I don't get it. Why do all the open source fanboys LOVE to live in a perpetual state of denial? No matter how many times you explain the difficulty of using their stuff, instead of trying to figure out how to decrease it, they will spend their time just arguing that it's better that way.

I just cannot get over that unbelievably complicated file system...
But I'm working on it.
@NEETzsche

Yeah... that would be also good. But my favorite question is more like l: What disk is this file even on?

“I bet you feel stupid now for not just knowing that off the top of your head huh? ”

Man is about as instructive to average user as dripping an apple is descriptive of gravitational mechanics.
If you know, it might seem obvious, but if you don't know, it's just a falling apple, not a measurable example of applied force that is constant, and applies to objects outside of the atmosphere with wildly different results...

I am trying to switch, because I am tired of: "Well, out middle manager number 35 decided, that average user likes candy crush, so we installed it to your PC without asking."
@lina @NEETzsche @errante
No...
NO...
They are not the same, AND the average programmer isn't shaking from even thinking about linux because the task bar is on the left instead of down.

I am talking about the stupid "Distro x is pretty much a windows copy" line.
And yes, obviously I was referring the old ubuntu. But the UI is the least important part of the jumping OS.
@NEETzsche @lina @errante
There are no windows-esk distros though
