Absolutely, it's not like Linux ripped Microsoft off or anything...

GNOME until 3 - Looks and behaves exactly like Windows 95
KDE - Looks and behaves exactly like Windows 95
XFCE - Looks and behaves exactly like Windows 95
Cinnamon - Looks and behaves exactly like Windows 95
MATE - Looks and behaves exactly like Windows 95
LXDE - Looks and behaves exactly like Windows 95
LXQT - Looks and behaves exactly like Windows 95

Clearly, Linux is the hotbed of original ideas.


So many lies, so much bull****. NONE of them look like Windows 95.

LOL, let's have the newsgroup decide. I'll provide links to images of
each one of them:

Need I go on? The Linux kernel is in itself a ripoff of UNIX and
most of
the desktop environments are clearly a ripoff of Windows 95. You can
continue to call me a liar and embarrass yourself complete, losing
every
ounce of credibility you have in the process or you can do something
Linux advocates seem incapable of and apologize to the person who has
just schooled you. As long as imbeciles like you are around to
propagate
false propaganda about Linux in the hope of gaining converts, I'll be
around to dismiss whatever bull**** you've spewed and bring you
back to
reality.



iOS, Windows, Next, Linux, etc. have similar looks. Linux is more
configurable. None of these screen shots look exactly like Win95.

So it's forgivable for Linux to have a start button, have the same
elements in the same parts of the screen and even operate like Windows
95 as long as it doesn't look *exactly* like Windows 95. What a
crock of
****.

Linux
doesn't do much malware. Windows loves malware.

Windows 7 and 8 have built-in defenses against malware. It, in addition
to setting your UAC to the highest level or even using a Guest account
as you would in Linux ensures that malware stays off. This argument is
an old one and doesn't excuse how awful Linux is.

Linux is more stable.
Windows is not.

This was only true when Microsoft was delivering the 9x of Windows.
Since 2000, it has been the absolute opposite. Windows 7, 8 and 8.1
work
wonderfully and do not crash unless you use faulty hardware.

Bull****.

To a blind Linux advocate. Meanwhile, the 90% of the computer-using
world which has chosen Windows over OS X and Linux disagrees with you.
It's not a coincidence that the operating system you guys gave birth to
in a toilet is only used by about 1.5% of the world. Hell, I was in Cuba
where a distribution is sponsored by the government and where Windows
use is discouraged and its airports and resorts _STILL_ use Windows.
Even the dirt-poor Communists refuse to use it, imagine that.

Linux, on
the other hand, has applications which just quit for no reason and
don't
even provide you with an explanation as well as bugs which freeze the
system entirely and require you to power off. Your continued
bull**** is
noted.

You're the one doing the bull****ting. I've never known anyone to have
those types of problems with Linux.

I have no reason to believe you since you've already lied several times
to protect your toiletware, in particular about updates not breaking the
system and it not borrowing heavily from Windows 95. Your credibility is
nil and therefore any statement you make is worth less than dirt.

Linux is free. Windows is not.

Ebola is free, the vaccine against it is not.

Your analogy is false but, then again, so are you.

I have evidence and statistics on my side, you have a bunch of unwashed,
obese, bearded virgin fellow liars on yours. I prefer my position.



Well A, listen and learn, Yesterday out of sheer boredom I Loaded up
Zorin Linux, I saw on the web that it was better then some of the others
I've tried.
Well as usual the network would not work,with my Nettgear WDRN 3100v2
adapter, had to switch to an older Dlink unit and **** around with it
till got it to work.

Sound was weak had to turn speakers up to about 70% manually.
Then finally tried to increase cursor size from 24 to 36 as I can barely
see the tiny white cursor on a light background.
Anyway when i tried to back out of Dconf THE SYSTEM LOCKED UP SOLID!!!!!
I had to power off the computer to reboot back to Windows, Where I found
That Your so good Linux had lost all The macros on my Steelseries gaming
Keyboard. SO DON'T tell me that you have never heard of such things, NOW
YOU HAVE.
Needless to say another Linus distro went into the ****pile.

Rene

Do you always give up so easily?
