Sure, it is the OS that is crazier than a three-ring circus with 306

standardization either. Because there wouldn't be 300+ distros if
they did. And it is very tough to write applications that would run
on 300+ distros. So you end up with many lame basic applications like
Firefox, Thunderbird, LibreOffice, VLC, etc. Hell Android, iOS,
Windows RT, Palm OS, etc can do that stuff too. So I've never found
one killer app for Linux in all of these years.

Wow! I had to dig up my old post because whatever you used to quote it
sure screwed it up. Compare the above to your quoted version. Big
difference.

You're fooling only yourself. I didn't quote anything. That was a direct
follow up to the newsgroup. Go back and look at it again there is no
difference. If there is prove it.

You only have to write for a Linux desktop environment such as KDE,
Gnome. Then a distribution that uses that desktop environment can use
it. There is no reason to try to think you have to write for a
specific distribution. The Linux kernel Is written so that a user can
customize it easily for his/her needs or wants. Such as Cern, Pixar,
Nasa, me, just to name a few.

Naw it is a huge mess. Touch screens for example is now the new fade
(maybe one that will last for generations to come). Virtually all OS
support it right out of the box. But not Linux! Linux is that OS that
always lags behind everything else. Try to get Linux to learn a new
trick is like a pulling a lazy donkey while it kicks and screams.

Like I said You haven't really used Linux especially recently.

And it remains very stable. Unlike MS which will not let you see their
code, and is not as stable.

My Windows machines are all stable. Although I am not into beta testing
the latest and greatest Windows versions. I wait until they have been
proven stable.


It is not as stable as Linux and you run into many more problems with
windows- bloatware, viruses, update problems, errors that can't be
figured out by anyone so the suggestion is to reload windows and start
over. I can go on from there.
