But I'm sure that if you dig deep enough there's probably some advantage in an ugly, brutish and short life. No illiterate fuckwits whining about how The Man suppresses them sounds attractive.

Oh I am silly , it forgot your " The big book of facts" annual 1908

Can't argue with the big book of facts

I'll try , but it's stiff competition.

Again, If Linux was as truly superior in this regard (as you claim) then more people would use it, they don't because most people who have used a Linux Gui go "Eugh!". In fact I remember for a while around 2008-2010 that Dick Smith, Harvey Norman and PBtech were selling PCs prebuilt with Ubuntu - they don't any more - that should be a hint....

AD and Windows, with MS Exchange - it's the Holy Trinity - point is, you can't run AD on Linux, so if you want AD (and all the lovely features therein) you are running Windows - and that, my Dear Akzle is why so many businesses run Windows.

Yes and Yes - there are people who like .Net and people who like ASP and until the advent of .Net Core - if you wanted that, you need Windows.

Yes - that one is factually correct - Windows has the most compatible programs for it.

Yes. Multiple times. Have you ever tried to call Linus Torvald?

MSSQL has the least number of Vulnerabilities and Data breaches consistently when compared to MySQL, Oracle and Postgres.

Doom wasn't developed by the Open Source community.... That's my point, hence it was in a consistent state before being ported. Interestingly enough, now it's in the public domain - we have Zdoom, Jdoom etc. etc. all thanks to Open Source.

Which is entirely the point I'm making - Devs do what Devs want to do, with no restriction - the result is forks, half developed applications, Applications which are called differently depending on the Distros.

Those 2 statements are mutually exclusive:

If there is no choice - there is perfect consistency - everything is the same
If there is Infinite choice, there is perfect inconsistency - nothing in the same

If I jump onto just about any Windows box - I can be guaranteed that notepad is installed, Jump onto any Linux box - is it Vi? Vim? Nano? Emacs (just joking - it's never Emacs)?

That consistency means I don't have to spend 5 minutes faffing around guessing which text editor they happen to have installed.

Seen - or Used? 2 very different realities.

When it comes to end user experience, it's not an argumentum ad populum to say that the OS that has the greatest numbers of End Users must have the best End user Experience - which is.......

WINDOWS!

I am an average end user and I hate friggen thing ( windows).

Apple .... Oh let's buy only Mac because you have to ...all I want to do is play a MP3

Which leave Linux mint and Ubuntu ( which ain't so hot)

Which if it doesn't work a quick search and cut and paste into terminal sorts it

Failing that save home folder ( or on install create partion and the save Ur home folder there) .. and then reinstall , 10min incl software

Sorted . And free.

Which is fair enough.

Also - you used the word Partition correctly - you're more advanced than an average end user...

Why bother?

Instead of pretending the bogeyman's out to get everyone and Armageddon's minutes away why not simply accept the facts? The world's a fucking sight better off than it's ever been, thanks to the decline of socialism and the growth of international free trade.

I live here. Fucked if I know what planet you live on but around here pretty much every metric for standard of living is better now than at any time in history.

Sure, shit could be better, but ffs stop whining about how everyone's doomed.

If you have numbers that show different let's have 'em, but I'm pickin' you're full of shite as usual. I mean, how many times do you need to lose this argument before you actually recognise the fact?

Think that's the idea of facts init... In this age of alternate facts and other various shades of moron who refuse to discuss the reasoning behind theirs, it's hard to put too higher an importance on such a big book of facts.

everytime we. go through this , I spend time , you look stupid then ignore everything else ..
we did it with entropy , houses and interest rates , no sorry, that was the other intellectual
Now at this point I honestly have not looked into this. but I know the knowledge our forefather's had was far superior to the garbage we have today ..
so as I said before , if u are game, I am game and no, the CIA big book of facts doesn't cut it or I will quote articles from the sun newspaper or stuff.co.nz which ever is easier

and IF you do live on this planet you will have noticed it falling apart thanks to your and people such as your good selfs, inability to comprehend , take head out of arse and finally act upon.

Clean water , good food and a roof over your head , all within an reasonable work ( energy ) exchange ...

in this day and age ? ..... one thinks you may need to go outside more

Learn how to computer?

Learn how to have an open mind?

Learn how to logically analyse your own position and be strong enough to recognise the futility?

Learn not to see stifling the voice of one who seeks rational discussion as an appropriate response?

I mean, there's more than one way to skin a cat, but I think you've caught a tiger by the tail and are confusing it with a snake (who shed their skin after feeding enough to grow to the next size).
