`Don't use Linux' is not `that easy'; pause for a moment and think about it. He can't go *BSD way, because drivers are scarcier, and that's a big no-no for him

`Don't use Linux' is not `that easy'; pause for a moment and think about it.
He can't go *BSD way, because drivers are scarcier, and that's a big no-no for him. And even more scarce on other less popular OSes, like Plan 9.
He can't go MS Windows way, because it's less usable for him (duh).
He can't go MacOS X because, uh, I dunno, personal preferences? Pricetag of the hardware+software?
He whines and rehashes old arguments because he feels trapped in Linux, got nowhere else to go :-)
Indeed, not a piece of News for Hackers.
- KonradKlause 15y agoHehe, fair point.
- carmen 15y agohe could throw a maximized webkit and editor in ~/.xinitrc but he wouldnt have anything to complain about
- twopoint718 15y agoHaha, take it just a bit farther. When you get hooked on a tiling window manager, all this twisting in the wind over what KDE/GNOME 3.0/Unity will do next really evaporates. The "surface area" of the GUI is so small there's very little to find issue with.
