fucking linux

You guys don't even know how pissed I am. I've spend the last 2 days reinstalling ubuntu probably 20 times, and each time things seem to be working fine.

Just when i'm actually surfing around, or just doing the normal shit, watching movies, downloading, and stuff, like that i notice either weird fonts, or lost files....

Lost like half of my 4chan folder, of images, memes, saved threads and shit. I probably lost 500mb of images, and it's because you fucktards always recommend linux, even though windows never does this shit. windows, or even mac, don't require all of this bullshit just to customize your default bootup, and look just fine when you get them installed.

The last thing i want to do is reinstall linux, so what the fuck do i now?? sure, i can reinstall windows, but that doesn't help me get back those files that got erased. i know there are lots of REALLY good file recovery programs for windows, but tell me one that is reliable and good for fucking linux. probably don't have any.

Game don't even work on linux.

When I talk to people, I usually refer to the distribution name: the Ubuntu system, the Suse system, the RHEL system. I also tend to ignore their usage of Linux to mean GNU/Linux; that is, until they show signs of major confusion/ignorance. If someone says to me, "oh but my printer doesn't work on Linux". I would respond, "I cannot continue this conversation at this rate because you are showing signs of confusion. Linux does not handle printer functionality, the system that would take care of your printer is called CUPS." I would then go on to lecture them about GNU and Linux. Only then would I continue about their printing problem, that is, assuming they don't walk away.

Of course, it is completely acceptable when the discussion is directly related to Linux, "that sounds great, but Linux couldn't get my laptop's wireless card to connect to my router the last time I tried it". Network card drivers are part of Linux's domain.
