Why people shouldn't run Ubantu

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.

after four years of gentoo, and a few of slack before that I'm on ubantu.  got tired of gentoo's festering release issues.  I don't really think it's any easier than gentoo, but then I'm a tiling wm fag, so all the gnome goodies are just bloat
