Re: Got Vista or Win7? Worry.

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

The one time I saw Linux on the laptop, the guy plugged in his USB mouse and it didn't work. He comes to me hoping that I could help and all I could think was "Get an OS that works." A few minutes later I was laughing to myself about Linux. It was mixed with a bit of sadness though, as this guy was depending on a free (or should I say worthless) OS to get his work done, instead of just using the obvious - Windows - which hardly met a USB mouse it didn't love. Linux isn't just funny, it's a joke.

Saucy

Come on, you must admit that was funny. You must have a sense of humour, you use Ubuntu.

What I meant was, you need a sense of humour to have Ubuntu on your computer.

It may be funny to some third graders.

I agree. Ubuntu is funny and your a third grader.

So please share with us what is "funny" about Ubuntu?

It's funny how it didn't catch on for a start but who was talking to you anyway?



Just interested in why you should think Ubuntu is funny. Do you think perhaps that OpenSuse is also funny? What about Fedora or Mandriva, are they also funny?
Just interested in why you should think that.

Look above o wise one. I think it's extremely funny it hasn't caught on and will never compare to Windows as long as you have got a hole in your anus.

Does that satisfy your interest?



yes. Enough to plonk you.
I hate people like you (on both sides) who rubbish an OS for no reason other than you think it's "funny".
Grow up, and realise that there are people in this world who don't WANT to use MS software (for whatever reason).
If you can't be bothered to post a reasoned argument as to why you think Linux is so "funny" then just shut up.
