unix n00bs

unix n00bs (i.e. most of you here) make me shit my pants

for the love of god, people, using unix for a month is not enough to make you knowledgeable in its ways and give advice to others. please refrain from making yourself look like complete utter idiots (mind you, this is hard to achieve since idiots are the norm in CS) by giving horribly shitty authorative-sounding suggestions based on shit you read two days ago on linuxtoday and newsforge.

discuss.

You bet it's about "me". I've stated clearly why linux makes a poor desktop for John Doe, and many power users as well. They're all asking, "Why should I use this? What's in it for me?" They don't care about elitist geek wankery, nor should they. Not everything rotates around computers.

Of course, the answer to their question is: it's waste of time. Spend some money to get a better prepared desktop, then go outside and do something more worthwhile.

>>32 just don't get it. Do you?
