We get it, you like to delve into the depths of your operating system 
and enjoy the power you can leverage, but most people just want to get a 
task done quickly and easily, just like most people want to get in a car 
and drive to work and home but equally there are those who like to pull 
their car to pieces and tune and mod the living daylights out of it.

Forcing everyone to be a car mechanic/nut is just as daft and futile as 
forcing everyone to use a Linux command line.

Yup, you are incapable of original thought.

The long time delay clearly indicates a non-existent brain. :)

What a load of crap.

I use virtual console quite often on Ubuntu.

Does insanity run in your family?

Personally, I used Red Hat Linux since the Halloween release, then Fedora 
Core 1-whenever, and then Fedora on up to some ungodly number...and got 
tired of the freaking "we have to be completely free" rat race.

You know what I'm talking about -- enabling rpmfusion and hoping they 
have the software you want.  Simple things, like gawdamned mp3 codecs.

Even worse, I discovered that in Fedora, they had intentionally crippled 
openssl.  Not just in the binary packages, but they had made it so the 
SRPM couldn't be compiled with elliptical curve crypto enabled.  I needed 
that crypto for a project, and Red Hat (not "the community", but _Red 
Hat_) had ripped the code right out of openssl for "legal reasons" that 
were wholly unfounded.

That's when I realized being "tough guy Linux honcho" wasn't working for 
me.  Fsck that.  I looked around and found the most complete Linux system 
I could find, one that I wouldn't have to hunt around for pieces.  Linux 
Mint fit the bill, and I've never looked back.

The difference between you and me, Fabio, is that I get real, productive 
work done with my Linux system, because I'm not constantly tinkering with 
the underpinnings.

Don't get me wrong -- I _do_ wrench on my kernel, but on *my* terms... 
not because of some O/C drive to hot rod a computer.

If you want to soup-up your system, more power too you -- but don't 
pretend that makes you somehow better than people who have opted for more 
simplicity in their life.  Some people drive hot-rodded T-buckets, and 
some people drive Cadillacs.

Finally, I see elsewhere that you lamenting that you aren't a systems 
programmer.  Well, what are you waiting for?  Christmas?

Get thee to the Documentation directory in your latest kernel tree, and 
start reading.  I highly recommend Documentation/RCU for starters, 
because you'll get to learn about a great area of innovation in Linux 
that you've probably never heard of.

Point your browser at your version of:

<file:///home/OS/linux-4.6-rc5/Documentation/RCU/whatisRCU.txt>

In fact, there's a design document in there:

<file:///home/OS/linux-4.6-rc5/Documentation/RCU/Design/Requirements/
Requirements.html>

vallor uses Linux Mint??? Must be one of the best kept secrets going.

Ooooh! vallor is nothing, but a tinkering sellout!!!

Nice article but all are *personal preferences* nothing more or less.

* Unity can be replaced by any desktop shell or desktop environment;
* You don't have to use Ubuntu One, oh wait, it's already deprecated;
* Never used Software Center, still using Synaptic.

Can't change that Ubuntu is descended from Debian Testing (AKA "beta").
"Testing" is what virtual machines are for.

Linux tard!

Moi has ZERO interest in communicating with a retard, nor do I care about conversing with Liars, Computer Idiots, those clueless about googling, Health Morons, or Linux tards. 

Linux tards are really a work of art. They either are lying through their teeth, or they are too stupid to actually figure out what is going on. No, the Linux tard simply prefers to mindlessly pass along incorrect information about the one true Linux.

   Unity. Mir. SystemD. That spyware stuff. Pushing out betaware a little
too soon. Canonical has a rather bad NIH problem and a strange split-brain
problem when it comes to commercial bits like full h264 support and binary
video drivers.

   If anything, they should be the distro that sorts all of those sorts of
things out for you to the point of having a payware version if necessary.

   Something like Mint should be the payware version of Ubuntu desktop
and include a sanctioned DVD player (or even BluRay player).

By "spyware" you mean the Amazon deal, right? No longer an issue. I agree 
on Ubuntu pushing stuff out too soon -- which is why I always stick with 
the long term releases. (Now Linux Mint only works with the Long Term 
Releases.)

Spoil spurt!

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.”

Correct, AFAIK Linus prefers Fedora with Gnome 3.

If you can't respect freedom, go release your sex-tapes or commit suicide, please leave the morbid GNU/Linux world alone," added Linus.

What does Linus know, after all? He was not able to install Debian, whereas Moi started out with Debian.

I do NOT compile anything in Mint!!!

Linus' concept of consumer are the 50 key programmers on his Linux Kernel development team.

Moi has a slightly different definition of consumer.
