linux sucks

That's right, Linux sucks.

Linux has one explainable demographic: the computer geek whose life sucks so bad that he or she (okay, he) needs to have constant problems to fix in order to validate his self-worth.

It's more stable! It's more stable! You'll never want to go back to Windows. By the way, we don't have drivers for your wireless card. Use this program to emulate the Windows version of the driver. Oh, and you know how you never have to restart Linux? Well, you have to restart it now. And then it's never going to successfully boot up again.

Because aside from requiring two different installer discs, throwing errors that no one has any conclusive idea about, and freezing upon startup or shutdown, Ubuntu Linux makes my computer run hot. 90ยบ C hot. Plastic-tablecloth-melted-to-the-table hot.

Maybe my computer sucks. I guess I won't argue that. But if it sucks, it sure is good enough for an (apparently inferior) operating system, isn't it?

The only good thing I can say about Ubuntu is that I never thought I'd be relieved to go back to Vista. The Microsoft Sound is going to be music to my ears after this disaster.

The fact that you posted this on a server running Linux (yes Google, which runs Blogger uses Linux extensively) fills me with some degree of mirth.

Point taken, but my arguments still hold water. My problems are mostly with Ubuntu Linux, so take that for what you will.
