much as id like to snicker and agree, this is sadly not true and you can still run linux on a 386 natively with a few tweaks :spergin:

This is pretty cool and reinforces my point.

Yes you download videos with https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/ first and then you play them back with VLC or Kodi

Trust me it's the best way

god help you if you need to use wine in debian because all you get is a loving ancient built in the official repo and if you go try to find a repo with up to date binaries for debian you find this clown who fell off of the gentoo wagon or something telling you not to use repos and to build it yourself

ubuntu at least has up to date software in the official repositories. just dont use unity

linux is for servers.

ubuntu is the most popular one by far, but the name and brand is really gay and now it's really lame and corporate and they do stupid stuff like release phones. every ubuntard complains about the 2 year release cycle of debian, but then they use the LTS of ubuntu, which has a 2 year release cycle. just use debian

it is rumored that locked under torvalds beard lurks something grotesquely inhuman, with a ravenous thirst for control over all of your hardwares. the bio-slayer can only be unleashed by turning on your system while holding f13 with any lunix iso in a media slot. the bootable lunix, if properly formatted, will consume the soul of your cpu by utilizing its subservience to the motherboard.

Linux is very good for doing nerd poo poo and providing a platform for stuff that normal people use. If you voluntarily run it at home as an actual OS on your personal computer though... :anime:

i would say the redhat family, including centos, is way more popular for servers than Debian or ubuntu dogg

Since it is now 2015, most current lunixes are actually pretty good at letting you watch youtube and use wifi and all that historically pain-in-the-rear end stuff right out of the box. Finding linux software that is not extremely spergy and bad is still pretty difficult though

Thunderbolt is a cool port and i don't think it will go away on the pro lineup, i doubt anyone that isn't a nerdlord uses it though so why would they include it on what is targeted at the mass market?
