Which people like me find to be the fun part :)
- pavel_lishin 9y agoI completely understand the fun in solving a puzzle, but for my day-to-day machine I want something reliable - puzzles are great for the weekend. It's the difference between having a Honda Accord for a daily driver, and a 19600-something-or-other as a fun fix-up project in the garage. (Sorry, I'm not a car guy, that analogy went off track very rapidly.)
- svennek 9y agoIt is more like having a simple tool that works reasonable well with minimal training (for example a shovel) vs. having a highly customized tool that requires quite some learning and "tweaking" (like having a hydraulic motorized digger)... And after you have learned enough, the latter is as reliable (if not vastly more) that the former.. I haven't had a single day for the last half-decade, where my linux box let me down...
