Linux Layman

Damn that’s a clever title. It’s cool if you want to take a minute to reel from that one. But who cares right? Why does it even exist, it doesn’t help me? The world’s most pointless Operating System. Or is it? Valve should be making Half Life 3 and not wasting time building an OS. I mean come on, that’s what we want right, just make the damn game Gabe . Stop messing around and just end our suffering and grant us the gracious gift of your delicious low hanging fruit. I do care very much about SteamOS , but I never plan on installing it ever, anywhere. So why do I love it so much, why did I offer to bare its children, why do I sing it from the rooftops that Valve did a thing. A thing that caused Steam Machines to rise and fall as quickly as they were announced … Machines They were never going to compete with consoles. Just a fact. Consoles are designed, built and shipped to the consumer at a loss. They know that this investment will become a profit at the other end through games s...

You can’t bash Bash. LOL I’m so pun-ny! Also puny. What am I talking about again? Oh yeah automating crap. You know how sometimes you have to do so much clicking and typing, lame. Who does that? But I know what you’re thinking, I’m not the towering intellect you so clearly are Noki. We worship your wise pearls of words of wisdom and suckle at the teat of the life giving nutrients we crave in this crazy world. How do I even get started making my own scripts, I’m a Windows user , we click next a lot and then things do the do. Well don’t despair, it’s far easier than it looks. Trouble is you have big ideas, and those big ideas take time and effort. You get started, you see a mountain designed to fix a molehill and you quit. It needn’t be that way though, I mean it. I had a dream. A dream where every installation, will be automated. No matter the requirements of the machine or the content of their repository. When I began on my adventure I didn’t really plan on making a script . It j...

2 Goddamned percent. Year after year that’s where the Linux numbers sit. No more, no less. But why when it’s such a sexy topic. How is tux not a regular feature in Vogue? Picture it, that beautiful penguin on a glossy cover with beautiful women admiring it’s supple abs… but that’s enough of my wet dreams. Why nobody wanna do Linux things? Laziness I guess mostly. I mean I use Ubuntu so hard for me to push for others to make such an extreme effort. But we all have friends who are techy, but still use Windows or osX like who cares? How can we permit such blindness. They need us to free them of the shackles they neither see or feel and embrace the cold soggy feathers of Tux’s cute if chubby body. Aside from the Apple fanboys nobody actively praises and advocates for these poor excuses for operating systems. They just live with them, go through the motions. Apathetic to the orgasmic joy they could be experiencing each and every time they sudo something. Ethically sourced fair-t...
