Their response was that they shouldn't make it more user-friendly: idiots who don't know what the terminal is shouldn't be running Linux in the first place.

this is true though. in fact its better not to use linux at all

man i used to really want to work for google a few years ago and then yospos showed me what a shitpit that place was (also this was before google+ happened which is where historians are going to say it all went wrong)

then i honestly would have loved to work at red hat if i just had open source ~*credentials*~ but apparently that's also got e: an above average level of bullshit office politics (though tbh it still sounds like it would be worth it)

stop ruining my dreams yospos ;_;

so if os x is bad and linux is better, then why is using any linux 100x more painful? often even the most basic things like hardware accelerated video, multimonitor, wireless and sound don't work properly on linux.

the bsds are very behind the times when it comes to technology needed to support a desktop stack that still integrates nicely with a unix platform (as opposed to air-dropping some alien skyscraper into the middle of a pristine landscape like osx did with quartz and all their non-FHS objective-C plist poo poo).

is that the way people pronounce it? also, who the hell decided "gnu" was a good idea for a name for anything

its open source poo poo so it follows the following rules:

1. bad name (in this case bonus point for idiot pronunciation)
2. bad marketing
