    As long as you keep relying on this cliche excuse, Linux is never going to be treated as a serious desktop operating system.

    Distros are trying to create usable, friendly systems. They failed at that if their distros are this fragile. That’s what “unacceptable” means in this context. You can’t just throw your middle finger up in the air at the user when their system fails by saying “you didn’t pay for it” and scurry off giggling. Yet Linux advocates keep pushing Linux on inexperienced users, saying that it’s the solution to everything; that it’s so easy their grandma uses it.

    I don’t use Linux as anything more than a toy for this very reason. I’ll start taking it seriously when its advocates do.

      Oh noes!

      I disagree.

      saying that it’s the solution to everything

      LOL

        … And your reply shows exactly why no one should take anything you say seriously. You’re just trolling.

          You’re just trolling.

          Don’t confuse laughing at you for trolling, they’re not the same thing.
