I thought it was a little funny?

So wait, you’re saying that anything created or developed using opens source software should be given away for free?

So is the real issue not technical? More of a social/moderation issue? The post makes it sound like there are technical reasons that only experienced technical persons can solve. I’m not much of a sysadmin, but I’d be curious what the underlying technical difficulties were.

I guess the first time wasn’t enough hahaha

Slackware was my first distro more 25 years ago! Good times.

Y’all is where it’s at.

Yeah, just reading ‘Yast’ triggered me

I think he just meant the self loathing part?

I remember going to RadioShack as a kid too and they had a Tandy computer setup. It was magical for 8 year old me. I think they even did repairs back then because that electrical soldering smell is seared in my memory.

I’ve been using Linux for almost 30 years and I still don’t use it as my desktop. There are just too many little things that don’t work or are a hassle day to day. It’s great for messing around but unless you’re spending all of your time in a web browser or a command line, it’s just not worth it when I have real work to do. It’s been about 5 years since I tried a desktop version so maybe it warrants another look. But, I doubt it. Desktop is just not a priority for open source.

On the other hand, when it comes to servers Linux is always my number 1 choice. I run several relatively high demand services with up times measured in months and sometimes years.

Hail for the first time I can remember in NW ga.

Me too! It also included several other similar fates for children that misbehaved!
