even in australia you can't walk without tripping over them, where do you live, antarctica? why do you need a phone in antarctica, so you can coordinate raping penguins with your penguin rapist friends? you don't have any friends, no-one likes penguin rapists. here's an idea, penguin rapist, move your tiny frostbitten dick literally anywhere where there's other people. look at you making fun of buttfuck usa when you literally live in a place without an apple store. its water you should be worried about icypole, not your battery, antarctica is like the dryest place on earth, maybe you should look it up on your iphone before you use it to wipe the baby penguin blood off

apple may have caught up in simple things we're still mocking them about like how windows ME was really bad (but it wasn't as bad as a mac) lol but they still suck super hard, and you believe it's not that bad until you have something else, like using an android phone for the first time or admitting that the zune was a pretty good music pklayer

I heard one of the problems with Linux is some people in the open source community will actively sabotage software that's not open source by changing the OS to no longer be compatable. Then they'll go "if you open source your program we can look at the code and fix the issue".

this sounds like something an insane person would say to bash open source hippies, but it might be true, but if it is i haven't heard about it. im sure its happened once or something but i doubt its common

the main problem with linux is support, everyone who works on open source stuff as a side project wants to make a flashy gui or an application, no one wants to just make drivers, fix fringe cases of software/driver failures, or even fix random gui system utilities that dont work. If you get into linux, you need to be able to make scripts and do everything through the terminal, because although most distributions provide GUI stuff to do poo poo like 'have sound' or 'tell your computers screen not to turn off every ten minutes' these will often malfunction and go unsupported

I haven't had that happen in like 8 years, it's always just installed, detected hardware, and everything worked (ubuntu/xubuntu/linux mint). I'm sure it still does happen sometimes but my issues with linux are software compatibility and not hardware anymore

Yeah seems I got unlucky, I had my video drivers flip out at me and my sound card is unsupported so I had to use a USB one I had laying around (But this is Creative's fault, so I guess that counts as software incompatability). Then the power thing and even just little things that bug me like a mouse utility that can't even turn off acceleration so you have to make a startup script in bash that messes with xinput and have it start on boot

Honestly Libreoffice isn't that bad, but I totally agree microsoft office suite is of a higher quality than linux office stuff, but it should be since Office is essentially microsoft's flagship product
