Slashdot Mirror
Windows Tech Writer Looks at Linux
An anonymous reader writes "Three days ago I accepted Linux into my life and while I'm not yet a convert, the experience has shaken my faith in Windows. It's hard to reconcile because for nearly 20 years I've mostly stayed on the one true Windows path."
Heh, wait till he tries something really off the wall. After Dick and Harry (or whatever the hell their names were) go home, and this assknob tries hooking up his digital camera or otherwise tries to actually use it. Heh, that'll be fun!

"Perhaps" his "tech job" is limited to "trying out" the "quotation marks" instead of "knowing" "how" "to" "partition".
Slashdot needs less Linux-conversion stories from half-baked morons like this, more from people who actually know what the hell they're doing behind a keyboard.
Three days ago I took my dry-cleaning to the cleaners. I had never taken them to that particular dry cleaner before, but my mates Dick and Harry have always used them. When I got my clothes back, they were clean. Oh yeah, I am in fact an assknob. Thank You
I'll bet that he switched back to Windows the second he was done writing the article. This guy sounds like another Windows zealot who tried Linux on their home system just to see what the fuss was about, only to go running back to Windows when they ran into a problem that was difficult to fix.
I've met a lot of people (myself included) who have installed Linux on their home computers and liked it at first. After awhile, though, the lack of commercial desktop software and games starts to become a turnoff. Finding drivers for some of my oddball hardware became was pain in the ass, too. After awhile, I found myself using Windows most of the time, mostly because I was too damn lazy to keep both OS installations up to date.
sellout ..
The moderation is truly flamboyant here.
Anybody arguing against your propagandist pro-Linux bullshit has to take a karma hit just to say boo while you homos can praise Linux to high heaven randomly and get points for it.
Damn dirty apes.
