Indeed. Among the *hundreds* of filthy lies that he has spewed
in here was the claim that with GNU/Linux as a desktop, "running
for more than just a few hours is literally impossible".

The desktop environments are not as stable as you suggest so I
will stand by that as well.

Perhaps you speak only of your own experience. Mine is MUCH
different:

beau@desktop:~$ uptime
10:37:12 up 148 days, 21.11, 2 users

That's my Ubuntu from early last September when there was a
half-day power outage. I'm sure others have even better results.

gremlin@Slimer:~ uptime
05:38:32 up 11 days, 9:13, 3 users, load average: 0.26, 0.14, 0.07

I had a much longer uptime, but, I had a battery failure issue on a
specific UPS, so... Fixed now though! Walmart had the batteries I
needed in the hunting dept for $11 on clearance. Yes, the rectangular
12volt batteries found in your typical UPS. 7.5A at 12volts - 25AH
Which is better than the Panasonic 7.2AH at 12volts, 20AH that I
pulled from the APC Smart 700 UPS unit that runs that particular
Linux box.

Walmart guys use these for outdoor hunting purposes and trolling
motors for a boat. They're perfectly suited for various UPS work as
well as Powerwheels upgrades; if you should happen to have/know of
small children that own one or more. Er, by upgrade, I mean, usually
makes it go faster and run for a longer period of time. [g] Kids like
a 'turbo' button. hehehe. Just be sure to tell the kid not to turbo
it all the time, else, the motor(s) will burn out on them.

I've resorted to building a tiny timer board that if you hit turbo,
it fires via relay another battery onto the motors for a very limited
amount of time. 'NOS' if you will. and, depending on how many
'stages' the unit has, you can only press the button that many times
before you have to wait for it to recycle. You may not wanna get that
techie with a kids toy, but, I was having fun with it. Swapping out
for lithium reduces weight and provides even more power to the
motors, but, the motors tend to burn up much faster when doing this..
so...

"Slimer" is a bald-faced liar and a LInux-hating loser.

He "stands by" such ridiculous *lies* as it's "literally impossible"
to run Linux as a desktop for "more than just a few hours".

Guffaw.

You're right, I should correct that: it's literally impossible for run
Linux as a desktop in general if you have standards.

Well, in my case, Slimer is the name of the box I pulled the uptime
from. From the original Ghostbusters, thanks.
