Why Linux Sucks
It is ugly out of the box


Can't claim that microsoft windows looks nice at all and with multiple
different solutions on UI all with in one OS, it should have simple to
make a unified look when you have control of the whole product, but the
one who seems to always fail is microsoft, but then their business model
ain't to provide a good software, it's just about selling licenses, no
matter if the product is their own or not.

Linux has been largely used in the server scenario, yet there are many
who think it can compete against both Windows
and Mac OS when it comes to desktop usage.


Funny that a Linux desktop is outselling microsoft's windows on the
laptop market. Linux is the most used OS for IoT, Super computers,
servers and home electronics. Just remove all Linux devices you have at
home and you suddenly can't do any of the smart things you have come
accustomed to.


Debian is where Linux started, and where it should have ended. There
are many retards out there who claim that Debian 10 is the “GOD of
stability”.


That is a bold claim, do you have references?


This is ****ing hilarious, I have NEVER had any crashes
using Windows 10 on VirtualBox and NEVER had any BSODS or stuttering
on my Windows 10 workstation


I have to say I have quite often encountered issues with microsoft
windows 10 (and earlier) in VirtualBox, there even been bugs in
microsoft windows that made it fail to boot on VirtualBox (and native
hardware too), but as you most likely noticed, it's more stable and
boots up a lot faster in VirtualBox than on hardware.


, however when I decided to deploy a
Debian 10 VM the GUI won’t simply appear. I tried again, and again and
again until it simply won’t work at all and I was just being fooled,
but that’s what Linux is all about – a ****ing joke.


We see you have issues with point and click, it's almost as if you had
to get your grandfather help you and write your post.


There will always be that guy who says they have an Amiga at home and
a Linux workstation and server, and left it turned on for years.


Don't see what the Commodore Amiga has to do with Linux, haven't seen
Linux for Amiga, but on the other-hand there are some nice BSD
distributions you can install, if you are into Unix.

Linux users just can’t have Visual Studio, Adobe products and other
private software that would be required for professional work because


Nothing of that is required for professional work, but I know that for
some people who thinks the pirated applications they use are the tools
for professionals.


companies won’t support it since they should focus in making cash, not
attending needs for user, right?


There are a number of companies who earns money on producing for Linux,
for example IBM, Oracle, SAP, and many more.


Microsoft’s CEO
Satya Nadella is an open-minded guy, pretty much the opposite of Steve
Ballmer, and is embracing Linux – but that’s another smart move.


It seems Nadella is building in Linux kernel into microsoft windows, now
it's not far to replace the old and buggy microsoft windows kernel with
something better and the best thing is that you will not notice that you
become a Linux user until it's too late.


They
have become platinum members of the Linux Foundation and are slowly
buying control of Linux by showing support to the open-source
initiative. “If you can’t beat your enemy, join them”


This is for Microsoft depends heavily on Linux to run their
infrastructure and they hope on getting many Linux virtual servers to
run on Azure platform as possible.


Richard Stallman is a ****ing moron, the dude even said on a video
he’s never installed GNU/Linux (doesn’t mean he’s never used it
though). But the thing about him that I find disgusting is his
thoughts on pedophilia.


Mr Stallman ain't connected to Linux more than that the majority of
Linux distributions uses GNU tools (which also are available for
microsoft windows, supplied among others by Microsoft) and that he
fights for open source.

Sure Mr Stallman has some odd views on sexuality, but then does Mr Gates too

So we have found similarities in the open source community as as to the
closed source and steal others products community.


On the other hand, Bill Gates, alongside his wife, is a brilliant
philanthropist nowadays, and has improved life on Earth in many senses
and has never been involved in such a shameful polemic and doesn’t
have disgusting thoughts.


When you have earned money on others work, without their permission,
then you can afford to be what you want. Without stolen code, microsoft
windows wouldn't have an tcp/ip-stack, nor would there be a on
memory-stick bootable version of microfot windows 7, and so on...

So he ain't any better than Pablo Escobar, as Escobar also earned money
on criminality and was kind of philanthropist too.


He emphasizes reading physical books as a
MUST for every single human being out there as he’s passionate about
reading and acknowledges we are life-time learners.


He ain't the first criminal to do so, just see Mao Zedong, Muammar
Gaddafi, and so on...


His billion
dollars is nothing compared is humility – something that someone just
can’t have or buy, you are born and raised with it.


He have never been humble, just been lucky with his lies.


Ballmer for their endless efforts on showing the world how cancerous
Linux can be


Sure Linux is a cancer, or should we really say open source, when you
attach it to your product, your product becomes open source and this is
what Steven was afraid for and now Nadella is doing with microsoft
windows, making it part of the open source community.

As a bright businessman Ballmer has seen the power of open source, you
get people to work for free on the products you sell.



Damn, the 90’s was a golden time. I remember back then when I was in
college and my professors told me Linux was going to take over the
world


So right they were, now almost 90% of all devices, computers,
smartphones run Linux.

You know that .net core is based on mono, which was born on a Linux
computer, maybe it's time for you to stop using microsoft products?

No. My smart phone was stolen when I was travelling so I've decided not
to bother with it. Now it's just a simple Nokia phone that can receive
calls and text messages. The simple fact is I don't like talking on
the phone. People can email me or text me or come to me face to face.

I am running FreeBSD 12.0 on my web server. Otherwise I would be
running Linux there also.


Good for you. Try using IIS.



I highly doubt that MS will release ALL of the source code of any
Windows version. There is proprietary code in there.

They can always release the sanitised version if they wish.

