You don't get that kind of widespread usage by mere faddism and preaching. A lot of people had to find it to be genuinely better than the alternatives.
Maybe the unprofessional hackers knew what they were doing after all.
- perching_aix 1y agoNot consistently mutually exclusive. I consider Linux awful, but that doesn't mean I'd advise us to migrate to Windows Server.
- koverstreet 1y agoSo... you badmouth Linux, in a thread about politeness, and you don't even have anything positive to say about anything? That's some delicious irony.
- perching_aix 1y agoMaybe you thinking that false positive remarks are a necessary part to politeness is your real issue with it? Ironic in its own way, although at this point I'm just consumed by the despair.
- koverstreet 1y agoNo, but I do think that generic badmouthing adds nothing to the discussion. Saying that you think Linux is awful without saying why is just... vacuous. It's pointless complaining.
- perching_aix 1y agoSo it has nothing to do with politeness then? > awful without saying why Why would I need to elaborate? You expressed that a lot of people hold it in high regard, I expressed I don't. That was exactly the extent I wanted to address it and I think it's a perfectly reasonable stopping point. I don't need to explain myself about my own impressions. To the extent it was relevant, I played along and that's it.
