#351620 — Arch Linux has won the Torvalds and Stallman award!

Linus Torvalds awarded Arch Linux as the most consumer friendly distribution

Arch Linux has won the Free Software Award for the Most Consumer Friendly Linux Distribution. Aaron Griffin received the award from Richard M. Stallman and Linus Torvalds at the LibrePlanet conference at the University of Massachusetts, Boston.

* How to install the award winning Arch Linux

"The purpose of a GNU distribution is to make it easy for users to use their system. It's a stupid idea to force your users to compile everything from scratch," said Linus Torvalds at the event. If you think your users are going to compile everything, only compilers will use your software."

Arch Linux beat Gentoo this year. Last year Gentoo won the coveted "Most User friendly Linux Award."

"I think Arch was the best choice this year as it respects user's freedom and keeps its repositories free from any proprietary or non-free packages. Arch-GNU/Linux was our first choice because it discourages practices like DRM or Tiviozation. I think other distributions should follow Arch's principles. If you can't respect freedom, go release your sex-tapes or commit suicide, please leave the morbid GNU/Linux world alone," added Linus.

When someone from the crowd asked Linus about Ubuntu, he said, "I think Ubuntu crowd is a bunch of masturbating monkeys obsessed with the KISS principle, forcing users to use the stupid command line."

Richard M Stallman congratulated Arch for their achievement but also pointed out the areas where he thinks Arch needs improvement, "Arch's lack of support of DRM and binary blobs are the only areas where I see hurdles in the wide-spread adoption of Linux. We have elevated the DRM implementation project at FSF to boost work on it. Today Arch is the second most popular operating system and this gap is only due to Arch's bad philosophy of pure Open Source software. I think they should start offering proprietary and patented applications in their repositories."

Gentoo Linux won the second spot and CRUX Linux grabbed the 3rd spot as the most user-friendly distribution of the year. Ubuntu and Linux Mint could not even qualify for the award due to their overly complicated Unity and Cinnamon interfaces.

I'm using Linux based Operating Systems since 1999

Using Ubuntu as my primary OS since 1997 (Feisty Fawn). Please show me 
(based on *facts*) what's wrong with Ubuntu?

Nothing important. Just that your release dates are somewhat off.

Feisty Fawn was released April 19 2007, not in 1997

And using linux since 1999 but having Feisty Fawn Ubuntu as major OS since 
1997 (2 years earlier) sounds like Snit Slimeball

I stand corrected, Feisty Fawn was released in 2007.

I used Linux since 1999 (SuSE Linux 6.1 Professional).

Bullshit.  You can configure and build most source-code packages on any
Linux distro.

Arch is a very good distribution -- just more work than I want/need to 
put into a Linux install at this point of my life. That "dumb-ass" Linux 
Mint is incredibly easy to install and maintain. There's a reason 
(reasons) why Ubuntu-based distributions are so popular.

I downloaded and made a USB Image of Ubuntu 16.04 and tried it out for 
several hours yesterday. I actually got to where I didn't mind (wouldn't 
exactly say "liked") Unity. I didn't know you could hide "panel" (or 
whatever it's called in Unity) -- and you can also now send it to the 
bottom of the screen. It worked "out of box," and makes me wonder if I 
should look more closely at Cinnamon (which runs on Gnome 3).

A few days earlier I tried LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition). I liked it, 
but installing a couple applications I use (Everpad -- or NixNote -- and 
Trelby) didn't take. And I ran into some other issues. I'm sure I could 
have figured it out, but Ubuntu (and its many derivatives) certainly 
makes using Linux easy.

Unity is an acquired taste. First time I used it I absolutely did not
like it. Over the last couple years it has grown on me. I'm totally fine
with it. rhel is my preferred distro however, I do use Ubuntu quite a bit
too.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!  It sounds like the activity
of some pussy, pansy fag!

"Oh Tiffy!  Come look at my pretty buttons!  Watch how I can make
the panel disappear!  With my NixiePixie WatchDog I can tune in to all
the latest shoe styles!"

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Ubuntu and Mint.  Computing for pansies and fags.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
