What the fuck does
that mean!?
After a bit of searching, I ultimately found
this post on the Ubuntu forums. In a nutshell, it was a whole big long huge gobbledygook-laden cluster-fuck of all kinds of low-level shit
before you even get to the point where you can ask the fucking forums for help!Right. Just like MacOS. Uh-huh.
God-damn fucking LINUX HIPPIES! THEY SHOULD ALL DIE!!! No wonder Microsoft rules the fucking planet!
Y'know what comparing Linux--
any Linux--to a commercial, boxed OS like Windows or MacOS is like?
You go to a local diner and buy a hamburger. It's a good burger, fixed just the way you like it and it tastes really good, just like you're used to having them. You've been to this diner before, and every once in a blue moon the cook has an off day and you don't get cheese on your burger, but overall you feel you get a decent burger for your money.
A few days later you go over to your hippie friend Steve's house because he invited you over to have a burger. He doesn't believe in locking his doors, taking showers ever, or not using
Patchouli oil. And he likes to dabble around in the kitchen. Oh--did I mention that Steve's a vegan, too? So he puts before you a sort-of greenish meat-like veggie patty with soy cheese, organic homemade ketchup, alfalfa sprouts, and green tomatoes on a whole-wheat bun with whole rolled oats on top. Oh yeah, and he's not much of a cook, either, 'cause he only started an Intro to the Kitchen class at the Learning Annex because his roommate who could cook up and moved out because Steve couldn't come up with the rent--so your "burger" isn't quite cooked all the way through. But you choke the thing down anyway because you don't want to be rude, and end up sick the rest of the night because your system is completely rejecting the horrid thing you just introduced it to. But Steve keeps insisting, over and over and over again as you get more and more and more nauseous, "I don't understand... it's
just like a regular hamburger."
You get Windows and MacOS at the diner. You get Linux from the same guy who force-fed you the Hippieburger.
I'll stick with my diner burger, thanks.
