  I like Tux and am glad its on the credit card; he's the Linux mascot and it wouldn't be the same without him. Also, that blog post is full of needless profanity and hate. If you wanted to present some kind of reasoned argument against tux being on the card, that was not it.

  Linux isn't even close to "ruined". It's extremely useful and in widespread, nearly ubiquitous use for a variety of uses. It's not a "failure" that GNU/Linux isn't widely used on the desktop. As a fan of UNIX operating systems and open-source software, I don't even really care -- and in fact think Windows is naturally superior for that use case. Microsoft has a structural advantage that enables them to be better at putting out a desktop OS than the open-source community. Why do so many people think the mark of GNU/Linux's success is whether it's used as a desktop OS by non-technical consumers? Best tool for the job, and all that. Edit: Just saw that this was written by Jon Hendren (aka @fart on twitter), who can best be described as a comedian. So, this article is probably just trolling anyway.

  If I cared about what people who spend too much time on message boards thought, I'd never get anything done. Too much credence is to the comment section.

  Citing this piss.io website with the shitlord author is like citing maddox for a real conversation.
