No, GNU/Linux and LibreOffice are not quality work in comparison

We have known this for years and that is why serious people are
using Windows and not Linux despite being free.

OS war! -)

There's no war, GNU/Linux has already lost. I'm generally very
open-minded about other operating systems but GNU/Linux is so
destructively awful that I have to advocate staying away from it
completely. There's no excuse for the same system and the same game
screen tearing when played in GNU/Linux, there's no excuse for a very
standard computer refusing to shut down or sleep in GNU/Linux,
there's also no excuse for one of their main desktop environments to
run slow on an i3 with 8GB of RAM.


You are right. But I play everyday with bleeding edge software and
compile kernel regularly so I had issues which I reported to kernel
list and bugs are corrected. Yes from time to time there are issues,
things that worked no longer working, or some new stuff not working
as expected and such. But if you want to play with Linux, you have
bleeding edge. Screen tearing is compositor problem and not doing
power off is kernel problem. Former can be solved by switching to
different desktop other than Gnome - shell / Unity eg xfce or
KDE (with option to disable compositor on full screen window),
and later by changing kernel to newer one.
Of course you didn;t want to bother rather like a fanatic started
to spew crap against Linux but than again you were also mad at Windows
so you swithced to Linux in the First place.
What I don't understand is why you are so passionate about this
stuff? You are real anti-Linux troll now , while you advocated
it couple of weeks ago
