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...

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...

Ask yourself some simple questions. Am I annoying as many people as possible? Could I reach more people who are inferior to me? Has my track record of convincing noone to agree with me held firm? If you answered yes to all of these question you are the epitome of a fanboy , and I salute you sir or madam. Don’t we all hate ‘em? Those relentless GoT spoiler numpties, the Star Wars fan that defends The Last Jedi, the Treky that can’t get over JJ Abrams sickening gut-wrenching abomination of a reboot ( I’m totally over it by the way ), all those plebs. But Linux fanboys, wow those guys. They are by far and away completely equal with every other fandom out there. But you know what makes the Linux ones worse? They are right. Not just that they think they are always right, which is basically true. But because they ARE right. These guys can back up their claims with technical data, and so called “factual evidence”. Makes you sick doesn’t it. They’ll talk about how FOSS has somehow improved...
