#347523 — Linux User Superiority

GNU/Linux caters to the professional elite.  If one is not
a computer expert then one should keep away.

Microsoft, in stark contrast, is the operating system for
brain-dead idiots.  Witness the proof:

In the Hindu, Buddhist, and other Oriental religions the
"swastika" symbol has an innocuous significance that extends
back for centuries.

The "swastika" is given the Unicode position of U+534D, U+5350,
and several other positions as well.

When the dumb-fuck Microsoft user assholes discovered these innocent
symbols in their digital alphabets there was a furor -- and Microsoft
predictably kissed all their asses.

Yep.  This represents the "sophistication" of the average Microsoft
user.

GNU/Linux Unicode fonts (or anything else) do not exclude or censor based
on the whims of ignoramuses.

Fuck you to Microsoft and all Microsoft users and supporters.

GNU/Linux.  The only choice for REAL men.

It tries to cater to everyone.  19 of the Top 20 at
www.distrowatch.com are click-n-drool installs that boot to a desktop 
(Arch being the exception).

"One" should probably keep away from Linux anyway, as a matter of
principle, in protest of the hobby "developers" foisting their lame
slopware on the world.

Unfortunately, the swastika hasn't been an innocent symbol for about 75
years, since the murderous Nazi Party gained control and unleashed their
thugs on Germany.

You represent the adolescent mentality and sexually-frustrated hostility
of the average Linux user.

heh!  Ever listened to these cola GuhNoo/Linux ignoramuses blather on

censor us out of this stinkpit.

Who the fuck is distrowatch.com?  They're just a bunch of self-proclaimed
watchdogs.  Big fucking deal.  Their word is not at all authoritative.

But there is no "it" here.  Anyone can put together a distro.  There is
no such thing as an official Linux distribution anywhere.

In terms of adhering to the original GNU/Linux purpose and spirit of openness
and user freedom however, Gentoo is hands down the premiere Linux distribution.

One MUST be a professional to use Gentoo.  There are no shortcuts.

As a side note, the performance increase of Gentoo is no illusion.
A Gentoo custom-compiled version of the Firefox browser, for example,
is very noticeably faster than the distributed binary -- and this applies
to a GUI program where performance boosts are seldom directly
perceived.

Microsoft shills should be more than censored.  They should be,
to borrow from the Nazi parlance, given "special treatment."

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

It would be fun to watch those MS shills, in their fancy striped
concentration camp garb, being made to break rocks under the hot
sun before being fried in the ovens.

Microsoft users are the Untermenschen of the computing world and
should all be given the Final Solution.

It's kind of a big deal.  They're the only place to aggregate virtually 
all distros in existence.  And their rankings (hits on their webpages) 
correlate well with the most popular distros in use, as reported in user 
surveys.

Nearly 90% of Linux users choose 1 of 6 distros: Ubuntu, Arch, Mint, 
Debian, Fedora, and openSUSE.

Did you know the Gentoo founder took a job with Microsoft because the 
Linux "community" is full of freeloading cheapskates?

Every bit of that 'noticeably faster' is wiped out the first time you 
waste 15-30 minutes downloading and configuring and compiling a new kernel.

Whiny "advocate" sellout hypocrites and liars like yourself, who

Why do you waste your time trying to be reasonable with an obvious troll 
like "REAL man" Fibbian Russell?

If he's too stupid and lazy to click on "distrowatch.com" then you're 
wasting time trying to explain it to him.

He'll just snip everything you posted and come back screaming at how he's 
such a hard-core command line using expert.

-- 
"You must be fucking joking.

No, wait.  You're not joking.  You haven't the expertise to evaluate 
databases.

Well, a fucking database is a fucking database is a fucking database."

LOL!

I know he'll do exactly that, but it's funnier to calmly put him in his 
place while he froths.

He's another Linux man-child, like sbd and 7 and Chris Ahlstrom.

For you it must be an extremely big deal.

You do NOTHING with a computer but only watch what other people
do with computers.

Only a simpleton par excellance would care about such trivial
shit.

You are like the unattractive spinster that vicariously follows
every movement of the Hollywood crowd through various cheap tabloids.

You are like the tattered voyeurs that frequent the "peep shows"
in the red light district.

You couldn't even produce a set of mailing labels on a randomly
selected office suite, but you know which one is the hottest seller.

You are not even an approximation.  You are a complete and utter fail.

Your opinions and judgments will always be worth less than a pile
of dog shit.

I can tell how little they mean to you: every time I post an opinion you 
rant and froth and tell us how much you hate Microsoft and how great you 
are at every computing task under the sun.

But guess what, little fella?  Monday morning is coming soon, and it's 
Windows you'll be booting up at work.  Again.

Here, have some fun with my 2011 Ode To Crapware.  Best when read out loud.

-----------------------------------------------------------

A is for "advocate", who freeloads the code
Their shameless hypocrisy we do like to goad
Each Monday am it's Windows they boot
Free software means nothing in the face of big loot

B is for bash, they call it a shell
New users are flummoxed and shout "What the hell?"
Bourne Again Shell is it's formal birth name
It's now 23 years old and still POSIX-tively lame

C is for chown, a most geeky task
Watch the NFS files or it could bite your ass
If it throws an ENOMEM and you know what that means
You should take a long break from your grimy green screens

D is for distro, a pile of crap code
They multiply like roaches and they're free to download
You can try 1 a day for the rest of your life
Some geeks prefer it to having a wife

E is for ext4, an extended filesystem
It waits to write data - it delays allocation
4 is the safest with journal checksumming
If 5 has no fragments the geeks won't stop cumming

F is for Fedora, a "community" distro
What I want to know is why they do Spin it so?
They say "Freedom. Friends. Features. First." is their slogan
But the software they give me comes deep from their colon

G is for GNU, a kernel-less mess
The founder eats toejam, in public no less
They say they want software which respects your freedom

EXCELLENT.

Good to see you Copyrighted it.
Great works like that deserve protection from lazy parasites like
those in the Linux community.

How about my distro?  Have they aggregated my Linux distro?

My distro, Fabian's Fabulous Linux, is specially configured for
the single workstation user that has no network other than a
modem link to his ISP.  (There is also the possibility for a small
LAN via a home router.)  It completely eliminates the unnecessary
cruft and useless baggage that all other distros include by default.

This scenario is VERY common and that's why FF Linux is so very
sensible.

So where does my distro rank?  Where stands Fabian's Fabulous Linux?

It must be close to Number One.  It soon will be Number One.

FF Linux.  The ONLY choice for REAL men.

Installing a basic OpenBSD system with X11/fvwm takes about 5 minutes
when installing from an iso.

You snip like Snit.  Whether or not FreeBSD is a better choice
is a matter of preference and has nothing to do with the speed
of an OpenBSD installation.
