For the life of me, I can’t figure out why everyone on this board is so obsessed with Linux. I mean, when you buy a new computer, it comes with Windows (or OS X if you swing that way). Why brag about using something that’s free when you’ve already paid for something that’s better? That’s like going out to a bar, ordering a pint, running to the men’s room, pouring the draft down the drain, and filling your glass with toilet water. Then you can’t even enjoy your own toilet water, you have to come back out to the bar and yell at your friends “WHY ARE YOU DRINKING THAT NON-FREE BEER WHEN YOU COULD HAVE FREE TOILET WATER?” or “YOU KNOW THAT BEER GIVES YOU CANCER IF YOU DRINK ENOUGH OF IT RIGHT? WATER IS THE HEALTHIEST DRINK YOU CAN PUT INTO YOUR BODY”. Then you have to go looking under the barstools for gum because the toilet water can’t be drunk on its own, you need to add your own flavoring. And then you all have internet fights about who found the best gum under the stools, “My Mint flavored toilet water is best” “No, I found a new flavor stuck to this guy’s Fedora, it’s the greatest toilet water flavor ever”.
I, along with everyone else in the bar, will just give you strange looks while we enjoy our quality beverage and be social.
wow this is so bad. wait have I been reverse trolled?

As a gay man, I take positive representations where I can get them. Any time a same-gender relationship is portrayed in a positive but very real light benefits us all. The same can be said of Linux, which, much like being gay, will likely remain a minority OS in the a world that seems married to proprietary software, and never really "come out of the closet" and be truly ready for acceptance the desktop. But anytime we can get some good press, it helps us all. I'm a big fan of Ubuntu (even over Mac!) and I'm proud that Dell has taken a stand and acknowledged that some of us are different, and thats ok.

PC comes with OS if you buy it at some stupid store ;)
You can build whatever PC you want from components without something you don't want... like.. windows
And also you can have more OSs on your PC
I have dual boot W7/Linux Mint
