I've been on Ubantu for three years and this linux geek tells me, ```Hey, that kid doesn't know how to configure, make, make install, go teach him some basics, I ain't got no time''' and I'm like WHAT DO YOU MEAN I USE APT-GET and then I lost all respect and the kid installed openSUSE in the end.
People really shouldn't use linux. It wastes so much of your fucking time it's not even funny.
In python class at school(laugh all you want) the teacher thought it was an interesting idea to duel boot ubuntu with windows on all the computers. I stuck to windows while everyone else used ubuntu including a hax0r friend of mine(lol).
It was near the end of the semester and we were all onto pygame and graphical stuff. So my friend writes a simple pygame script from our books and the program on his UBANTOO and this comes up:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\test.py", line 1, in <module>
import pygame
ImportError: No module named pygame
Well, simple solution. Go to the UBINTOO package manager and install pygame. Check it off. Apply. Wait 5 minutes for the download, configure, what ev. Run the program and:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\test.py", line 1, in <module>
import pygame
ImportError: No module named pygame
well, what the fuck. I thought we just installed it. The problem was it was for a different version of python(it doesn't say it on the package manager). So we look for one for python 2.4(because UBANTUZ didn't come with 2.6, nor could we update it or else it would go to 3.SHIT). So we decide to download it from the pygame website. Well, I forgot linux makes you build everything from the source, which is really fucking inconvenient but there was no other way. So dl, and get into terminal, and we try make and all that shit, run the program
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\test.py", line 1, in <module>
import pygame
ImportError: No module named pygame
Well I guess we compiled it, but didn't 'install' it. God damn it. So let's go to the python folder... which is... where the hell is it. Bin? Usr? why isn't there one place for programs like in windows? at least windows does this right. So a quick search reveals the folder and we drag and drop it into the right python folder.
HOLY SHIT FINALLY IT WORKS.
Why the fuck did we have to go through all that shit just to get pygame running. On windows it takes less then 3 YES 3 minutes. pygame.org -> downloads -> pygame_autoinstall_windows_python_2.4.exe -> next -> next -> next -> FUCKIN DONE
A little brain dead, mind you, but it gets it working in a small amount of time compared to the shit-fest that is linux.
