well this is a bootscootin' good 'ol time, ain't it?

Linux has to put aside its reliance on UNIX conventions to achieve great amounts of success in taking over the desktop!

nobody  gives a rat's ass about being able to compile. if it doesn't work, then it's "crappy" and "doesn't work"

people think this way. linux has to change so that everything works right every time. people don't need to be made to change to think "oh, I need to recompile the thing"

how arrogant

btw, I've changed my mind about X11...

The X-11 was badass. The Titan missile was developed from this X-Plane.

So much for user freindliness. Who wants to manually restart x11? Why should i have to? I shouldnt have to "understand" x11. I should be able to just use it, without some deep knowledge of its source, or why it does what it does. The point of user freindliness is that I can just use it without being a master, you know, like what osx and windows do. I dont have to configure quartz to read my mouse, or have to kill it and restart it when i want to change something. Until Linux is ready for the average "idiot" user, it will never take over the desktop. I dont care how much "better" it is than anything else. In fact, noone does. at least, not enough people to actually matter. Mom and dad sure arent going to switch to a linux distro because it is superior to windows, all they want is something that they dont have to deal with. Get online, type some emails. And not worry about shit. They could probably do this now, but they cant have their aol, or msn, or have the kodak photo software installed that they are so familiar with. My roommate sure as hell wont switch. She tried openoffice & staroffice, and both failed. she didnt like them. She even used them for a month to do her homework. So, no ms office on linux, no switching for her. I think that would apply to alot of people.

The only people i know who use linux as an everyday os, are actually quite intelligent, and like to get their hands dirty, so to speak. They know computers. I dont. Id rather not deal with it you know. As long as i can get my work done with little to no hassle, then im set. Linux does not let me do this. Sorry to say that.

My mom doesnt give a damn about macs. She knows nothing about macs other than, they are expensive, they dont have as many easy to find applications as Windows, and they are slower than PC's. This info might be true or false, however, that is the public image that macs have. After all linux users arent the ones who create anti-mac sites.

As for no MS Office on linux, try CrossOver office. As for aol use lindows. I think its funny people run at the mouth about what linux cant do without knowing the facts. Thats why Im here, not because Im insecure about linux.
