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

Boot time easily improved to < 10 seconds if you know how to disable startup services. My soekris boots in about 300 milliseconds.
and then you can't do shit until you start the services later anyways.

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).
That's like saying the blue shit is better then brown shit because it's blue and stinks more.

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 flexibility to choose.
yeah.  simple.

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.
How ignorant can you be.  Thinking is different then memorizing dozens of program names and flags.  It's more intuitive to click the icon that says email then to type in an array of program names and flags.  We're not in the 80's anymore.  Have fun with lynx.
