.  Its tasks are a kind of elaboration
of basic OS functions.

I prefer to deal more directly with the machine.

Well, I have shown a number of examples. Here are some I have showed you:

* 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>.

I can show others, of course. Maybe a good thing to show is just a simple
comparison. Here is one of common word processors on each platform being
used to rotate images in a document: <http://youtu.be/w6Qcl-w7s5c>

> Sorry, but I never use a desktop.

Fair enough... this means you have no real basis to say Linux handles it as
well, no less better, than other systems. Fine.

And that is fine... but for most people it is a tool to get work done, not a
tool to play with the tool.

You don't want to compare GNU/Linux.  You want to compare desktops.

The two are completely independent.

I don't know what GNU/Linux desktops can do and I don't want to know.

I think most in COLA accept that Linux is a great solution on supercomputers
and servers and embedded devices and the like.

So, yes, I am interested in comparing it in the primary place where it has
actual competition and where I hope to see it grow and mature and compete
well. Absolutely.

This is where we saw things differently on things like spaces. For a desktop
it is fine. For other uses not always. Different needs have different
requirements and different skills. I have no issue with that. For example, I
would not use spaces in my web files.

It's a common tactic for cola trolls to (attempt to) frame the discussion 
in terms of the desktop, ignoring the large majority of computing that 
occurs outside of it.

They do this because the desktop is pretty much the only place where 
Linux doesn't have overwhelming adoption.

(...yet?)

Even so, when it is pointed out that there are dozens of millions of 
desktop Linux users, they try to argue percentages.  Logic and reason go 
right out the window when this is pointed out to them.

Gets old after a while...

I have noted it does great elsewhere. As have others. Is anyone denying
that?

> (...yet?)

Maybe it will. I hope so. I would love to see it grow to the point of
competing well there!

Huh? What does this even mean? Argue percentages over numbers. They are tied

You are the one saying "desktops are not needed". Well, I suppose, computers
in general are not. People lived a long time without them! But desktops are
sure useful!

Yes, the linux shill (vallor) always tries to deflect away from the 
linux crappy desktop that can't gain any traction in the market place.

That's because the 'large majority of computing' that occurs outside of 
the desktop is completely irrelevant to why ANY of us are here in cola 
in the first place.

Fact is, when users are given a choice between desktop Windows and 
Linux, they overwhelmingly choose Windows (see the Linux netbook fiasco 
of 2009).

The word 'Linux' apparently is the kiss of death for retail sales.  Not 
sure why, but it's probably because of the horrible techy/geeky image 
people like you "advocates" have helped perpetuate.

Google won't even put the word Linux anywhere near Android.  And the 
word 'Linux' isn't used one time on the main page of the most popular 
Linux distro http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop.

Good job, geeks!

You clowns toss around 'dozens of millions of desktop Linux users' 
because it sounds big - and you hope nobody will point out what a small 
percentage of the desktop market it is.

Well, it's about 1.4% of the desktop market.

Not sure what kind of logic and reason is necessary to understand that 
approx. 14 in 1000 desktop users run Linux.

GTFO.  Bashing Linux hobbyware and its lying proponents doesn't get old.

Google also doesn't mention Linux on their Chromebooks other than to 
indicate you can install Linux if you so choose.  They do have the 
Penguin though.

In Linux, and analogously in other OS's, all that bloated desktop
crap serves only one purpose, and that is to call the little itty
bitty exec() function, which in turn invokes the x86_64 Application
Binary Interface

The machine is always there in spite of being obscured by millions
of lines of desktop crud.

A desktop is not necessary.  I use a simple window manager and
virtual consoles.  I have no bloat and superb control.

So why not show how you would do the tasks I have shown you... if desktops
are not needed what would be your method? Use a phone?
