ARE LINUX SUPPORTERS ARROGANT? YOU JUDGE

This anguish over Linux/Dell/Ubuntu being "too hard" is the classic liberal arts anguish over "Gosh, that's too hard" whenever it comes to doing anything other than reading poetry, munching on cucumber sandwiches, and drinking Bud Light. If you aren't willing to exert yourself just a little bit, then you don't deserve to run Linux. --Andy Lavarre

Oh, gosh, that was so hard. Who has time to learn something so complicated? I had to type actual words, and some had more than four letters. Why isn't there a big flashing button to push? It's unfair that I should have to know anything about a computer to use a computer. --Dave R.

The article is really negative. Bad Dell for not mentioning that Ubuntu doesn't run all of your Windows software? What about bad Dell for not telling their Windows customers about all of the great Ubuntu features that you don't get with Windows? Oh, I forgot, there are no good features beyond what Windows has. --Phil

Talk about fanboys, Linux has the worst because the reality is that going to a Linux operating system is like taking a step backward in technology. No thanks, I'd rather be able to use the latest cards with the latest drivers that can do more than just be a workaround. And I'd rather not have to learn geek-speak to converse on how to make things work on an OS. --Linux stinks

I'm typing this from Kubuntu Feisty on a dual-boot laptop, and I must say I'm ashamed of some of the comments made by Linux fanboys here. Linux is a big OS now, and it doesn't need a squad of angry people parachuting in. Even if the author isn't correct on the details, his point is still valid: Linux is a lot easier than what I've heard it once was, but it's still not as easy to use as Windows is. --Thomas

The only problem I have with Linux is how every user I encounter believes that if you don't know how to code or don't like the process of working on your operating system, you're inferior to them, which in a way is true. I hate coding with a passion. But on the other side, oh mighty Linux users, do you people have cars? Do you know how to fix and upgrade your vehicles and their in-depth workings, or do you occasionally need help? And not the help that starts off with, "God, what's wrong with you? You're so dumb. Go back to Windows if it's too hard for you."

I tried to get along with Ubuntu for a while, and I had a few helpful people work with me on it. I also had a lot of far-from-helpful people discourage me from joining the little community. --Darren
