24 hrsand 3,200 config files later I can finally connect to the internet. Doesn't recognize my flash drive after formatting it. I love this operating system. So sleek and modern.

It's an alternative to paying for a computer operating system and a big reason why people still pay for computer operating systems.

Linux used to be super complicated when I was a kid. You had to be a rocket scientist to understand this arcane mystery.

I wanna get a rig that actually has an entire Linux distro repository on it. That would be p cool. Because if it was UNIX you wouldn't have to put a drat thing on your physical box but it's cool that Linux tricks your computer into thinking its a server.

I know this is a troll post and all, but it's amazing how fast and easy Linux installs are nowadays. It wasn't that bad a decade ago, but today I'd rather do a fresh Linux install over a Windows install. 9 times out of 10 the Linux install is faster and takes less time to update afterward.

Same. The only time in my last four installs I've ever *had* to edit a config file was to fix an issue with Facebook images loading (the error was on Facebook's side).

100 years ago some nerds in a laboratory made an operating system that was pretty cool, then like 40 years ago some nerd made his own version of that operating system and today other nerds use it and think its cool because those 100 year old nerds are their idols. Even though said operating system is obsolete.

Yeah, I think that I have to add the word "acer" to the sound setup on my netbook but that's about it in terms of necessary tweaking.

Try installing linux on hardware that wasn't created in 1998.

Put Linux on my laptop because I just use it for browsing and making GBS threads around with python. Windows 10 wasn't playing nicely with its slow HDD so I threw Ubuntu on it. 90% of the time it is fine and good but I want to die the other 10% because X will poo poo the bed or something.

Well, idiot, you are already pretty much using it already. But instead of typing out a command, you are pushing a button that then types the command for you in the background.

He absolutely does! I moved to Missouri with 3 dogs in tow to add to his 1 which I think speaks volumes about his almost-infinite amount of patience.

Afraid you have a knockoff on your hands. Whiskey would kill the lowtax operating system. Try giving it some lovely malt liquor and if it barfs all over a dog, then it's the real deal.
