"The first wisdom acquired when digging a hole is knowing when to stop digging; the first task you're faced with is deciding when it's deep enough."
Which is the exact wisdom I used to determine that Linux is unthinkable as a normal day to day desktop environment.
And will probably remain so for some years to go.
Probably you should check out your information, before writing something alike in a public form. Because I'm afraid you are wrong on that one;-)
Since the release of openSUSE 10.2 my Windows XP Professional installation became fully obsolete. I'm currently using Kubuntu 7.04 and no more dual boot machines. There is nothing Windows can provide GNU/Linux doesn't provide except for the mallware:-)
invest your grate talents in something useful
OK smartass, probably it's too complicated for you to understand that English is not my main language. I have to rely on the spell checker of Firefox. Since I never really learned English, I guess my English is pretty good. Now how is your Dutch?
- Surprise me -:D
I realize that Grate should be Great, but unfortunately ISPELL denied it. You are right on that one.
Please come back if you really have something on topic to add to the discussion, otherwise do the planet a favor and simply shut up:p
I guess it was Linus himself who started the popular "have fun" quote and yet again thanks to Linus, we're having a global flame war:)
However I fully agree with Linus's point of view. Since I use Linux for 8 years now and gave all available desktop environments a fair chance.
Gnome IMHO, simply does not look right and it does not feel right.
Of cause I respect all coders that contribute to Gnome, but IMHO you girls and guys are waisting your talents on something useless. So please my friends, stop waisting your time and invest your grate talents in something useful (like KDE or the like).
To the so called end users: if you don't have the skills to work with a respectable Operating System and desktop environment, simply leave it. Nobody is forcing you!
Just return to your good old Micro$haft Windowze. It's up to only you;)
Anyway, have fun!
