What Your Choice of Linux Distro Says about You

Slackware users are libertarian (or even anarchist) control freaks. They react with hostility to any hint of a threat to their freedoms, and make do with a minimum of centralized control. They make friends slowly, and tend to keep them for a long, LONG time but can decisively say goodbye to any who betray them. They have very little tolerance for nonsense.
I always mod up spelling trolls.
OSX and Windows people just want to get work done. Zealots only use Linux for image. Linux is only able to exist due to the framework of real work done by the Windows/OSX sector. In other words, it's a flippant luxury for diddling, equivalent to why diamonds are a big commodity in the USA, but in East Timor they have no cachet.
To recap:
Linux = status symbol
Windows/OSX = tools for real work
Yes.
PS I'm not boasting jackass.

You have some piece of shit hardware? Well so what if it ain't supported. Don't use linux. Because I will tell you a little secret. NOBODY GIVES A DAMN ABOUT WHAT YOU USE.
But you ain't really having trouble with your soundcard. You say you like your music and you use an onboard unsupported soundcard. Those two don't add up. Only the crappiest cheapest jokes of soundcards are not supported, because the people who can write the drivers would never buy such a card or motherboard. Anyone who cares about how their PC sounds does not have a crappy onboard chip.
I thought the "oh my crappy soundchip" ain't supported had been replaced by "my digital camera". Your behind the times mate. Catch up.
MMO Quests are like orgasms:
You may solo them, I prefer them in a group.
So does this mean that Slackware users are delusional paranoiacs, or is it just you?
Ooooh. But now you're angry, eh?
Or are you being 'nuanced and ironic'?
heh
"What's the frequency Kenneth?"
The fact that I've chosen a MAC should say something loud and clear:
That you are better at manipulating the properties of your network card than the average schmoe?
Perl - $Just @when->$you ${thought} s/yn/tax/ &couldn\'t %get $worse;
Well, to reply in kind, you f!cking sh!tbag motherf!cker who seems like eating random cocks -
It's cocks!ckers like you who prevent more people from becoming involved with, or desiring to become Linux/Unix experts.
You'll note I never once "whined" about Linux/Unix being too hard. If it was, my network would be all Windows machines. It isn't.
I'm so glad to have found the dividing line between "enthusiasts" and "elitist prick".
Grow up, move out of Mommy's basement, and realize the real world gives this much {} of a flying fuck about your attitude towards computers or "experts".
Oh, nice comment about being a Republican - what the FUCK does that have to do with anything?
Shitsucking Assbag. I guess I was trolled, eh, scrotum sucker?
Have a nice day!
So, in Sweden and Canada, is everyone poor? And how do you define poor - is it aquisition of capital, or quality of living?
Not saying you're completely wrong, just wondering what your views are on these two cases that seem to be outliers, according to your model.
In Soviet Russia, your choice of Linux Distro says things about you! Oh, wait...
