You'll just never understand the full potential of free OS, open source software, one of the best operating systems/software packages I have ever came across, awesome community support, thousands of open source free self updating software (all the software in the software repositories anyways), safety from virus's and hackers, and the full power of being able to fuck up your entire system with one bad file edit. Not all hardware is fully supported and takes a bit of dicking with to get right, so without a doubt it can be a bitch. I've got it down to setting up a Linux system in under a day with fucking around doing other shit in between downloads and processes. I enjoyed this though. It really shows how much of a bitch it can be for people that don't do their research. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++ http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/cof...linux-why.html I have been convinced that Linux was put on this earth to frustrate man to no end. Installation. Ooooo, I am getting excited with all the pretty new themes that Fedora Core 6 has to offer. I go through and select all the packages I want to include in my install (being the majority of them) and begin my install. Half way through the installation I have to restart due to a transaction compilation error and conflicts in the packages chosen. Oh joy. Oh well, it will all be worth it soon. I do it again same thing. Now I try select less packages, same thing (bare in mind I scanned the DVD for any corruptions). Now I deselect all packages and have a barebone system. No biggy, I can install anything once I have it up and running. I finally get to my desktop, yay, this looks nice. What shall I do first? Maybe watch some videos? I try to watch some videos on youtube, nope, linux has other plans for me. I have to manually install it through throguh source. Why you ask? because installing it through the browser doesn't work. Hmmm, it says it does, but I guess linux is just have a joke with me. I can appreciate a sense of humour. So now once I am done installing through source... guess what! It still doesn't work! Yay! More adventure into the magnificent world of linux for me. So, after an hour of googling and through hundreds of tutorials none work.... Now folks I am willing to subscribe to the idea I am just dumb, that could be a possibility, but I am more willing to accept the fact that my OS is out to kill me. Alright enough is enough, videos aren't worth this. Let's play a game linux! Oh yes, we're going to play a game, but not the one I inteded. So I figure there is no way I am going to get CS up and running through Wine, as it seems I can not even run the simplest of windows apps with it without some random error followed by a crash. Lucky me, my favourite open source game ET comes native on linux, this should be a piece of cake to install.... Wrong. So I fetch my Nvidia driver which also comes native on linux, and after another half hour of googling I am ready to install. I spend about 15 minutes in the blackness of the linux terminal (which doesn't really bother me if it would work how it's suppose to) and finally start the install. ERROR. Oh goody another random error it's my lucky day. Says something about not having kernel source, why don't I have it? Well a little reason that was discussed in the begginnig during install. So I rush to get my source and install it with minimal hassle (compared to every other christ thing I try to do) and try the driver install again. YAY! It still won't work, thanks linux, this was a fun game. So I try install ET anway, maybe I can play it with horrible FPS. Guess what! It installs, this is a first. I run it... It freezes and crashes my computer. Oh you're a tricky little bugger you are linux. Well, let me just relax with some music. What's this XMMS doens't support MP3's? I need to install codecs you say? Guess I will just google another 2 hours for the holy codecs. Well no, I am pretty pissed off now. And... this isn't funny... no amount of sarcasm could make this situation any prettier. There's only one way out, back to the safe (sometimes stressful and lacking) haven of Windows. But linux seems to be fond of me and doesn't want to stop playing. After popping in my Windows CD and having the boot device priority set to CD Drive first I wait. Here it comes the detecting devices screen.... Soon I will be back to the nice little enviroment I left in promise of a new and better one. HOLY SHIT! It froze! Now really... what is that? I try it again, same thing, and again, and again, and again, with the same results. Guess Linux is jealous.... Now then, I have two choices: Smash my harddrive or wipe everything on it with DBAN (Darik's Boot and Nuke). Thank you linux. You have renewed my faith in the open source community. PS. Please do not take this as a flame, just my bad experience. I am willing to subscribe to the fact I am a linux noob. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++ Funny thing is he couldn't get Windows to install after his experience with Linux. Reason - Microsoft Windows seems to sometimes be alergic to the MBR (first sector of the drive) being occupied by something else than itself. .gif ":jointlol:") | ||||

Now they are fixed, and I have a fucking bad ass operating system WAY better than Micro$uck Winblows. | ||||