Why Linux Sucks

Linux has been largely used in the server scenario, yet there are many
deluded morons out there who think it can compete against both Windows
and Mac OS when it comes to desktop usage. If you have ever used
Linux, you know what I’m talking about: it is EXTREMELY ugly. Not to
mention the bad UX, I have had many crashes using both Ubuntu and
Fedora. Never tried Arch or Gentoo, I just don’t get why ****tards use
these distros, maybe they think they are 100% anonymous and their data
won’t be collected anymore, or they feel superior because they use a
different package manager and went through a command-line installation
(LMFAO).

2. Mistakenly claimed as “stable”

Debian is where Linux started, and where it should have ended. There
are many retards out there who claim that Debian 10 is the “GOD of
stability”. This is ****ing hilarious, I have NEVER had any crashes
using Windows 10 on VirtualBox and NEVER had any BSODS or stuttering

but that’s what Linux is all about – a ****ing joke.

There will always be that guy who says they have an Amiga at home and
a Linux workstation and server, and left it turned on for years. If
you believe people who claim nonsensical bull**** like this, you
should really go see a shrink (one can easily fake the uptime of their
machine).

3. Lack of REAL software

Linux users just can’t have Visual Studio, Adobe products and other
private software that would be required for professional work because
companies won’t support it since they should focus in making cash, not
attending needs for edgy assholes, right?

Thus, Linux ****tards claim that some of these companies are secretly
paid by Microsoft not to deploy their software for Linux (not saying
this couldn’t be true, MS got them smart moves. LOL) Microsoft’s CEO
Satya Nadella is an open-minded guy, pretty much the opposite of Steve
Ballmer, and is embracing Linux – but that’s another smart move. They
have become platinum members of the Linux Foundation and are slowly
buying control of Linux by showing support to the open-source
initiative. “If you can’t beat your enemy, join them” describes The
Linux Foundation sucking Microsoft balls perfectly.

4. Controversies

I’m not even going to talk about the ego controversies between Linux
users when it comes to being superior by using an editor over another,
or even if it’s about distros. Linus Torvalds flipped his middle
finger and said “**** You” to NVIDIA, well I guess you know why…
NVIDIA doesn’t really like GNUtards sucking on their balls for decent
drivers, specially if they don’t know how to suck balls.

Richard Stallman is a ****ing moron, the dude even said on a video
he’s never installed GNU/Linux (doesn’t mean he’s never used it
though). But the thing about him that I find disgusting is his
thoughts on pedophilia.

“From the perspective of someone who cares about technology,
Stallman’s views undermine the progress of free software, and will
cement its reputation in some quarters as a fringe sphere populated by
weirdos.” – extracted from TheNextWeb article “Free Software Icon
Richard Stallman has some moronic thoughts about pedophilia”.

On the other hand, Bill Gates, alongside his wife, is a brilliant
philanthropist nowadays, and has improved life on Earth in many senses
and has never been involved in such a shameful polemic and doesn’t
have disgusting thoughts. He emphasizes reading physical books as a
MUST for every single human being out there as he’s passionate about
reading and acknowledges we are life-time learners. His billion
dollars is nothing compared is humility – something that someone just
can’t have or buy, you are born and raised with it.

TL;DR

Linux users, **** straight off.

I would like to thank both Tim Sweeney (despite hating Epic Games,
including all Fortnite community, and gaming in general) and Steve
Ballmer for their endless efforts on showing the world how cancerous
Linux can be and showing these communist delusional morons their lives
are extremely pathetic because they are retards who think using an OS
over another make them better than everybody else. Ballmer, however,
was hypocrite when he said “I may have called Linux a cancer but now I
love it”, it’s not because he doesn’t run Microsoft anymore and has
made a lot of cash out of it that he should say something stupid like
this – shame on you, pal.

Damn, the 90’s was a golden time. I remember back then when I was in
college and my professors told me Linux was going to take over the
world – I feel really bad for them now.

Yes.
Telling the truth about how much Linux sucks is a wonderful catharsis.


Are you aware that about 90% of the world computing is done on Linux?
There is only a resisting niche, the Aple desktop and the Windows desktop.

Windows has what you call some sort of font bug.

Surely, you don't want to hang out with Windows users who have some sort

Marek's name has come up a lot recently... I remember having that
discussion with him. What happens is people use the term in different
ways. The desktop Linux distros are often just referred to as "Linux",
but of course each distro is a LOT more than just Linux, and Linux is
tied to a lot more than just the desktop (and actually does much better
in terms of market share in places outside of the desktop).

10 to 15 years before Linux takes off really seriously.

Mind you, Microsoft is pondering whether to give away Windows for free
and to release the source code to the open source community but it has

Linux version so that it can package its own products into it.



So yes, I do feel better.

The funny part is he is using slrn which is a throwback to the 1970's
and a DEC VT100 terminal.
Every option, including colors, are controlled by a text configuration
file .slrnrc.
So if you want to change the color of the text for example you need to
edit the file and add something like CYAN to it, then save, restart
slrn, rinse and repeat 100 times until you find a combination you
like.

Also slrn needs a helper application like slrnpull or leafnode to read
offline. Otherwise it downloads one article at a time as you read
them.
Very slow, especially considering it's a cli application.

Linux worshipers wear slrn like some badge of intelligence because
they were able to configure and use it.
Doesn't matter that it's a God awful program still left in the 70's,
the complexity, especially when coupled with the editor vi or emacs
makes them feel superior.

It's one reason why Linux users are considered dysfunctional. There
are many more of course but we can leave that for another day.
