I want to adopt a Linux, but i'm not sure if i can take this commitment.
Any successful Linux owners here?

Mine was acting up until I had it neutered. Ever since then, it's been bliss.

Don't get a plain Linux, you idiot. Make sure you have a GNU/Linux and it will protect your freedom.

Please everyone, think of the poor Hurd. All alone, with no one to use it. Please, do the right thing. Get a GNU/Hurd.

I'd actually like to see OS usage statistics for /prog/. I know for a fact far fewer people here use one of the BSDs than pretend to (and Mac OS doesn't count), but I'd like to know how many people still use Windows.

I think it's pretty safe to say that most people on /prog/ don't (at least not as they're main OS)

Still use? Windows has more software support than Linux; I don't know how you could knock someone for using Windows.
The only way to make it clear to him that he should not come here to our lists in the future, is to teach him a hard lesson, and that is done by continually re-adding cc's back to him -- because the mails talk about him -- even when his friends come our mailing lists and delete the his address from the cc list. Like this message, which adds him back in. Richard, you are a lying cheating hypocrite.

Why would I call my OS X a BSD? I don't use it for the UNIX freewares it builds upon. Windows has tons of BSD freewares too but nobody calls it BSD. You guys calling your Gnome or KDE a "Linux" or a "BSD" are retarded.

lol wat?
why would RMS Matthew Stallman visit BSD mailing lists?
damn, is he ever NOT looking for a fight?
I recently installed FreeBSD on my laptop, but now all I have is X11 and no internet. The entire BSD community must be maintained by insane trolls because they have fully documented support for installing via floppies but no USB support. Who the fuck is going to install an OS with floppies? It would take about 1500 floppies just to install the 7.1 release.
