> Well, as someone who helped found Gentoo Linux, fuck Linux. It’s the absolute best thing for servers, AND NOTHING ELSE. If you’re running Linux on the desktop, you’re a person who would rather fix his computer than use it.
He even mentions Windows 8 as a more viable option. WTH?
As someone who actually uses Linux on the desktop I have to very much disagree. I install it. It works. Every time.
Ofcourse he came from Gentoo Linux which has been rideculed internet-wide time and time again for their incessant need to über-optimize ever single little thing way beyond pointlessness.
His error in is generalizing this onto the rest of the Linux-world, and guess what? That's just so extremely wrong and not even close to a normal user these days. I haven't even bothered compiling my own "optimized" kernel the last 5 years. Shocking! I know!
This guy is a hardcore Linux geek converted into hardcore Mac-fanboy (polar opposite), sold on the "it just works" idea, because things didn't use to just work in the world of Linux.
The transition must have been wonderfully liberating. But now he finds that his newfound hero has abondoned him and that it was not the saviour he had hoped for and he is lost.
Had he only known he could return to his roots and find everything he wanted right there.
