How about they use a console for games and stop abusing a perfectly good computer by installing dodgy toy crap from Redmond on it? In other words they can STFU about their sick fetish.

Why the fuck should I have to hand-edit pppoe.conf to set up an ADSL connection, or type a modeline into xorg.conf to make my monitor work correctly? People with things other than computers in their lives don't have time for this shit.
This is why FOSS OS's will not become widely popular and forever remain the domain of whining, autistic freetards.

>>45 People with things other than computers in their lives don't have time for this shit.
and suddenly the sad truth about my existence flashed before my eyes.
screw it, i like computers; i don't need anything else.
You fags realize that Ubuntu, Debian, and any other type of Linux are all shit? Linux was made as an easier way for human-machine interaction when it came to UNIX. When it boils down to everything, UNIX is what matters, not Linux. You're not hardcore by using Linux. You're just as fine to use Linux as you are to use Windows or OS X. You get your shit done with either of them. When it boils down to what Linux distro, it doesn't fucking matter cause they all do the same shit. You want to IT or Program? You learn UNIX, and not Linux. Linux comes naturally if you learn UNIX. OS X comes naturally if you learn UNIX. Even fucking Windows comes naturally if you learn UNIX. But don't sit here and try to tell people which Linux distro is better cause you faggots aren't any better than the queers at ubuntoforams. A shell is useless without the kernel.

The usage of a kernel is a matter of architectural principles of modularity. If need be, people could design the shell as the 'core program' that would run without a dedicated kernel.

Get a console. The only worthwhile PC exclusives will be SC2 and Diablo 3 and those will be released in about 5 years.
But you'll say no and give me a response most people give: "HURR I BUILT THIS PC MASHELF IM A SUPER GENIUS OF SOME KIND. ALSO I DONT WANT TO PUT THE DVD IN AND HAVE IT WORK WITHOUT ANY HASSLE, IM TOO HARDCORE FOR THAT"

consoles are a waste of money.
why buy a new console every 2 years and pay $100 for games when i can buy a new video card and some RAM for my computer each 5 years and pay $0 for games?
also, console games are lame. their games are designed for children.

You mean buy a console and play games on it for at least 5 years (well not if you get the Wii). You can pirate games on every console except the PS3 and although you seem incredibly poor I'm pretty sure you can afford to buy blank DVDs. Considering a lot of console games are on the PC that would mean a lot of PC games (which a lot of people I know are raving about, even though they think they're only on PC) are designed for children.
Enjoy your lazy ports and Crysis I guess...

Besides the fact that BF2/2142 doesn't have a console counterpart, and that shooters don't play as well on consoles, I'll stick with my "GAYMEN" PC.

That was true 5 years ago, but since they stopped making shooters like Quake and Unreal Tournament because people noticed Halo was very popular (which it shouldn't be, it's average at best) controllers work pretty well for shooter since all of them are incredibly slow.
So you only play shooters?

Another PC gamer here and I don't want a console. I require a mouse and keyboard, I use a mouse and keyboard all day when doing productive stuff so I'm not about to learn a new input method just for gaming. It would be like learning to walk around on my hands.

That analogy is retarded. Also controllers are better than kb/m at some games.

console gamers are retards.
console gaming is all about computer-assisted-auto-aiming.
there is zero skill involved at all, and anybody who thinks there is should be laughed at mercilessly.
also, the only good games that consoles have are ones ported from the PC; the rest are MARIO SUPER AWESOME PARTY 11 or Link the faggot blond elf anus exploration 99.

I dislike Ubuntu for entirely different reasons: It "works", but it doesn't work like it should. Ubuntu is very much like XML: the problem it solves is not hard, and it doesn't solve it very well. PulseAudio was added far too early in the game, and it continues to cause problems for people. SysV init is the most idiotic thing to happen to UNIX since Motif. Shipping broken open-source ATI drivers instead of half-decent closed source ones because of an overblown interpretation of Free Software ideology only serves to drive new users away from that ideology. Same with the decision not to ship decoding software for mp3 and AAC. Luckily Shuttleworth's head wasn't so far up his ass that he broke GIFs too. And while we're on the subject of making things wholly boring, the GNOME configuration Ubuntu ships is horrible, and nobody in their right mind would use such a configuration on purpose. I don't want to get started on the shit surrounding enabling non-free repositories.
MONO IS EVIL! MONO WILL KILL YOU! - no it fucking won't, ubuntu devs. If you're going to recommend GNOME, you might as well install all of it. Never mind that your default user interface is worthless trash without a Mono app called GNOME-Do. Moonlight isn't evil either, but it is generally pointless. The only good thing that can ever come out of Silverlight is the - God willing - death of that shitpile called Shockwave.
It's quiz time: which is easier to patch, a kernel or a userland program? If you're like 99% of the world, and have half a brain, you picked "userland program". If Ubuntu wants to introduce Linux to people, broken drivers isn't a very good first impression. The obvious approach here is to ship stable kernels and recent software, something that any moron would have figured out five years ago, but something that the only notable company ever to come out of South Africa still doesn't understand.
There's plenty of more shit that could fill this rant, mostly targeted at parts of Ubuntu which suck, like apt and OpenOffice, but it's not worth getting carpal tunnel syndrome over. In the meantime, valiant warriors like Linux Mint are trying to fix something fundamentally broken, and hippie idealists like MEPIS and sidux are trying to reinvent something fundamentally flawed.
Ubuntu really only has two flaws: the initial concept, and the implementation.

Actually, I hate generic shooters. I was just using them as an example because they're the best genre for pointing out the horrible interfaces that consoles use.
But whatever, enjoy your extremely railroaded carbon-copy RPGs.

What the bloody fuck are you doing anyway? Why are you telling me this? I enjoy these games, other people don't, and guess what? I don't give a flying Philadelphia fuck what others think about them.

Well, if you extend that to "FUCKITY FUCK FUCK I DON'T FUCKING CARE WHAT [THE FUCK] YOU THINK because I will still enjoy my fucking games no matter what you think and you, and everybody in general, should do the same", then yes, that would be about it.

And here a bunch of genres that are inferior with kb/m: racing, fighting (especially if you want to play on the same PC) and pretty much every action-adventure and platforming game and some 3rd person shooters like Resident Evil 4. I tried playing Assassin's Creed on the PC after playing it on a console. Felt bad man.
Try playing Devil May Cry with a keyboard and tell me how it goes.
There's no doubt FPS, RTS and MMOs are superior with the keyboard and mouse but saying everything is, that's just plain retarded.

you best be fucking joking, man. Grim Fandango, Monkey Island, Toonstruck, Sam & Max Hit the Road, Day of the Tentacle - all PC games, the best action adventure games ever made. fighting
you only think that because you're too used to using a console controller. I'd take Street Fighter on PC over Street Fighter on a console any day of the week. If you don't like the key mapping then you can easily change it.
Racing and platforming games are probably the same, but i don't play them because they suck.
