linux sucks

there's no drivers.  even if there is you have to compile them
middle click and anything beyond it like extra mouse buttons is all fucked up
if you want to do anything beyond word processing, it's all text based shit, I though we evolved past that with guis and the mouse
sound is fucked up
why do you have to have a password and and file permission shit.  this isn't a server
no codecs
sucks with flash and any other embeded content(including java)
when a program crashes you have to restart xorg when you dont find it in top.
linux's server-like shit bugs me.  it's like a big hack job so you can run it all on one computer
it boots slow. vista is faster then this shit

Actually, linux comes with MORE drivers than XP or vista these days. If you install a good linux distro, all the drivers you need are included with the kernel or are automatically loaded. Contrast that with doing a fresh install of vista on a recent machine-- first you have to go to all the different hardware vendors' sites to get drivers, then you hope that it all works on vista without blue screening.

Linux has all the codecs you could want-- you just can't figure out how to install them or where to find them because you're a faggot who is too proud to ask for help and covers up his insecurity with attacks.

Boot time easily improved to < 10 seconds if you know how to disable startup services. My soekris boots in about 300 milliseconds.

Linux was the first (and currently only) platform with 64-bit flash 10. Windows users can't even run a true 64-bit browser (in fact, most applications on a 64bit windows system are running in 32 bit emulation, and thus wasting hardware).

Furthermore, Unix permissions and user management are much simpler than on windows. You only need two files, /etc/group and /etc/passwd (as well as the shadow file), for user/group management, and three numbers you have to understand for permissions. Of course you can get as complicated as you like with ACL's and selinux for permissions, ldap or nis for user management, but unix gives you that flexibity to choose.

And the reason why you're mad at linux's underlying text based nature is that you really can't think for yourself. After all, a GUI is really a means of limiting what the user does. If a window has two buttons, "OK" or "cancel", it's the gui designer's way of telling you that you are too stupid for other, more advanced options. The GUI designer designs his GUI's for people stupider than himself.
