Embedded distros are extremely thin and server distros don't have desktop components, so I don't know what this guy is complaining about. It looks like he has never heard of Anaconda and Kickstart.
Wow, then I must be super intelligent, like 200 IQ smart, since I've been using KDE on all my chinines since about 1998 or so and I never thought that it is complicated.
There is nothing wrong with the word gimp in most of the civilized world. It is only a slightly derogatory teenager slang word in some US high schools.
The problem is that the general public now wants the police to keep them safe against everything and anything, not just prosecute criminals. In this case, the people that were arrested haven't actually done anything yet. They have only thought about it. So they are being prosecuted for a thought crime.
Minix has been around since the early 1980s, so it is hardly novel anymore. Microkernels are also quite popular, Apple Mac OSX uses one and that is what I am using right now. Slow? Maybe. I never tried to do a proper benchmark, but sometimes it does feel annoyingly sluggish.
Hmm, I think that the patients on which nonsense treatments actually work, likely were misdiagnosed and didn't have cancer in the first place, but were rather ill from something lesser, which was cured by their immune system as normal.
No, they would still need IT people to purchase the several hundred different types of ink ribbons and fix all the broken and stuck daisy wheels. The good old days weren't.
You are forgetting something. They will save money by NOT buying new computers. In a bureaucracy the size of a city, there are tens of thousands of users that can use thin clients, tens of thousands more that can use thick clients and only a few thousand that need real desktops or laptops.
Exactly. My wife is an accountant. She has Fedora with KDE on her laptop. It basically just works. She also has a smartphone and a tablet that both run Android. I never need to help her with anything.
Her mother is a farmer. She now runs a tablet with Android.
Nuff sed.
MS only supports English properly. Europe has dozens of different languages that are all supported very well by Linux. This is a major item for most people.
So, why do you waste money on the phone? Ask your phone company to change it to 'dry DSL'. A line with no dial tone. They will balk, but if you insist, then they will do it.

Encrypt everything you can, always, everywhere. Even bad encryption will slow the spies down and increase their costs.

Careful dude, you may get a ton of pre-orders for your new FuxMatic3000XP by advertizing on Sloshdat.

Aww come-on, what is wrong with squirting songs with your Zune??? ;)
No, you just fell for the shill...

I have given an Android tablet to my mother in law (an old farmer in a remote region). It works like a charm. No problems.

Finally I have something useful and old fashioned to do with my Beaglebone Black. Running Linux on it was kinda boring.
You will never watch them again anyway. Most meticulously saved data is never accessed again.
Wow, congratulations on beating the devil, but keep on being vigilant.

No, the OS is perfectly fine thanks. And don't tell me you don't know about XFCE or LXDE.
Of course they are being paid. OSS maintainers work for IBM, HP, Red Hat, Canonical, Debian, Oracle, Novel... and a few even work for Microsoft.

Worst is, they even believe that they were the first with everything.

Yup. Plus the fact that Linux requires much less support.
Language support. MS is American and only do English well. Any other language is a total clusterfsck on Windows.

Clearly they are not using ECC with ZFS and got a data integrity problem... This is a geek site right?
