My Idiot Friend - For Tiberius and Rob

I still love the fact he tried to say Android was more popular than Linux; he clearly had some Linux "myth" site in his browser and was just reading the lies off that.

As for the "professionals" seeing the industry move more towards Mac and iPhone / iPad, I think that is a ridiculous notion. The professionals I meet all agree that the future is web-based, browser and OS agnostic.

I still have no idea what industry he talks about here. It certainly isn't the computer industry...

I've noticed he keeps flip-flopping on his position. Half the time it's "Linux is in decline, Linux has failed, Linux is useless" and then half the time it's "Yeah, Linux has dominated servers, oh yeah, Linux is good for...etc"

This line is now my favourite though:

"Nobody really wants to make drivers for linux, there's no point."

Does he even know what a driver is?

Of course he does, but what does that have to do with computers?

I like how he thinks that linux is old and not up to date, as in lacking HD capability, etc,.

Never mind how linux was the first OS to fully support IPv6 years ahead of time, began work on compositing window managers well before Windows did, etc,.

btw:

Dell has recently decided its going to pull the option of linux being available as addon to their desktop pc's due to operating system not showing the full potential their systems have to offer.

Is crap.

Dell has stopped supplying Linux as an option because there was no demand for it. Dell have been brilliant for use under Linux for as long as I can remember. Pretty much everything works right out of the box after a base installation of Ubuntu, Mint, OpenSuse or Fedora. The only exception being the broadcom wireless, as they would not release a GPL driver set. This has changed since last year. Dell's have shown to be way more efficient under Linux than under Windows, specially in the graphics dept.

Old techno dill here:

I have Linux Mint on my old Pentium 4 which is my back up for when windows XP on this box shits itself. I also have a Linux disc which I can use here to remove viruses.

I like Linux a lot and would have it on this box if I could get all the apps I want.

The Opinionated One sounds like an undergraduate philosophy student who asserts he can prove God does not exist.
